As developed in the π§΅π, when we examine the admissions process for Ivy & Adjacent colleges, it is a systematically discriminatory process, particularly with regard to middle class white males from the Heartland. 1/
Ivy colleges admit less than 10% of qualified applicants, as developed in the π§΅, and for the winnowing of the pool they heavily overselect for women and POC, meaning the lower end in terms of GPAs and test scores.
When this is understood, then the whole Narrative
2/
with regard to the intellectual "superiority" of the Ivies and the American "elites" in general shatters into little pieces.
Including the numerous qualified white & asian men who don't bother to apply, knowing how admissions work, what is called our elites is perhaps
3/
5% of the pool of the most intellectually capable people in the country - and because of the way they are selected, they are on average dumber than the other 95% who are excluded on racial, gender, class and geographic grounds.
4/
The next logical step blows apart a lot of elitist narratives. There is no need to win a war among current elites. There is another historically well-established way of doing this, and that is complete elite replacement.
5/
There is a vastly larger, smarter group of people quite capable of taking over from current elites, and doing a much better job.
Where are they and who are they? The answer can be found in looking at what was excluded.
6/
They are white men and asian men. They are found in all fifty states, in urban areas and rural areas.
If we look at the current makeup of the US, they are originally likely predominantly from the Heartland.
The substantial majority of them went to college,
7/
and on to graduate school in many/most cases. Likely more of them graduated from the flagship public unis than anywhere else. This is primarily because that is where highly intelligent white and asian men can get admitted and receive first class educations. They also
8/
come from all over the country, and on a dollar basis, the in-state flagship is the most logical for most.
In many cases, yes, large numbers of them have moved to big Blue cities for career reasons, but many have not.
This is 180 degrees different from the current Narrative
9/
We are continuously informed that the Heartland and flyover country is all dumb hicks. In point of fact, we are still the intellectual source in terms of brain power.
And the systemic exclusion of the very large numbers of our best & brightest means that
10/
on a mathematical basis we can be confident that we have our own natural "elites" that both vastly outnumber and our intellectually superior to those that are presented as being our supposed "betters".
When & how our own best & brightest are brought into play will determine
11/
our own futures.
In conclusion - don't fall for the elite vs peasant dialogue that is commonly presented for the coasts vs the Heartland. We are the intellectual superiors, even if we are systematically excluded from the status-based credentialing.

I'm very interested in Bioleninism, it may be better than the term "woke".
Bioleninism as I understand it, is elites creating an alliance of the low-status: single women, minorities, less intelligent people, fat people, homosexuals, tr*ns and so forth. Their status rises and 1/
in exchange, the elites get the total loyalty of those whose newfound status is dependent on the new situation. This allows the elites to plunder otherwise capable productive classes, because they now have a huge voter bloc and group to stand behind.
2/
The elites win, the low-status nonproductives win, and the only price - other than the triviality of screwing over white males & the like - is that society descends into a low status hellhole that can't maintain technology. Eventually.

Nothing against the OP, but a great deal of what is currently wrong in America can be found in that single sentence. This includes elitism, classism, DEI credentialing, and much more.
The idea that someone from a top 15 school is a rarified intellect is elitist garbage. 1/
This is the foundational myth for national leaders being selected only from a small pool of Ivy & other "elite" colleges.
It's all social status - anyone who thinks otherwise lacks math skills. Yes, there are higher test score and GPA performance. Often.
2/
The bigger issue for someone who is, I dunno, intelligent, is that the people who go to the "top" schools make up a relatively small percentage of the smartest people in the country.
There are plenty of others who make other decisions - like studying electrical engineering at

This is where the control of language & narrative comes in. Yes, a good bit of the Union army was foreign or first generation. But, the great majority of those came from the Northeast.
The numbers I've seen show that a little more than half of the Union army was Midwesterners 1/
and they were of mostly colonial stock, much like the South.
It was the Northeast that was the laggards. The South would have kicked their ass without the Midwest being involved, or using immigrant soldiers.
Yet, the Northeast had the universities, and wrote the textbooks.
2/
So, to this day, we have a false narrative of sorts. The true Yankees were and are militarily inferior to both the Midwest and the South. Don't mean to offend anyone, but facts are facts
So the Left now effectively buys into some fictional army that comes from... undefined...

The Heartland is NOT the Kulaks. The truly rural are a fairly small part of our population. We are in small & medium-sized cities and small towns. We are the source of industrial power for the US. We provide most of the military. 1/
There is this false dichotomy often presented by ignorant urban "elitists" that says you're either in the Big City or in an isolated home in the woods or hills. Nonsense!
Reality is a factory town for 30K to 100K people or larger. You are surrounded by millions upon millions
2/
of people, who hold mostly conservative views, in an area that stretches for thousands of miles.
Yes, there is weakness in being in an isolated cabin. There is also weakness in living in a city populated by and ruled by the Enemy. It is far better to live as one of a vast tribe
The key question for America is whether the current radical left majority POC students at the Ivies & Adjacents ever fully take power. They intend to be the judges, politicians, media, university faculty & so forth. If they do and hold power over the next 50-60 years, 1/
then what was America will be utterly, completely annihilated. There will be no escaping it in the countryside, the histories of the communists in the USSR, China & Cambodia make that clear.
If they are not able to take & hold power - it is because their Gen Z counterparts
2/
will keep them from doing so, as well as the Millennials.
The Boomers are done for this sort of thing, and Gen X will be in power as it plays out - but the younger generations will decide it all.
Fortunately, we have some greater younger generations in the Heartland.
3/
with current fertility in the US, keeping in mind the map was of entire states, and the cultures reproducing are not the whole state.
We know some common elements. Not living in large cities is important, as is being part of a traditional culture, as is religion.
2/
A whole series of cultures - who reject their current culture that is producing the fertility crisis - will emerge, and will contend amongst themselves for dominion.
The current culture, which is effectively a suicide pact, will wither away. Most people who believe in
