A very good piece but it is not cynical enough.
The US education system is doing precisely what it's been designed to do - take young, completely brainwashable children and turn them into supporters of the state. And I would even go so far as to say that college makes them zealots and fervent maniacs of the state because it is so clear socialism is now the religion of academia. Bar STEM and business majors, most college graduates are nothing but amped up zombies for socialism.

I'd have to agree with this article.
ReplyDeleteDidja notice that the kids who go to college and get a degree of good use are generally employed, and aren't whining about paying back their loans?
Didja notice that the kids who go to college and a get a wasteful degree are generally low employed/unemployed, and are whining about paying back their loans?
I think the first set have developed a useful skill(s) and are of good utility.
The rest are just useful idiots.
The ultimate goal is to eliminate critical thinking and to make the population dumber and dependant..because they are easily controlled.
it's kind of sick.
We are seeing the culmination of the resurgence of the teachings of the German professors. The new iteration blames nationalism rather than the socialism for the logical consequences when sociopaths took control of their acolytes.
ReplyDelete"For more than seventy years the German professors of political science, history, law, geography and philosophy eagerly imbued their disciples with a hysterical hatred of capitalism, and preached the war of “liberation” against the capitalistic West. The German “socialists of the chair,” much admired in all foreign countries, were the pacemakers of the two World Wars. At the turn of the century the immense majority of the Germans were already radical supporters of socialism and aggressive nationalism. They were then already firmly committed to the principles of Nazism. What was lacking and was added later was only a new term to signify their doctrine. "
