American society may have a shared amount of power at the level of government but when it comes to the influence in media and academia, the left clearly dominates.
Uh, no. The mainstream media traffics in facile pseudo-centrist both-sides narratives and sensationalistic bullsh*t that typically (though by no means always) redound on the right's favor. And of course it's flanked explicit Republican propaganda vehicles like, you know, the most watched news channel in the country. As for academia, there's a pretty huge gap between the politics of undergrads on campus (who are almost no power except as a slight nuisance) and those of the faculty, which lean liberal at best but with huge variance (I'm seeing that in my own department). The administration, meanwhile, act like your standard corporate managers: they pay lip service to woke causes when it gives them good publicity while doing nothing substantive to advance them (and in the meantime continue to squeeze their workers for all they're worth).
This braindead narrative really needs to f**king die.
No its your BS overton window that sees the media as centrist, the media is clearly attached to what is the left in this country, the same happens with Academia which you feel isn't far left enough because it isn't your politics despite it clearly being left of the country.
Your braindead narrative needs to die.
