Thought this was an interesting article that shed some light on how exclusionary the liberal consumer is:

“if you’re looking for something to watch, SHUT IN, is pretty fun and vincent gallo gets his ass kicked if you’re into that sort of thing.” That’s a tweet I wrote a couple of weeks ago late on a Saturday night. It no longer exists. The reason it doesn’t exist is because almost immediately after I posted it, I got a DM from a friend: “uh, you know that movie was produced by the ultra-right-wing daily wire with only ultra-right-wing producers, talent, and so forth, for that market?” Uh, what? No. No! Delete! Delete! What? “Yep. They’re trying to make ‘real’ movies now…sneak that shit in under the cover of actual production values.” For fuck’s sake

As my friend put it, “sneak that shit in under the cover of actual production values.” It concerns me that Shapiro so seamlessly infiltrated what was supposed to be just a boring Saturday night. Not in the sense that I might accidentally become a fascist, but in the sense that I wasn’t really given the chance to actively decide whether or not I wanted to watch a movie produced by a piece of shit. And because of that Shapiro achieved his goal. I fell for his ruse. And that is why you don’t watch pirated movies.

Think about how deranged you have to be to enjoy a movie and then call it shit because you found out it was by someone you didn't like? Compare that to the right wing or most other demographics, and they'll watch something and enjoy it for the art as opposed to the artist without issue.

That whole article is gold tier double think especially the whole pedophile part:
That very conservative fear of pedophiles is there too, as is the protection of hearth and home and the woman as maternal superhero.

contrasts so beautifully with the very next paragraph
But then Sonnier’s production company, Cinestate, went dark. Adam Donaghey, a member of its core production team, was charged with sexual assault of a child, and Cinestate’s reputation dissolved in a toxic solvent of misconduct allegations.

Which ones? Heinlein, Bradbury, Clarke, Asimov, Van Vogt...?

Clarke moved to Sri Lanke so he could fuck little boys, Marion Zimmer Bradley helped find kids for her husband to rape with full acknowledgement and approval, those are the two that come to mind. L Ron Hubbard was a pulp scifi guy, so you can include him but the whole Scientology thing kind of over rides it.
 
I've heard a lot of sentiment from 'the right', as loose as that term is, that art shouldn't exist and that it's a waste. I believe, personally, art is the point in science where one takes the fundamentals and warps them in a way that comes off as novel and unique, more importantly, in a way where you can feel it. Synesthesia is an interesting mental factor that comes in to play at higher levels of true art, where one can taste a bowl of fruit painted, or feel a score of music as if it was an adventure one is going on. However, there is an issue with both extreme left and extreme right politics where everything viewed as 'abnormal' is also viewed as an enemy to be eliminated, and with disgust. Disgust is higher in individuals with lower IQs, which is an extremely interesting metric given the fact that those easily disgusted are the ones that care the most about IQ, where-as those digging through life by the sweat of their brow and dealing with reality in a blunt and essential way don't care about things like IQ, they only care if you're good at what you're trying to be, and tend to be more likely to help than someone taking offense to things like it's some form of bread-and-circus past time. I think the right suffers from that issue a little more than the left, but both sides are guilty of suppressing reality.

Makes some generalizations, but otherwise accurate.

The Jewish community has always had a knack of knowing just when to bend on local customs, and where to hold firm on our own.

As a result, yeah, you have lefty Jews who think and act like every other loony tune LA or NYC resident... but you also have Jews from the Midwest or even the deep South, who have far more in common with the locals than they do Jews in NYC or LA, and have far more contempt for them than nearly any other group in the US - again, Hebrew and Yiddish have a dozen different turns of phrase for self-hating Jew.

Case in point, one of my cousins married into a Jewish family from the South... how Southern? They can literally trace their family tree to the folks who built one of the first synagogues in America, right in Charleston, South Carolina, and are proud Southern good old boys who pride themselves on several family members who fought for the Confederacy. They just stick to barbecuing chicken and beef instead of pork. They're also rabidly right wing.

Long story short? Your average American Jew has as much in common with some of our lefty cousins in NYC or LA as your average Italian American does with Andrew Cuomo, or your average plastic Paddy does with Ted Kennedy.

Something extremely important about understanding Jews, but goes overlooked (either because it's normalfags who quail at talking about Jews, or Alt-Righters that demonize them), is that there were three major Jewish migrations into the US and each one was completely different from the others.

Before the Springtime of Nations most Jews in the US were Sephardic Jews, Jews of Spain and the Netherlands, living in the South. Probably what your cousins' family in Charleston was. They were big in the slave trade, disproportionate but didn't completely run it like some of those meme/propaganda things claim. Those guys tended to be conservative in sentiment and, due to slavery, were very heavily invested in the Confederacy. During the Civil War Ulysses S. Grant actually issued an order expelling the Jews from Tennessee (like some shit from the Middle Ages).

About the Springtime of Nations, 1848, Germans and other Central Europeans started flooding into America, and with them Ashkenazi German Jews. Yids. They, like the Christian Germans they accompanied, tended to be prosperous but middle-class shopkeepers, dentists, tailors. These people went to the Great Lakes, the Midwest, and assimilated very well into Small Town, USA.

The last group was the Ashkenazi Yids from the Pale of Settlement, Poland, Russia, who flooded in in the late 1800s/early 1900s when Poles and Italians did and likewise settled in major Northern and West Coast cities. If an American is "Russian," usually they're a Jew. And hoo boy were they toxic. This group started out poor, garment factories and such, but being naturally clever and educated people and extremely ethnocentric, they quickly carved out niches in things like media and entertainment and organized crime. Much like how the American Black has a hostile attitude towards the whole world, born of historical experience, the Yiddishlander had one born of its experience under the Tsar's oppression, and they took their revolutionary attitude and turned it on the culture that gave them sanctuary. And I don't believe they absorbed the culture from the locals, I think there's a solid argument that they took over the ship and steered the ship. Yankees in some way share a lot of Yiddish traits, but the latter's vices are far worse.

Lastly, after Israel was founding I think there was a huge self-selection as those Jews, of any type, that were of a very conservative mindset or a pioneering spirit took off to the Holy Land.

The Jews of the early republic were fine. The Sephardics obviously contributed to the disaster of American slavery, but they were complimentary and functional members of society. The Russian Empire Jews washed up on our shores with a mind to undermine their host and they've been a catastrophe for our culture.


Anyone doubting this, I encourage you, if you play the name game on Wikipedia, looking at Americans specifically, look at where their family comes from. 99/100 times they were from Poland or Russia, not Germany or a Western country.
 
Deplatformed, working, etc, and even if not, usually involved with non mainstream niches that don't get attention, while leftists get huge jewmoney signal boosts.
 
There are a lot of right wing artists in the field of Christianity. But I keep seeing this line come up "right wing artists are too busy working" well that means they're not good enough at art to sustain a platform of patronage reasonable to their demands, doesn't it? You either starve for a while and practice, building up your following and your skills, or you immediately take the punchcard route. You can do both, ofcourse, but it's not an excuse for not being out there and doing your art. Historically, most artists and philosophers have had some form of great patron, for the left, that's hollywood and breadtube; for the right, that's the church and individually wealthy benefactors. Both can and do use crowdsourcing, both sides have wealthy benefactors involved, but the very nature of right vs left wing politics bifurcates heavily along the metric of individual vs collective sentiment.
 
If you're asking why not in Hollywood or some shit it's largely because people will not allow another John Wayne, Charlton Heston, or Walt Disney to exist. Those people actually stood up against Communist Infiltration and the Commies in the unions basically tried to ruin them and slander them as much as they could.

Typically the in roads into creative shit nowadays is gatekept by people who will blacklist you if you don't tow the line. Comicsgate had a point in showing that the people in it are fucking lunatics, the Animation thread (and Antifa thread) shows how hyper-political people in the animation industry are, and stage acting is full of theatre kids who will suicide bait.
 
The place I've seen most likely to have right-wing creatives is that most traditional of artforms... literature.

Unfortunately all the ones I know of are dead. Tom Clancy was super right wing, and Michael Crichton often called bullshit on popular left-wing beliefs and ideals.

Chances are there probably are a lot of right-wing creatives but either they get buried by algorithms or intentionally buried, or are just in mediums that lazy internet fags (not calling the OP one) don't bother to look in.
