Bret Weinstein is the self-admitted progressive professor who was run out of Evergreen College in Washington state. He has seen first-hand the violence and intimidation that the progressive students feel justified in using. Progressive feel entitled to fake their research, as well as use violence. Their claims to intellectual superiority are bogus. It is nice to see a progressive prof acknowledge this.

Decades ago, David Horowitz, one of the major writers of the New Left in the 1970s, converted to conservatism and said that the "studies" departments in universities were nothing more than a payoff to the radical students and faculty. He said long ago that they are an academic sham and are nothing more than activist training centers for radical Leftists. He was right.

As Lindsay, Pluckrose, and Boghossian point out, their experiment would be far less worrisome if these fields of study didn’t have such great relevance.
****************************************************

All those fields of study are only relevant to those who’ve stupidly invested tens of thousands of dollars in a college indoctrination, and the degenerates and pathologicals that draw their paychecks from being indoctrinators in it.

It’s not about education. It’s about destroying critical thinking, indoctrination, and censorship.

Who would do something like that? And how patient would they have to be to accomplish it?

Read, “The Naked Communist,” published over 60 years ago. They revealed their plans and goals. They listed the detailed objectives needed, to accomplish their takeover. There are over r0 of them. Many have been accomplished.

The Courts are one of the biggest goals. Hence, what we are witnessing now.

It’s all tied together. And they never give up, but keep marching.

And they never stopped.

There are academic ‘disciplines’ like Semiotics that are rich for pulling off hoaxes, because no one has any idea what the jargon used in it means.

It’s really just academic gibberish intended to sound impressive, as if it actually means something. It means nothing. Well, nothing other than that you’re not going along with the con if you identify it as bull$#!t.

The following is an example; try not the think of The Emperor’s New Clothes as you read it:

“Semiotics is the theory of the production and interpretation of meaning. It’s basic principle is that meaning is made by the deployment of acts and objects which function as “signs” in relation to other signs.”
