What is the Political Future?

Here's a piece at JewishWorldReview about a new generation gap and how the Kidz are all diverse and liberals and and we are all doomed. He quotes a demographer:

"This gap is reflected in negative attitudes among many older whites toward immigration, new minority growth, and big government programs that cater to the real economic and educational needs of America's younger, more diverse population," he said.

Well, yes. maybe. Or maybe the average kids of diverse background will just grow up to become middle-class patriotic Americans that want a job, a house, and a family. I know a family from Mexico where the kids are all the first to go to college. But they are all planning to be medical technicians and stuff.

Then there's a piece by the Z-man at Taki's. He's worried about gyno-fascism.

Patriarchal authoritarianism provides the firm slap of authority when it is needed. The point is to maintain order. Once it is applied, that’s it. The feminine version has no point other than to inflict endless torment in an effort to gain attention. Of course, it never ends. The ruling class is now a needy girlfriend with a personality disorder, demanding we drop everything to hear about her day.

I'd put the problem a little differently: in terms of the part-time 73-year-old teacher sacked from a Brit university. His boss and the boss of the university were both women. He said, in a private conversation with his female boss that “Jewish people are the cleverest in the world” and “Germans are good engineers.”

The 73-year-old’s remarks were then investigated by Solent University after Dr Bonar complained about his use of racial and national stereotypes.

Do you see the problem here? Normally in the community of women, after a man had said something like this, the women would all get together in their Kaffee Klatsches and tell each other "I can't believe he said that." "Everyone" would agree that he was a ugly man, that they were "literally shaking" and after a while things would get back to normal.

If this episode had just been men, the boss of the 73-year-old would have said to him, "I say old chap, I think you are a little bit off the deep-end on that one." The idea of firing the guy wouldn't have occurred to them. Unless some woman complained.

Hey ladies! I think there is a bit of a problem when a guy gets fired for something he said rather than for something he did. But I realize that in the women's world, everything is about stuff that people have said.

Then we have a general piece about how university students are liberal, but east-coast students at selective colleges are much more liberal. Well, yeah. And there is a reason for that. One: all their teachers are liberal; two: nearly all the jobs in the Gentry class are grift jobs, where you are paid to virtue-signal with gubmint money, and where you never subject yourself to the grueling possibilities of starting your own business. So it makes sense to be a virtue-signaling liberal with a degree in Activism.

Then we have good old Victor Davis Hanson opining about "Why Our Universities Have Failed." He asks

Where did Antifa youth rioting in the streets receive their intellectual and ethical bearings? Why are the First and Second Amendments no longer fully operative? How did the general population become nearly ignorant of their Constitution, history, and the hallmarks of their culture? Why do employers no longer equate a bachelor’s degree with competency in oral and written communications, basic computation, and reasoning? How in the 21st century did race and ethnicity come to define who we are rather than become incidental to our individual personas? In answering all these questions, we always seem to return to higher education—the font of much of our contemporary malaise.

But the point is that, from the point of view of the ruling class, the system is working. They want a gentry-proletariat of angry young people with gigantic student loans. They want a canting moral universe where they can play racial roulette to teach people to hate and to fear. They want a world where they get to name and shame. They need the Deplorables so they can sneer at them.

My point is that the university system has always been a place where the ruing class teaches the candidates for entry into the ruling class how to be a good ruling-class member in good standing and qualify for the top jobs in ruling-class-dom. Back in the day they taught the young sprigs the classics. Then they taught them philosophy, politics, and economics, because rulers needed that knowledge to preside over a modern representative industrial-age republic. 

Now they teach the Kidz critical race theory and the "oppressed peoples, allies, and white oppressors" moral framework. Because the political formula of today's ruling class is that the rulers are battling valiantly against the dragons of systemic racism on behalf of poor helpless minorities and women and non-binaries everywhere, and that is what they want the future leaders to be carefully taught.

My judgement is that it won't work. But there is going to be an slight unpleasantness at the Bellona Club  and a significant butcher's bill before the smoke clears and we emerge into sunny green uplands in the Era After Woke.
