We have state subsidized bad ideas being created by the largely nationalized and socialized higher educational establishment. We have an entire cadre of Midwid so-called intellectuals who are studying things like gender studies at mid rate and third tier colleges . These people are getting Federally guaranteed student loans to study this nonsense. On some level many of these people realize that they have no prospects to ever really make a name for themselves and so in order to distinguish themselves they have to become ever more radical and lunatic and fringe in the way they present their ideas. These ideas do tremendous damage to our culture when they diffuse into the general population and get picked up by politicians. It’s similar to the way Keynesianism got picked up by the politicians in the first half of the 20th century. Keynesianism gave politicians an excuse to destroy their own currencies in the name of “progress” When really it was just the financial equivalent of witchdoctoring.
