Steve,
We’ll that was depressing! When I saw the tweet on gender, I thought well we know how many rednecks there are. Looking at the data, that’s maybe not that off.

First, being conservative, then religious affiliation, were the most important factors in being open to hearing that view. For example, being Mormon was better than being Catholic, but attending Notre Dame was better than Brigham Young. Explicitly conservative Christian Hillsdale was the only college to have a majority comfortable and somewhat comfortable.

Race was more interesting to me: The Aspirational vs The Secure (less anxiety, not about actually doing well or not). I’m sure there’s a lot of overlap with political party, but the Asians!

As far as women… Appealing to women is a waste of time. We’re submissive and value stability. Unfortunately, the strong horse steering our secular society is psychotic…but it’s still the strong horse.

These graphs follow up in more detail on allowing a speaker to come on campus who says “Transgender people have mental disorders.”

On the question of allowing free speech on World War T, the most liberal college (strongly support plus somewhat support) is explicitly conservative Hillsdale:

Conversely, the most strongly opposed student bodies to free speech regarding transgender claims tend to be women’s and rich kids’ schools in the Northeast:

By the way, psychiatrist Scott Alexander recently wrote about how the DSM-V manual has to classify “gender dysphoria” as more or less of a mental disorder in order from patients to qualify for insurance subsidization of their “gender-affirming care.” But then everybody in the profession has to act like it’s the greatest thing ever or not get canceled.

In contrast, homosexuality is NOT an official disorder because, while “transition therapy” is GOOD and must be paid for by insurance, “conversion therapy” is BAD and must never ever occur.

Got that?

Scott writes:

Consider: does the DSM classify transgender as a mental disorder? Hard to say. It includes 302.85: Gender Dysphoria, defined as “a marked incongruence between one’s experienced/expressed gender and assigned gender”. It also includes approximately one million caveats saying that transgender definitely isn’t a mental disorder. Why the contradiction? Because regardless of the philosophical definition of mental disorder, the practical definition is:

If you call something a mental disorder, insurance has to cover treatment for it, which is good.

But if you call something a mental disorder, people will accuse you of trying to stigmatize them, which is bad.

The DSM writers are trans-friendly and want to make sure trans people can get the care they need (for example, in most states, people need a psych evaluation before they can get gender affirmation surgery), so they want to force insurance companies to cover transgender, so they have to include it. But they also don’t want to stigmatize trans people, so they also include a lot of paragraphs about how even though they just listed it as a mental disorder, it definitely isn’t a mental disorder.

(a common claim is that the DSM says transgender itself is not a mental disorder, but the distress it produces is. This doesn’t seem especially destigmatizing to me – you’re the wrong gender, but you’re crazy for being unhappy about it? Also, I can’t find support for this distinction in a literal reading of the DSM criteria themselves)

When the DSM is political, it’s not (just) because the authors are ideologues and want to go around stigmatizing people they don’t like. It’s because “is X a mental disorder or not?” is scientifically meaningless but politically very important.

    California Housing Gotterdammerung

    https://darrellowens.substack.com/p/ca-cities-to-lose-all-zoning-powers

    They eventually came for the home equity of the people who were keeping population growth away from their neighborhoods (while voting for it to be in other people’s neighborhoods).

    Places like Beverly Hills went from being required to build 3 homes over 8 years in the previous RHNA cycle to 3,000 homes now post-SB 828.

    Santa Monica pre-2023 approved 1,600 homes, 551 of them below-market rate, over 8 years. Now Santa Monica must zone for 8,874 new homes with half of them below-market rate. Having been struck by the Builders Remedy and getting their zoning suspended, within one week developers officially filed to build 4,797 new homes with 829 of them low income.

    Santa Monica met 50% of their dramatically increased 2023 – 2031 housing requirements, including a 50% increase in the amount of low income housing approved over the previous 8 years — without a cent of public subsidy — in just one week. This also consists of several high-rise buildings taller than anything allowed in Santa Monica’s zoning code or current housing stock.
    ……..
    Oakland got its housing element rejected by the state for failing to zone for more high density housing in its white and affluent northeast neighborhoods. Oakland has written another draft that upzoned the Rockridge BART area for high density housing — more than 50 years after apartments were banned there — and is hoping for approval tomorrow.
    ……….
    We’ve never seen anything like this in California housing history where a residential building of any height, with any amount of parking, can be placed in the wealthiest communities in the world provided its just 20% affordable and is safe. Zoning has often confined new development to low income, gentrifying enclaves due to NIMBYism in wealthier ones but also higher income enclaves being more profitable for developers. But now the wealthiest communities in the Bay like Marin County, Lamorinda and Silicon Valley may be getting highrises of housing for the first time in their history come the 1st with no ability to appeal.

    This is very good for people making six figures while living like the homeless because of very high prices. But I can empathize with the existing property owners. And the diversity will also flow in, I guess.

    When Trump's predecessor was in office, not only did he push to have HUD tenants moved into suburban neighborhoods, but he signed on with the UN push to increase density and discourage housing in the suburbs and the rural areas … totally surrendering our National Sovereignty to that agenda, among others, that was part of the Paris 'Climate' Accords and the sub-agendas, including 'sustainable development' …

    This was a big step in the loss of our National Sovereignty -- and now Bidet and his accomplices are putting US in further surrender mode by their likely signing of the WHO 'treaty' by the US and other Nations that will also surrender their sovereignty to a slew of unelected bureaucrats in a land far, far away.

    A few days ago I started to thinking that there is an eerie parallel between the increasing volume of female college students (I believe they represent the majority of students) and the rise of such as BLM, "gender issues" and all the other debris that accompanies the ongoing slide into decadence. What was once deviant is now mainstream. Take heart though, because it won't last.

  4. Ban the tradesmen who are skeptical of BLM and transgenderism from the campus as well, then wonder why the lights are off, the toilets don’t flush, and the walkways are covered in snow & ice.

  5. Pew’s been saying this for years–their surveys show it without exception. Women and young people generally are violently opposed to the notion that people who disagree with them should be permitted to speak.

    The (many) topics for which these strictures are to be enforced are supplied to them by the mass media and secondarily, the Institutions. This is a vision of our society’s future, for anyone who cares to notice. It’s almost here already.

    For fun, I sometimes enjoy pointing out to these people that they’re 100% in lockstep with corporate media, owned by billionaires. No exceptions! They look at me like I have two heads. Only freaks would look elsewhere for the news!

    Yes capitalism prefers to inhabit a society filled with lifelong spoilt brats and narcissists; AKA consumers. Christianity, Islam and Marxism-Leninism demand discipline and sacrifice from their followers.

  7. anon[812] • Disclaimer says:

    The survey question wasn’t asking what’s purported/implied in that tweet.

    The actual survey asked about (a) freedom of speech (b) to advocate leftist ideals on campus. So leftists naturally support their own ideas and conservatives split (some are pro freedom of speech, some censor).

    What really needed to be asked is the converse of both (a) and (b): Do you support censorship of conservative ideals on campuses.

    That would show the “interesting” thing.

  8. Woke-ists: Ban those who refuse to conform to the Jewish-promoted agendas such as BLM and trans-madness.

    Conservatives: Ban those who point out Jewish Power’s key role in movements like BLM and LGBTQ.

  9. Solid majority of Republicans want to ban BDS and Palestinian voices even though Palestinians never caused harm to US whites and conservatives. Republicans want to do this in service to Jews who are the main force behind censoring white voices.

    A retarded country.

    And GOP is totally silent about the Colorado Christian baker who’s being sued out of existence because he refuses to bake a satanic tranny cake.

    Whether woke or conservative, it all boils down to submit to or appease Jewish power.

    It looks like 70 percent or so of undergraduates think the idea that transgender people are mentally ill is beyond the pale. But that idea is clearly true, and it's really bizarre that it's controversial.

    It would be interesting to know how many students would support a speaker coming to campus and endorsing the vastly more controversial but also apparently true claims by Ron Unz that Jews are the biggest per capita murderers in human history and that a significant portion of religious Jews are Satanists.

    I'd like to see some source for that. Republicans typically want to set state-level policies about how state agencies and their contractors react with regard to BDS, which is a legitimate government function. I am not aware of any efforts, certainly not successful ones, to ban anti-Israel speakers from college campuses.
  10. By the way, psychiatrist Scott Alexander recently wrote about how the DSM-V manual has to classify “gender dysphoria” as more or less of a mental disorder in order from patients to qualify for insurance subsidization of their “gender-affirming care.”

    Medicine in general and psychiatry in particular are one big insurance grift. It’s all about checking boxes to get paid the most for doing the least. Why would any profit-seeking medical practice do anything different?

    It is interesting, though, that nobody recognizes that insurance is just a form of privatized socialism. And that mandatory and highly regulated insurance is just plain-old government socialism with a middle-man. All of our crazy waste and misallocation of medical resources is just an example of the universal constant that everyone makes poor cost-benefit decisions when they are spending other people’s money instead of their own.

  11. Counter point.

    Back in the 60s & 70s, college campuses were hotbeds of radicalism. However, those idealistic & crazy hippies became more conservative with age. Now those Boomers are mostly Republicans.

    Could a similar dynamic occur with the current generations of Millennials and Zoomers?

    There must be some study that tracks the ideological/political trajectory of generations as they age. Are the Millennials and Zoomers on the same trajectory as the Boomers and Generation Xers?

    While Zoomers are young enough that sufficient data hasn’t been gathered, Millennials are in their 30s. We can compare their voting pattern in the 2000s to the current year. Then we could see whether Boomers and Generation Xers demonstrated the same change back decades ago. Then we could adjust the voting patterns of Zoomers to figure out where they’ll be in the next 10-15 years down the road.

    I’m sure the data is there. It’ll just take some time to find.

    Marxism demands that its followers sacrifice for the good of society. What is good for society is decided by the political leaders at the top and what they decide ends up being what is good for them. It is better if individuals are allowed to engage in mutually beneficial voluntary relationships. This country was founded on the belief that individuals have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and these rights can't be taken away by a tyrant, including one claiming to represent some sort of general will.

So you've got athletic departments telling women they've just got to put up with naked men in their locker rooms, tenured academics on the teat poisoning young adults against the society that lavishes such largesse on them, and paid hos for the footsball team, to ferry them to strip clubs. Nobody really knows how to regulate them because they're a kind of regulatory, executive power-wielding entity in their own right, and there's no market discipline over them.

    Same with the CDC. They've got a bunch of bugs in their arsenal, and are already weaponizing them.

    When an institution goes rogue, you've just got to burn it to the ground, salt the earth, and move on. That means a strongman shows up and harnesses populist energy and just steamrolls over the Constitution, or the Constitution is a death pact. Interesting times.

    I thought the claim was that allowing abortion would make women saner.

    So much for that.

  26. While this is obviously bad, I am going to at least be partially understanding of this position – people who feel insecure tend to be the most interested in rendering judgment and enforcing their morality (favorable to them, of course) on others if it gains them social approval. Most women, whether they will admit it or not, want to feel safe and taken care of and there are a slew of social phenomena in our society today that makes them feel the opposite.

    The leftist ideal of a woman living her best life is generally not in a long term committed relationship, she’s out banging like a sailor on shore leave because she is told that’s liberating, despite it going against her inherent nature. She’s also working like a dog – which means like a man with a family to support – because having a career is prized over traditional womanhood and having a family. Telling women this is what they have to look forward to probably induces anxiety that they don’t even recognize is there. Most live alone and often in urban areas, where the blessings of diversity mean every walk home at the end of the night means being a potential low-risk target. The same is true for many college campuses and this also wears on people whether they consciously recognized it or not.

    Last but not least is the resentment towards society and men that is drilled into them throughout their time in school, particularly intense in the liberal arts milieu where they are surrounded by people whose very job is to inculcate these feelings – indeed, their success and professional advancement depends on it, and the targets/students better repeat the sacred oaths back to avoid social ostracism or a hard time academically.

    Universities were always ungovernable institutions that were at best separated from executive authority of the state or commune. The University of Bologna hired Italian condottieri (mercenaries) to use against the Guelph faction in the city well into the 16th century, and the University of Paris preferred Burgundian rule to the Valois Dauphin and agitated on behalf of Charles the Bold right up until his death.

    In America, it is essential for universities to stand loud and proud against the white, rural, minority that wishes to destroy them -- and I would actually prefer them to increase their bile against white people to reach an absolute fever pitch. Think "voluntary" sterilization centers in which white males are encouraged to get vasectomies by BIPOC peers.

    I suspect that this will require the final retirement of all the tenured boomers, however. Millennials will carry that banner well when it comes their time to rule the roost.

The problem as I see it, however, is that to do so would require the assent of the majority of Americans because I am certain that they are fed up with all this crap. But they need a megaphone, and the current system is rigged to subvert that very prospect. Forget Carlson, Sailer etc., not enough of the rest of the public is paying attention.

  30. So the way to substantially reduce the number of “transitions” and cut the heart out of “gender affirming care” would be to agree that transgenderism isn’t a mental illness. And therefore, it shouldn’t be covered by insurance. Anyone still interested in “transitioning” can then pay for these procedures out of their own pocket.

    That would, very quickly, be the end of that.

    No, the way to hurt them is to cancel the loan PROGRAMS.

    Secondly, it's up to actual individuals (parents) to fight back by not joining the corrupt system. I do get engineering and computer degrees requiring a lot of learning, but most parents ought to wise up and not send their children to indoctrination camps.

    A big advantage rich kids have over uncultured, very smart white boys from middle America is that the rich kids are taught how to survive in corporate America. Whether the parents agree with it or not, wealthy coastal employees know that they must raise their kids to wholeheartedly embrace gays and trans. The kids are taught to never question the qualifications of obvious affirmative action admits and hires.

    Lots of smart, hard working white boys never get their chance in corporate America because they don’t have these instincts.

    They eventually came for the home equity of the people who were keeping population growth away from their neighborhoods (while voting for it to be in other people's neighborhoods).

    Places like Beverly Hills went from being required to build 3 homes over 8 years in the previous RHNA cycle to 3,000 homes now post-SB 828.

    Santa Monica pre-2023 approved 1,600 homes, 551 of them below-market rate, over 8 years. Now Santa Monica must zone for 8,874 new homes with half of them below-market rate. Having been struck by the Builders Remedy and getting their zoning suspended, within one week developers officially filed to build 4,797 new homes with 829 of them low income.

    Santa Monica met 50% of their dramatically increased 2023 - 2031 housing requirements, including a 50% increase in the amount of low income housing approved over the previous 8 years — without a cent of public subsidy — in just one week. This also consists of several high-rise buildings taller than anything allowed in Santa Monica’s zoning code or current housing stock.
    ........
    Oakland got its housing element rejected by the state for failing to zone for more high density housing in its white and affluent northeast neighborhoods. Oakland has written another draft that upzoned the Rockridge BART area for high density housing — more than 50 years after apartments were banned there — and is hoping for approval tomorrow.
    ..........
    We’ve never seen anything like this in California housing history where a residential building of any height, with any amount of parking, can be placed in the wealthiest communities in the world provided its just 20% affordable and is safe. Zoning has often confined new development to low income, gentrifying enclaves due to NIMBYism in wealthier ones but also higher income enclaves being more profitable for developers. But now the wealthiest communities in the Bay like Marin County, Lamorinda and Silicon Valley may be getting highrises of housing for the first time in their history come the 1st with no ability to appeal.

Not all, but the overwhelming majority so that it makes no difference that there are a few who do not. Those are so few in number that they don’t count. Any man who spends any time around White women knows this.

    White women have ALWAYS been the eternal, natural enemy of the White man. Because while White men have been ever more selected for beta male cooperativeness, which produces ever richer societies that are ever deadlier in war, White women HAVE NOT been selected to find that sexy. On the contrary, there has been ZERO selection pressure on White women other than beauty. Thus they find the White men around them rage-inducing, being unsexy and beta male and cooperative. Lady tingle killers. Its why White women, Asian women, mostly don’t reproduce in captivity: aka modernity where they have reproductive control and don’t need an invested male provider for both protection and provision. Asian women are much the same, at least in NE Asia. White and NE Asian women have found their men so unsexy they don’t want kids with them.

    Black women, well they do reproduce in captivity: modernity. Black TFR is still much, much higher than Whites and is still just a bit above replacement in White countries, through the roof in Africa. Even or especially in urban areas.

    Anyone remotely familiar with White women know they find gays endless fascinating, trannies even more so, hate with a passion nearly all White men, and find blacks fascinating as gays and trannies. Oprah and Michelle Obama have made enormous amounts of money being the pretend black girlfriend of every White woman, and Kim Kardashian is their dream proxy banging rappers and basketball Americans.

The school complied with the request, instituting several new DEI programs and sending a status update about how it sought to connect with people from “each of the school’s identified diversity groups,” earning the LCME’s approval.

    Not only are American women giving employment preference, but there is a more or less open movement to earmark all the really big decision making jobs for them. Also, consider that the service based US economy, of a nation largely shorn of its butch primary and secondary industries is more or less a tailor made power structure to entrench female supremacy.

    The irony is, of course, that the transgender bandwagon is the most direct and obvious attack on the interests of biological women you can possibly conceive of – in exactly the same way massive third world immigration is the biggest possible attack against genetic Europeans.

Then we could see whether Boomers and Generation Xers demonstrated the same change back decades ago. Then we could adjust the voting patterns of Zoomers to figure out where they'll be in the next 10-15 years down the road.

    California Housing Gotterdammerung

    They eventually came for the home equity of the people who were keeping population growth away from their neighborhoods (while voting for it to be in other people's neighborhoods).

    Places like Beverly Hills went from being required to build 3 homes over 8 years in the previous RHNA cycle to 3,000 homes now post-SB 828.

    Santa Monica pre-2023 approved 1,600 homes, 551 of them below-market rate, over 8 years. Now Santa Monica must zone for 8,874 new homes with half of them below-market rate. Having been struck by the Builders Remedy and getting their zoning suspended, within one week developers officially filed to build 4,797 new homes with 829 of them low income.

    Santa Monica met 50% of their dramatically increased 2023 - 2031 housing requirements, including a 50% increase in the amount of low income housing approved over the previous 8 years — without a cent of public subsidy — in just one week. This also consists of several high-rise buildings taller than anything allowed in Santa Monica’s zoning code or current housing stock.
    ........
    Oakland got its housing element rejected by the state for failing to zone for more high density housing in its white and affluent northeast neighborhoods. Oakland has written another draft that upzoned the Rockridge BART area for high density housing — more than 50 years after apartments were banned there — and is hoping for approval tomorrow.
    ..........
    We’ve never seen anything like this in California housing history where a residential building of any height, with any amount of parking, can be placed in the wealthiest communities in the world provided its just 20% affordable and is safe. Zoning has often confined new development to low income, gentrifying enclaves due to NIMBYism in wealthier ones but also higher income enclaves being more profitable for developers. But now the wealthiest communities in the Bay like Marin County, Lamorinda and Silicon Valley may be getting highrises of housing for the first time in their history come the 1st with no ability to appeal.

    While this is obviously bad, I am going to at least be partially understanding of this position - people who feel insecure tend to be the most interested in rendering judgment and enforcing their morality (favorable to them, of course) on others if it gains them social approval. Most women, whether they will admit it or not, want to feel safe and taken care of and there are a slew of social phenomena in our society today that makes them feel the opposite.

    The leftist ideal of a woman living her best life is generally not in a long term committed relationship, she's out banging like a sailor on shore leave because she is told that's liberating, despite it going against her inherent nature. She's also working like a dog - which means like a man with a family to support - because having a career is prized over traditional womanhood and having a family. Telling women this is what they have to look forward to probably induces anxiety that they don't even recognize is there. Most live alone and often in urban areas, where the blessings of diversity mean every walk home at the end of the night means being a potential low-risk target. The same is true for many college campuses and this also wears on people whether they consciously recognized it or not.

    Last but not least is the resentment towards society and men that is drilled into them throughout their time in school, particularly intense in the liberal arts milieu where they are surrounded by people whose very job is to inculcate these feelings - indeed, their success and professional advancement depends on it, and the targets/students better repeat the sacred oaths back to avoid social ostracism or a hard time academically.

    University systems are rogue institutions at this point: ungoverned and ungovernable. They are in this strange limbo-land where they're non-profits, state-entities but not really answerable to the executive or legislature unless they exert themselves, and all sorts of byzantine, quasi-judicial procedures. So you've got athletic departments telling women they've just got to put up with naked men in their locker rooms, tenured academics on the teat poisoning young adults against the society that lavishes such largesse on them, and paid hos for the footsball team, to ferry them to strip clubs. Nobody really knows how to regulate them because they're a kind of regulatory, executive power-wielding entity in their own right, and there's no market discipline over them.

    Same with the CDC. They've got a bunch of bugs in their arsenal, and are already weaponizing them.

    When an institution goes rogue, you've just got to burn it to the ground, salt the earth, and move on. That means a strongman shows up and harnesses populist energy and just steamrolls over the Constitution, or the Constitution is a death pact. Interesting times.

    Universities were always ungovernable institutions that were at best separated from executive authority of the state or commune. The University of Bologna hired Italian condottieri (mercenaries) to use against the Guelph faction in the city well into the 16th century, and the University of Paris preferred Burgundian rule to the Valois Dauphin and agitated on behalf of Charles the Bold right up until his death.

    In America, it is essential for universities to stand loud and proud against the white, rural, minority that wishes to destroy them — and I would actually prefer them to increase their bile against white people to reach an absolute fever pitch. Think “voluntary” sterilization centers in which white males are encouraged to get vasectomies by BIPOC peers.

    Lets get real here. White women HATE HATE HATE White men, traditional culture, Christianity, and their heritage. Not all, but the overwhelming majority so that it makes no difference that there are a few who do not. Those are so few in number that they don't count. Any man who spends any time around White women knows this.

    White women have ALWAYS been the eternal, natural enemy of the White man. Because while White men have been ever more selected for beta male cooperativeness, which produces ever richer societies that are ever deadlier in war, White women HAVE NOT been selected to find that sexy. On the contrary, there has been ZERO selection pressure on White women other than beauty. Thus they find the White men around them rage-inducing, being unsexy and beta male and cooperative. Lady tingle killers. Its why White women, Asian women, mostly don't reproduce in captivity: aka modernity where they have reproductive control and don't need an invested male provider for both protection and provision. Asian women are much the same, at least in NE Asia. White and NE Asian women have found their men so unsexy they don't want kids with them.

    Black women, well they do reproduce in captivity: modernity. Black TFR is still much, much higher than Whites and is still just a bit above replacement in White countries, through the roof in Africa. Even or especially in urban areas.

    Anyone remotely familiar with White women know they find gays endless fascinating, trannies even more so, hate with a passion nearly all White men, and find blacks fascinating as gays and trannies. Oprah and Michelle Obama have made enormous amounts of money being the pretend black girlfriend of every White woman, and Kim Kardashian is their dream proxy banging rappers and basketball Americans.

By that time the pool of eligible mates has been winnowed down quite a bit, not to mention the opportunity to have one or more kids, and it's easy for women with a decent career trajectory to talk themselves into the idea that they cannot get off the ladder too soon.

    The WW2 generation remained liberal throughout their lives. The Silent/Korean war generation was more conservative. Early Boomers never were consistently devoted to any particular ideology, which could change with age (e.g. many infamously grafted varying degrees of hippiedom onto a yuppified lifestyle). Moreso than any consistent ideology, early Boomers just seem flaky and narcissistic...Late Boomers have a very strong tilt toward the GOP. The GOP's remains quite successful in many white areas due to a coalition of Silents and (slightly) lesser educated white late Boomers.

    Early Gen X is also quite Republican, although they are a smaller generation than late Boomers and have been less likely to be politically engaged than older generations. Late Gen X over-laps to a large degree with later generations. The large generation of right wing late Boomers+early Gen X is highly responsible for all the crap talked about people under the age of 50 (remember that back in the 90's, we started to hear that each generation would be worse than the previous one, and starting with late Gen X in the 90's young people themselves popularized nihilism about young people being stupid and destructive). Ironically these are the generations whose own parents were Boomers and early Gen X. Yet the parents of people born since 1973 rarely acknowledge their own culpability.

    The 90's were a big cultural turning point; those born after 1973 have been shaped by that.

    The Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) told the school that it found certain elements of its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts unsatisfactory, and requested a detailed report from the medical school about how it would improve recruitment and retainment for students and faculty from underrepresented communities, according to a 2021 accreditation report shared with the DCNF. The school complied with the request, instituting several new DEI programs and sending a status update about how it sought to connect with people from “each of the school’s identified diversity groups,” earning the LCME’s approval.

    Not to go all Thomas Szasz on you, but the whole "mental disorder" thing may be the source of the problem. They labeled it as such in 1952, but did a 180° a few years after the Alinder riot. If it's that sensitive to outside political trends, is it really science?

    As Reg points out, they got psy-op'd. An NPR show literally consists of the conspirators boasting of how they psych'd out the psychs during a Hawaii convention. But really, the simplest and most useful model of homosexual thought is a guy, really a kid, suffering something he does not want or enjoy, deciding he'd be able to put up with it if he were stronger, and so telling himself that he positively enjoys it, and then "proving" it by retaining the cope for the rest of his life. Like the Woody Allen joke in "Without Feathers" where a guy falls out of an opera box, but wants everyone to know that he did it deliberately, so he buys that same box for a month and falls out of it every night. Which means that, yes, it's a disorder.

    Universities were always ungovernable institutions that were at best separated from executive authority of the state or commune. The University of Bologna hired Italian condottieri (mercenaries) to use against the Guelph faction in the city well into the 16th century, and the University of Paris preferred Burgundian rule to the Valois Dauphin and agitated on behalf of Charles the Bold right up until his death.

    In America, it is essential for universities to stand loud and proud against the white, rural, minority that wishes to destroy them -- and I would actually prefer them to increase their bile against white people to reach an absolute fever pitch. Think "voluntary" sterilization centers in which white males are encouraged to get vasectomies by BIPOC peers.

    I suspect that this will require the final retirement of all the tenured boomers, however. Millennials will carry that banner well when it comes their time to rule the roost.

    Great comment. I forwarded it to some young women I know. We'll see what the response is.

    I myself think there's great opportunity in our society for women to enjoy both stable, traditional motherhood, and an exciting, educated single life. But it requires lots of careful maturity and sobriety. These girls need plenty of fatherly, avuncular male professors in their schools, and they're likely getting way too many female ones.

    Replies: @Arclight

    Thanks. I agree that women can have both of the things you mention, but the problem is that both young men and women are stretching the single/living for myself phase out well into their 30s in too many cases. By that time the pool of eligible mates has been winnowed down quite a bit, not to mention the opportunity to have one or more kids, and it’s easy for women with a decent career trajectory to talk themselves into the idea that they cannot get off the ladder too soon. I also think the fake world of social media plays a significant role in selling a lifestyle/image that is totally unattainable for 99% but many people chase far too long before realizing it’s a mirage.

    I think the bigger problem is holding out for an ideal mate that was already taken.

    I used to work with college educated liberal women and they all seemed to expect a White collar White man with some type of career path. With liberal opinions of course...but not faggy.....and should smell nice....and should ... and should. They also weren't going out and living some sex filled singles life as conservatives would assume. Most would go home to TV and a dog or cat. In fact the local bars were pretty dull given how many office buildings of White liberals were nearby. So even that singles phase is a lie.

    The other problem is that people get more set in their ways if they stay single for long periods. They aren't as open to switching denominations or accepting cats or moving to Wyoming or whatever. I've seen this many times with secular White men. They don't want to marry someone religious and they also don't want to join liberal culture. Well how many secular but not liberal women do you think are available?

    I also think the fake world of social media plays a significant role in selling a lifestyle/image that is totally unattainable for 99% but many people chase far too long before realizing it’s a mirage.

    The schools are a big part of it. They convince these women that they should have high standards because they are part of some enlightened class. Of course that enlightenment is just mostly anti-White and anti-mainstream indoctrination.

    There has been a successful takeover by beta intellectuals of most departments. They're not teaching anything of substance but they have expanded their numbers to where they aren't questioned. They are like the mob and don't care. They just get rid of anyone that asks too many questions. Anyone naturally rational isn't going to slog through one of these social science degrees anyways. They are very feminine and centered around group think. I had to drop a Sociology class once because it was so illogical to where I would feel disoriented after the lecture.

    College campuses are dominated by liberal White women. Liberal White women support censorship.

    They either:

    A. Believe their ideology is correct and thus any opposition can only be pushing propaganda

    B. Are aware that their ideology requires lies and cannot withstand open debate

    White undergrads normally start with A but eventually move to B if they stick with liberalism or continue on to grad school. If they meet a man in college then they are far more likely to move to

    OK, so if the obstetritian (thanks to some impressive foresight) assigns the baby’s gender “correctly”, i.e. matching the newborn’s future perceived gender, then the assignee does not suffer from gender dysphoria, irrespective of their biological sex, so no “gender affirming care” necessary.

    I don’t get this one, Mr. Ross. How would cancelling student debt hurt the U’s at all? Even MOAR loans will be given out, basically with the assumption that college is now “free”. The U’s don’t lose the money – that’s paid by the taxpayers’… children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

    No, the way to hurt them is to cancel the loan PROGRAMS.

    Secondly, it’s up to actual individuals (parents) to fight back by not joining the corrupt system. I do get engineering and computer degrees requiring a lot of learning, but most parents ought to wise up and not send their children to indoctrination camps. I mean, come on, many of them come back home with the idea their parents are racist scum and they will hate them for years. So, let’s see, do I want to sign my name to back up a loan for THAT CRAP?

    That would be true if it was in fact held by the universities.

    The debt is unfortunately held by the Federal government.

    Replies: @Feryl

    The WW2 generation remained liberal throughout their lives. The Silent/Korean war generation was more conservative. Early Boomers never were consistently devoted to any particular ideology, which could change with age (e.g. many infamously grafted varying degrees of hippiedom onto a yuppified lifestyle). Moreso than any consistent ideology, early Boomers just seem flaky and narcissistic…Late Boomers have a very strong tilt toward the GOP. The GOP’s remains quite successful in many white areas due to a coalition of Silents and (slightly) lesser educated white late Boomers.

    Early Gen X is also quite Republican, although they are a smaller generation than late Boomers and have been less likely to be politically engaged than older generations. Late Gen X over-laps to a large degree with later generations. The large generation of right wing late Boomers+early Gen X is highly responsible for all the crap talked about people under the age of 50 (remember that back in the 90’s, we started to hear that each generation would be worse than the previous one, and starting with late Gen X in the 90’s young people themselves popularized nihilism about young people being stupid and destructive). Ironically these are the generations whose own parents were Boomers and early Gen X. Yet the parents of people born since 1973 rarely acknowledge their own culpability.

    The 90’s were a big cultural turning point; those born after 1973 have been shaped by that.
