Give it a read.
From a conservative blogger. This guy can write as well as Mark Steyn...
but is more learned. :-)
I don’t know… With all these strange symbols (€™â€¦â€), It just gets… old.

This is a good article. Though instead of Barbarian, Troglodyte, Morlock, I would call it Neurosis, Psychosis, Psychopathy.
Lewis, in a The Abolition of Man, points to a perchance complementary route with what he called “trousered apes”.
Essentially, the use of “education”, not to confer valid judgments such as men ought to have, but to “free” men of sentimentality through a sort of “education” in the hopes that they will be resistant to folks like the salesmen that this writer speaks of is the thing.
The problem that Lewis wrote of is that by giving the young person nothing maintained as valid and always true but only equipping them to debunk all judgments and therefore secure in themselves none is that rather than create worldly men possessing sales resistance you fashion empty men, trousered apes.
And empty men have proven to be easily swayed by every breeze of marketing rather than resistant to it. They are not barbarians, all chest and no head, but chestless men.
So there is at least this alternative to the first part of the trap ... and yet the end is the same should a trousered ape ever seek to fill the void with the same fare the chesty barbarians are feeding upon.
So, backing up a bit, we shouldn’t be surprised to find such “respected educators” as Bill Ayers doing what they can to make either barbarians or trousered apes ... as both serve their ends.
Be nice if he would DEFINE an acronym before taking off with it. WTF is an SJW?
Good comments, but his punctuation isn’t all that.
Thanks, You are totally correct, he can write. Very good article. Well thought out and presented. It is well worth reading.
