Bombshell UCLA med DEI story from @aaronsibarium.

‘Race-based admissions have turned UCLA into a "failed medical school," said one former member of the admissions staff. "We want racial diversity so badly, we're willing to cut corners to get it."’

A reasonable inference from the years of ‘cancelings’ is that, given the scale of what happened, entire industries - journalism, publishing, academia, etc. - are cancerous, irredeemable, and full of malevolent and sociopathic people.

Yeah, technology and collapsing business models were factors but none of this was possible without execrable behavior on the part of many execrable people.

People will try to disembody causation (Twitter, ‘toxic dynamics,’ ‘human nature,’ blah blah blah) but…
…that doesn’t change that when the breaks came off we got to see everyone’s character revealed.

I hope that the reputation and status of the sort of people who led the cancelings (and the industries they inhabit) will continue to be harmed into the foreseeable future.

Key components of managed democracy:

Fake, astroturfed pseudo consensus manufactured by media/ NGOs/ academia that pathologizes dissent.

Constant state of emergency/ exception: Moral panics stoked by legacy media and ideological spectacles (protests) staged by NGOs.

Illiberalism justified by continuous ideological and social ‘progress’ generated by academia, media, NGOs, gov’t.

An algorithmically generated political simulacrum that supersedes true politics and inhibits the expression of meaningful political interests.

Development of a social incentive structure that crowdsources a robust surveillance and censorship apparatus among marginal overproduced elites.

The pathologization of procedural/ methodological/ epistemic norms and core institutional missions in competing power centers.

There’s nothing more important to libs than therapy culture.

It’s a lens to see the world, a framework for describing the teleology of one’s life, a substitute for the comfort provided by religion, and a legitimizing rationale for personal and institutional decision making.

So much ideological argumentation is now dependent on therapeutic jargon - ‘safety,’ ‘harm,’ ‘trauma,’ ‘self care,’ ‘toxic stress,’ etc. - that I don’t think that libs could express their ideas or justify their behavior without it.

Libs are objectively, quantitatively getting more mentally ill and neurotic.

Safetyism, hysterias and panics, a decreasing ability to navigate fulfilling adult sexual relationships, regression to childlike behavior, increasing para sociality - the libs are not well.
