Many academics I see online are leftist whereas many laypeople I see online are right wing.

I'm also a latin american, I'm not saying corruption doesn't exist on the left wing, or that they're not assholes who will go crazy with power. Also I'm not saying voting right wing is always the wrong thing to do, for me authoritarian/democratic is much more important than left/right, so if my choices are authoritarian left vs democratic right, I'll vote right.

But fundamentally when asked about inequality the right wing answer is always along the lines of "it is what it is" or "it will be solved very slowly over the next hundreds of years by not doing anything", both of which are either ignorant or evil, and of you're talking about an educated person one of those should be off the table.
