i don't understand how someone could read about historical events from over half a century ago and assume social climates were the same as they are today lmao didn't we just go from debating gay marriage to putting children on hormone blockers* in a 10 year span? things change fast.












* proof modern liberal culture is worse than anything german nazis ever did

Unless your in the top 10 elite-only universities -- The professors are just life long nerds that honestly want to know the truth about their subject. Even some of those at elite universities are. Most of them travel and spend a lot of time in the field despite the Ivory Tower stero-type (again, the stero-type is more accurate for Ivy League types).

Despite what you may have herd, intellectuals don't always cater to Ivy scholarship. Just the government and those in power. Mid-tier professors are actually totally against the system because they feel like its holding smart people like them back. They feel like they can't have an intelligent conversation because the media distracts everyone. They feel like the wrong people in society make too much money etc...

So this idea that college = elitist is a little misleading. There is a real learning and discovery at universities -- even if most the students are just there to have fun 4 years and get a professional entry-level job (hopefully).

The best example I can give on the divide between real intellectuals from the university and media intellectuals from playing who's who -- is Noam Chomsky vs other media pundits.

Noam is an peace dove know-it-all geek, but he doesn't play ball with the elites (he is happy studying and living on his trust fund). So you never see him on T.V. or hear about his ideas, unless you go to a mid-level university and have a professor explain them to you at the end of a 400 level social science class. In my experience, about 3% of people that age even understand wtf he talking about.

I think in order to make this country any better we got to stop it with the jocks vs nerds mentality of labour-oriented conservatives and university-oriented teachers. It's just guised anti-intellectualism on the right. But on the left, its a kind of ugly contempt that would better be directed against those actually causing the problems in society.

good to see smart people feel helpless and opressed too.

All you office elitest liberal types should play close attention to that statement before you elect another pretend democrat nominee.

As Roosevelt said, the elite families of his day never had a better friend, he is the only thing that stopped the revolution (paraphrase).

You would be surprised how fast people warm up to communism when someone gives them a bunch of land to live on. All these poor conservatives suddenly offered "land reform" and given land to work? Conservative will mean a whole new thing after that.

No it's the Nazi's and Trumps fault. Antifa are just protecting humanity.

Pointing out revolution is inevitable under certain circumstances does not a threat make. The possibility of a illiberal revolution (wouldn't say large scale violence is likely) should be some incentive for the elite to give back a bit. But I don't see them doing it. Historically the elite simply can't imagine why anyone would seriously want to change anything. They assume what has happened for a long time will happen for ever. Until they are deposed -- and then they try distance themselves from the old regime (like the opportunists they are) like anyone is going to buy that.
