It has nothing to do with class at all. It has to do with how smart you are. If you’re not smart, you won’t benefit from higher education, certainly post-graduate education. You have to be smart to even get in the door. Try to explain Tsiolkovsky’s rocket equation and Kepler’s laws of orbital mechanics to your average Trump voter. They will end up looking at you slack-jawed, then start screeching about emotions and feelings. The rocket equation doesn’t care how you feel, either you produce enough delta-V and in the correct magnitude and direction, and you get to orbit, or you do not and instead fall back to earth. it’s numbers and math and physics. Racists are well-known for their lack of intelligence. America is full of stupid, scared, fucked up sheep who tune into the Kardashians or reality TV for their enlightenment. Higher education won’t benefit them.
Because he was an influential post-modernist thinker whose ideas were like corrosive acid to the fabric of the West.
Why do people have to be 100% pure? Can’t they have some good ideas and some bad ideas, and you cherry-pick the good ones?
And now my apartment is clean.

How about instead of some stupid symbolic victories over DeSantis, we get some real victories?
The right lacks the left’s predilection for vicious infighting. Wreckers are constantly trying to split them, to generally poor results. Rightists are just like, “yeah whatever, they’ve got some bad takes, it’s not a big deal for us, that’s no reason to excommunicate useful people.” Perhaps there’s a lesson there.
Shouldn’t they be cheering on the war machine?
See, I would disagree with that. The chuds don’t like war, in and of itself. What they like is winning wars. To rip out the enemy’s heart and drink his blood. That’s what they desire above all, a bit of the old ultra-violence. And to find out afterwards that they were right to do it. Well, the DC establishment blob hasn’t delivered a win since Tokyo 1945. Korea and Vietnam stuck in their craw, and Afghanistan tore it.
“…it’s a crying shame the way war has been handled in the last few decades. I mean, let’s look at it out in the open. Let’s stop this pussyfootin’ around. Can you tell me why the hell we’ve given up on the Germans? Can you? Those damn politicians in Washington have chalked them up on our side, and the wars ever since have been a national disgrace. Hell, look at history. The two best wars this country has fought were against the Jerries. Now I say, get the Krauts back on the other side of the fence where they belong, and let’s return to the kind of enemy worth killing and the kind of war this whole country can support.”
– Uncle Victor, “Harold & Maude” (1971)
And it’s not that the blob can’t win - it’s that they don’t want to win. The war is the point of the war. If they won the war, it would be over! To get the idea, imagine an NGO set up to cure some social ill, and actually does it. Everyone who works there would be out of a job! Why would the blob stop making wealth for itself? Look at the temper tantrum they threw when ordered to withdraw from Afghanistan. They deliberately botched it to show how angry they were, and to set an example for the future. Don’t you dare stop our precious wars or we’ll do it again!
