It retreated, but successfully took over the academies.

yep, but it came back stronger than ever thanks to groupthink of socialmedia

And kicked out people like Alan Bloom who were calling it out.

the 90s were even the rise of "political correctness" as a term.

it was

People were being effectively silenced then.

i remember the first time i heard that shit

I actually don't think it was social media.

i was like

well i dont want to be political

so i know im not going to be correct

so fuck all that noise

I think it was more of a generational shift due to academia being so far left.

lol

Yeah, and that's the *big* mistake I think alot of us tend to make.

Turn the other cheek too long.

you are probably right to a degree pratel

And don't organize to fight.

once it was being taught at kindergarten

Whereas the left, and the far left in particular, does it instinctively.

it gets engrained in them

those kids want to suck off the teete forever

It's more than that.

ya i know

i just like to break it down to my simple folk terms lol

If you are taught that capitalism is evil and soft socialism is good for your whole life. Would you listen to some hack on the radio saying it's actually a good system?

ya i know

i had to literally debrainwash myself

i cant imagine anyone else actually doing that

i only stumbled into it

i grew up in a pretty lefty house in land of the very very rednecks

i was pretty much raised hippy communisim by mom

but luckily pop was there to be like, dont listen to your mothers bullshit

just took me a really long time to realize what he meant

Yeah.

felt like getting removed from the matrix in a way

And this is why the censorship and norms are so key. The left understands that if you get rid of that other voice...

yep

if no one points them in the other direction, they wont really know it exists

and well... sheep along

What're y'all talkin about
