Why is Music, Film and Television Dominated by Left-thinkers?

yeah, but the Actors and musicians don't come from L.A. and New York, they come from everywhere, and travel to those cities AFTER their social and political ideas are formed. Originally Posted by Chung Tran

They tend to have their ongoing social and political ideas influenced and often changed by the lifestyle they begin to live and who they are influenced by.

Well let me reveal a little something, I have spare time so I have been taking theater classes in acting, directing, and play writing. I know these people in their larvae form. Many are already quoting liberal ideas but they are unable to defend or explain them. There is a high percentage of gay students in the department. I would say that half of the instructors lean to the right based on off hand comments from them but they don't put it out there.
I think most of these kids don't know what they think but they are then given to believe that they know more about the human condition because of observation. As actors, they watch people and they think it gives them insight. The problem is that they don't have the experience to ascribe reasons to the actions. They see someone acting like a badass and it has to be because they are an asshole or some sort of bully. They can find any other rationale. I will admit that a few will ask about my service and what motivated me but most treat it like a caricature of R. Lee Ermy.
I think that most go into acting not knowing and get pushed into believing crap.

There is a fine line between empathy and stupidity. The very best example of this is now being played out in major urban areas like Los Angeles, San Fransisco and Seattle. Their "empathy" dictates that urinating and defecating in public is something we must accept because of the poor souls doing it. Empathy without solutions is a cultural disaster waiting to happen and it's happening before our very eyes.
It would never get there. Who wants to chase him? That's why he ran to Canada like a startled bug when the lights went on! Canada has a bigger tit to suck. The Government Tit HERE is drying up one EO at a time. Originally Posted by LexusLover

everyone knows and agrees, but I never really see an explanation. is it because themes of justice, fairness, and opportunity resonate from "the left", and right-leaning themes fail to excite passion?

where are the Fondas, Streisands, or Mel Brooks and Norman Lear on the right?

you got Clint Eastwood.. his Richard Jewel film is something to go on.. but he is a rare toad.

musically you got, um.. hang on.

Ray Stevens
Pat Boone
Charlie Daniels
Ted Nugent

none of whom made popular music that reflected their political leanings, unless you count Pat Boone's religious music made long after he became popular stealing from black musicians, whose politics and lifestyles he abhorred. those 4 listed are considered to be right-wing goons, the butt of jokes.. is there a true conservative POPULAR musician of note, that I missed?

answer my question, though.. why so very few Conservatives represented? Originally Posted by Chung Tran

Between 1940 and 2018 over 140 movies have been produced with the main subject matter being the European Holocaust during World War 2, that little tid bit of information should give you an idea.

I assume that one counts in the total. although it is not the main subject, it corresponds closely.

Saw the Tin Drum years ago and have my own copy. Not exactly about the Holocaust but about German civilians in World War II. EUROPA, EUROPA is another good choice.
