Thanks for the shout-out and share of my video essay, brother! We need more voice and DEFINITELY more exit from the fully evil institutions. They are fifth columns in our society and the fact that they can draw on taxpayer funds by force like vampires while promoting such a wholly destructive ideology is beyond mere injustice to downright criminality.
BTW, we re-posted the essay on Dad Saves America with a few modifications, and it's found a great audience there. More to come like this next week! Here's the new link: https://youtu.be/6noX5AUuzwU?si=_Boee_5gP6AnH0qA

The existence of identity politics isn’t just because Marcuse, et al. wrote some leaden prose books in the 60s--it’s directly connected to the existence of multiethnic societies. A color blind society seems about as realistic as communism.
As you may know, I quit two teaching jobs at Universities (one in California, one in the UK) during the recent Nonsense. It wasn't for the reasons you cite above - it was a matter of principle more than anything - but nonetheless the sense that the university as a concept had collapsed was unavoidable. I wrote about this from a very different perspective to yours back in September, not sure if you saw it:
Btw that video from John Papola is excellent. First class. I appreciate the advice at the end about parenting, I agree with and practice most of his tenets/principles, and in our case add regular church attendance, even though I am not personally super religious. Its about history, tradition, morals and ritual.
The Academy Has Fallen. The Children Are Lost.
Excellent. Love this.

Dennis and Rick could fix this! Love you, brother!

Create new Academies that make the old ones obsolete.
Same answer for all of our corrupt systems.
