Superfluous elite, center-right Foucault curious, anti Med Twitter, expansive liberatory agenda, overbroad definition of fascist

Just a reminder that ‘the institutions’ supported the sort of dangerous, prohibited GOF that resulted in COVID, killing 10s of millions of people and costing trillions of dollars.
The institutions then locked us in our homes and forced low risk people (including children!) to…

They also closed schools for years irreparably harming the most vulnerable students who will never make up the lost time.

Hard not to view events through the lens that empire has turned inward with the federal government playing the role of increasingly paranoid colonial administrators alienated from and hostile to the local population.

I think an important reason libs are so hostile to Christianity is that so much of social justice theology is borrowed from Christianity.
Christianity has to be actively moved out of the way so that there is an empty space for social justice theology.
Over the past few years people have said things to me like, ‘You don’t believe transgender people exist,’ or, ‘You don’t believe in anti-racism,’ and I didn’t understand what they really meant.
On a deeper level they weren’t making an empirical claim or arguing for conceptual…

Grade inflation is a problem because certain people need to be taught early on that they’re simply not very good at specific things and that no matter how hard or long they work at something they never will be good at it.

1/ 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."’ freebeacon.com/campus/a-faile…2/ ‘More than 50 percent of students failed standardized tests on emergency medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics.’

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.

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.

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.

For those of us who managed to remain sober during this period of widespread ideological intoxication it felt unreal and hallucinatory at the time.
If you managed not to be carried away by it, the complete untethering from reality of Western elites was fascinating to watch.

Progressives create entire academic fields that are fake.
For example, basically all social psychology is fake. The concepts are deranged and the studies never replicate.
Yet, progressives will absolutely believe all sorts of social science 'just so' stories that flatter...
...their prejudices even if the ideas have been thoroughly debunked.
Progressive epistemic rot is deep and will not be able to be addressed absent a large, concerted project that would be extremely difficult politically and result in many professionals with fake expertise...

I only have contempt for libs crying hysterically about Steve Sailer.
We were doing well societally striving for equal opportunity and treating each other as unique individuals rather than race avatars.

For a number of reasons libs decided that wasn’t enough:
They were bored, they needed to channel religious impulses, Trump deranged them and they framed him purely in terms of racial grievance and ignored the traction of his critiques of neoliberalism and interventionism.
