I love that the Bushes are dying.

Well I just assumed that both parties would go to shit.

That's what gonna happen for sure.

This is actually more about the ideology and the intentional takeover of academia than the political action portion of things.

Well they aren't mutually exclusive.

politics is downwind of culture

Apparently, some of the people who did sit-ins and so on, rather than thinking the goal was to get academia back to being ideologically neutral as much as possible, just decided that the whole point was indoctrination, so they might as well take over the inputs.

Like, literally and in those terms.

By the time I was in college, it was well underway, but it wasn't done yet.

Well I was raised in a left wing household that taught me to distrust a lot of information taught to me.

So I was never grasped one way or the other via indoctrination.

I was raised by unreliable authority figures that taught me to analyze input regardless of the source. And syllogistic logic at a really young age. Authority figures hated me.

Or made friends with me. Which I think said more about them than me.

university now is little more than a intellectual daycare center for manbabies and women who never progressed from a childhood mental state

Anyhow, I have the most redpill argument ever.

For blacks to rise up aganist oppression, they would need to vote Republican once.

I didn't get indoctrinated in school at all, my mind is blown by the stuff on YouTube

And all the bullshit would slide off from both sides.

Republicans would actually try to win the black vote.

@Eric2, Blown because it's crazy, or just because it's new?

It was a tech school

Both

Fair

Democrats would suddenly care about the black vote.

I can't believe the anti free speech movement

I can.

@Jerm70, that's kind of happening now, so we'll see.

Free speech for me, not for thee.

All through middle and high school I was taught the goodness and importance of free speech

Its timeless.

"Hate speech is not free speech"

@Eric2, it was pretty much what was in the pipeline when my ex was doing his paper. Things that were "too important" or "too sensitive" to discuss fairly. In Academia. Where we were (at the time) supposed to be researching and working out the truth of things.

People aren't taught history very well.

people are not taught well period

Throughout history, 1000s of pounds of blood has been spilled in the name of freedom.

History had already gone to hell. One of my friends, a Japanese exchange student, had another guy that she knew but I did not, come up and apologize to her for the "hoax" of Pearl Harbor. Apparently, his American History teacher had taught him it was a complete hoax used to justify bombing the crap out of the Japanese.

all school teaches you is how to regurgitate facts and figures

She lit into him like mad. Apparently, managing that attack is something of a point of pride for some Japanese people.

My drawing teacher thought the "liberal" in a LIberal Arts degree was the political kind...

Imagine having pride in a terrorist attack.
