If you want to know why elites like socialism so much, there are plenty of conservative luminaries, intellectuals, commentators, talk radio hosts and authors you could ask. But if you want to hear some artful dodging of the question and never get a straight answer, just ask the “Intellectual Dark Web” — the small cadre of well-funded, controlled opposition that the mainstream media now assures us are the intellectual thought leaders of the conservative right. (Amazingly, all of the members of the Intellectual Dark Web are Never-Trumpers, but you’re not supposed to notice that, so… Shhhh!)
So, who are the great thinkers who now allegedly think and speak for all conservatives? Well, they’ve got little Ben Shapiro who is ready, willing and able to defend the honor of Stormy Daniels against that icky Donald Trump and… Hey, why is everyone laughing? And they’ve also got a far-left Canadian sociology professor named Jordan Peterson, who rewrote an open-borders policy paper for the United Nations a few years ago. They speak for all of us on the political right, according to the mainstream media!
If you want to know why elites are drawn to socialism, don’t ask the wrong people like Tucker Carlson, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh or anyone else you’ve heard of. No, instead, you should ask a Canadian sociology professor why the elites like socialism so much.
Take a deep breath and strap yourself in for Jordan Peterson’s answer to this burning question. If you pay real close attention, you’ll notice that Peterson doesn’t answer the question, even as Ben Shapiro wisely nods encouragement in the background. Your media-approved conservative thought leaders, ladies and gentlemen!
