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

    Depends on what you call “academics”. If you mistake phrase shifter courses like “business administration”, “politics”, or “law” as academic, then yes.

      Nah not that specifically. I meant like in social sciences and humanities (other fields are welcome but my main motive was these fields).

        Social sciences and humanities are a classic leftist field. And MINT scientists are usually too smart to be right wingers.

          what is MINT? I am in STEM but I adore the people in social sciences and humanities. Sadly, humanities is dying especially in my country. Barely anyone wants to read social sciences and humanities, as we are a developing country and also just want money
