Social Justice is the phoenix that arose from the ashes of Marxism, which crashed catastrophically everywhere it was tried but was given a safe space to recover (and rebrand) in the Humanities departments of American academia. Out went yesterday's sacred protagonists of the Permanent Revolution, the proletariat—by the 60s at latest it was obvious to all the Left gurus that working people scoffed at them and would not exchange their countries, families and faith for the stale wafer called "Critical Consciousness"—so they were swapped out for the Wretched of the Earth who then became today's "marginalized".
I only raise this in the hope of providing some clarity to the discussion: Left morality is always based on Who/Whom and Left morality always states that it's okay to kill, cheat, steal, lie in front of Congress etc, as long as it's in service of "the Revolution".
Now that Social Justice is the official ideology of the global corporate state and the new state religion of the American elite, it's important for everyone to realize that our new leadership class doesn't believe in liberalism or its principles—but they will twist and mouth them if it helps them get their way in the moment.
Like all prior Left takeovers these people cannot be trusted, tamed, or dealt with in good faith. They will have to be removed somehow.
The Frankfurt School adapted Marx’s theories on revolution to include Freud’s theory of the subconscious. The Cultural Marxists’ main focus was to reshape the subconscious of Western men and women and thus create new type of person: one who would react passively to provocations of all kinds.
Cultural Marxists encourage abortion, birth control, divorce, homosexuality, “carrier women,” drugs, miscegenation, the destruction of the traditional family, and unrestricted immigration of racial foreigners into white countries. This is a reflection of what the Cultural Marxists preach: white reproduction is evil, and that which prevents white reproduction is good.
"Social Justice is the phoenix that arose from the ashes of Marxism"
Cute, but silly. You make no connection between Marx and the wild 'social justice' and identitarian movements.
You say, //Left morality is always based on Who/Whom and Left morality always states that it's okay to kill, cheat, steal, lie in front of Congress etc, as long as it's in service of "the Revolution".// Again, a formulaic assertion with no evidence behind it. It amounts essentially to "We [not clearly identified] have the objective morality and the 'left' [unspecified] are dangerous unscrupulous relativists."
You are correct that major capitalist enterprises have proclaimed seemingly 'woke' policies-- e.g. minority hires like Ms Gay. You seem to assume that this is a case of something other than the leopard attempting to change his spots.
The phrase 'left wing infantilism' has a long history: its import is that many ostensibly and self-proclaimed radicals (e.g. the bomb throwers of the early 20th century) were not, in fact, 'left' at all. The effects of these self-styled radicals were in fact counter to the left, and strengthening the right. To bring this to the present, the 'woke' policies of General Dynamics or Bank of America have nothing to do with any triumph of leftism. These and other corporations continue to support a 'warfare state'--the 'military industrial complex' that General Eisenhower once, famously, referred to. The brown or tattooed tellers you see at the B of A are simply window dressing.
Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) have every right to say what they like about Israel and the genocide of Palestinians as elected members of the US House of Representatives; they never took an oath to serve Israel . . .
I voted for Ron Desantis (R-FL) to be governor of Florida, not ambassador to Israel.
The recently ousted Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Congressman Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who took at least a dozen votes to get elected speaker, traveled to Israel immediately upon his election, declaring to the Israeli Knesset that the USA is steadfastly committed to supporting Ukraine in their war against Russia . . .
Was he running for speaker of the Israeli Knesset too?
Following his ouster . . . McCarthy (R-CA) traveled abroad again, this time to England, and expressed his open contempt for the white Republicans who make up the majority of the GOP and praised Democrats for their diversity during a debate at Oxford in the wake of his ouster as House Speaker . . .
Is he now running for the Prime Minister of the U.K.?
Nevertheless, he is free to go on media tours bashing white people and lobbying for Israel, because he has now resigned from the US House of Representatives . . . I can only conclude that the collective RINO butthurt over former Speaker McCarthy is all about the Israelis who have hijacked the American deep state war machine.
It has become so painfully obvious, especially where you have someone like Nikki Haley wagging her finger and shouting down Vivek Ramaswamy in a presidential debate on live national television when the questions of this Ukrainian war against Russia and any mention of Israel are concerned, that the United States government has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the American Israeli Political Action Committee.
Conservatism-destroying America as the nation of individual rights is the price of destroying Leftism. Both Left and Right are products of the unfocused mind.
Fuck you and your Jewish god . . . Jewish messianism has been spreading its poisonous message among us for nearly two thousand years. Democratic and communist universalisms are more recent, but they have only strengthened the old Jewish narrative. These are the same ideals . . .
The transnational, transracial, transcultural ideals that these ideologies preach to us (beyond peoples, races, cultures) and are the sustenance of our schools, in our media, in our pop culture, at our universities and on our streets, have reduced our biosymbolic identity and ethnic pride to their minimal expression.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam are death cults that originated in the Middle East and are completely alien to Europe and its peoples.
Sometimes one wonders why the European left gets along so well with Muslims. Why does an often openly anti-religious movement side with a fierce religiosity that seems to oppose almost everything the left always claims to stand for? Part of the explanation lies in the fact that Islam and Marxism share a common ideological root: Judaism.

I do not agree. I think that some of the Leftists of old were excellent persons and that they made a real contribution. You should do that well in this era, then you may criticize others. I never thought "Critical Theory" or consciousness was a thing to look down at. A lot of persons used to talk like that. Would you prefer Trump, then? Or Cheney? Or Bush?

I am proud of the history of white christian people. We were the first to sail around the world and the first to fly to the moon. Only whites died to stop the enslavement of blacks around the world, the blacks who enslaved each other long before whites showed up.
We have also died to protect the long-suffering Jews.
We are not perfect. We are just the ones who once developed the greatest civilization in history, the civilization a new bread of intolerant, foolish, evil bigots want to destroy.
It is not wrong in anyway for whites to defend our history or ourselves from the hatred whites are facing around the world, including defending ourselves from the suicidal self-loathing of white elites.
Neither political party discusses what really worries most white people. We are worried about the destruction of our small towns and businesses, the endless stream of illegal foreigners rushing across our borders, the feminization of young men, the pornification of our culture, the epidemic of drug use and suicide, show trials, rigged elections, the corruption of educational institutions, the grooming of our children, the naked graft of our political elites, the suppression of free speech and the loss of our right to peaceably assemble and our right of free association.
In what the late Saddam Hussein once dubbed “the great Satan,” roughly two-thirds of the United States enlisted military corps is white . . . The fat, bulbous U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin once confirmed in a 93-2 vote of the U.S. Senate, immediately embarked on a whirlwind media tour of duty, telling the pseudo-secular sycophants in the state-controlled tabloid press and state-controlled television talk show circuit about how the U.S. Army is full of bad racist white men.
Senior Defense Department leaders celebrating yet another Pride Month at the Pentagon sounding the alarm about the rising number of state laws they say target the LGBTQ+ community, warned the trend is hurting the feelings of the armed forces . . . “LGBTQ plus and other diverse communities are under attack, just because they are different. Hate for hate’s sake,” said Gil Cisneros, the Pentagon’s undersecretary for personnel and readiness, who also serves as DoD’s chief diversity and inclusion officer.
And now the U.S. Army is doing ads begging for more young white males? What happened?
Even with a full-on declaration of war from Congress, and even if Gavin Newsome could be cheated into the Oval Office by ZOG somehow, with Globohomo diversity brigades going door-to-door looking to impress American children into military service, they will be met with armed, well-trained opposition, the invasion at the Southern border is going full tilt, and the drugs are flowing in like never before.
Get ready for it . . . the fat old devil worshipping fags on Capitol Hill, on Wall Street, in Whitehall, and in Brussels are in no shape to fight a war themselves, and most Americans are armed to the teeth with their own guns . . . NATO hates heterosexual white men . . . they said so themselves . . .
Well at least you are honestly giving your views, and that is the basis of a democracy. When the U. S. ceases all pretense of democracy/equality --- ? Well, at that point I will go hide in a cabin somewhere. Until then, I intend to be part of the discussion. I guess you are right that the Jews are not the only ones who have suffered in the world. That was a new idea for me but sure, that makes sense. Everyone, of course also animals, feels the same suffering. And doesn't this happen to everyone. The same tragedy every time. It is a good thing to stop that from happening, wherever one may do so. (I love your list of "wrongs," these things should not worry just "white people." It should be of concern to anybody!)

So, Brad. I never cease to be amazed by your revelations about your own journey in pursuit of Truth. I was 20 years ahead of you but took a different path, living a life in the trenches rather than of the mind, which I now sometimes regret. We have ended up in pretty much the same place. You are so much better at talking about it than I am, which is somewhat disappointing at an age when about all I can do is talk. A few years ago my undergraduate Alma Mater Vanderbilt University (BA Philosophy 1967) reached out with an invitation to attend the demolition of the Carmichael Tower, its first high rise dormitory, finished my senior year, which was to be replaced by some even grander undergraduate digs. I was among the first residents, which, I supposed, accounted for the invitation. Having attended to the deterioration of a once fine university with dismay through the years, I replied that I would be pleased to attend...provided the Chancellor were chained to a chair on the roof and I got to push the button. I never heard back and watched it live on local TV. Oddly satisfying nonetheless.
We know what has transpired. You describe it well. What is little discussed is why we have arrived at this point in time. What is the source of this intellectual bankruptcy? Do we dare say that the Cartesian premise of the modern age, cogito ergo sum, is ultimately the point of turning to this new Dark Age? Are we truly creators of ourselves? I appreciate Harry Frankfort and Charles Taylor’s individual contributions to an understanding of human will and agency. They both speak of a second order of human agency where we have the capacity to make evaluative judgments. However, in order to make decisions like that we need to see that there is some transcendent universal truth that reflects back to us whether our thoughts are clear and sensible. Truth of this sort is not a commodity. It cannot be contained ideologically or programmatically. It must be embraced as a way to discover who we are and how we fit in a world far beyond our capacity to know completely.
Pardonne mon français . . . Je suis obligé d'écrire dans plusieurs langues parce que: 1. La plupart des gens aux États-Unis ont subi un lavage de cerveau leur faisant croire que les Juifs sont leur salut; et 2., leur anglais est de la merde et ils ne peuvent pas rester silencieux assez longtemps pour entendre ou voir ce qui se passe évidemment autour d'eux . . .
Le judéo-messianisme répand parmi nous son message empoisonné depuis près de deux mille ans. Les universalismes démocratique et communiste sont plus récents, mais ils n’ont fait que renforcer le vieux récit juif. Ce sont les mêmes idéaux.
Les idéaux transnationaux, transraciaux, transsexuels, transculturels que ces idéologies nous prêchent (au-delà des peuples, des races, des cultures) et qui sont le subsistance quotidienne de nos écoles, dans nos médias, dans notre culture populaire, à nos universités, et sur nos rues, ont fini par réduire notre identité biosymbolique et notre fierté ethnique à leur expression minimale.
Le judaïsme, le christianisme, et l’islam sont des cultes de mort originaires du Moyen-Orient et totalement étrangers à l’Europe et à ses peuples.
On se demande parfois pourquoi la gauche européenne s’entend si bien avec les musulmans. Pourquoi un mouvement souvent ouvertement antireligieux prend-il le parti d’une religiosité farouche qui semble s’opposer à presque tout ce que la gauche a toujours prétendu défendre ? Une partie de l’explication réside dans le fait que l’Islam et le marxisme ont une racine idéologique commune: le judaïsme.
Don Rumsfeld avait raison lorsqu’il disait: «L’Europe s’est décalé sur son axe», c’est le mauvais côté qui a gagné la Seconde Guerre mondiale, et cela devient chaque jour plus clair . . . Qu’a fait l’OTAN pour défendre l’Europe? Absolument rien . . . Mes ennemis ne sont pas à Moscou, à Damas, à Téhéran, à Riyad ou dans quelque croque-mitaine teutonique éthéré, mes ennemis sont à Washington, Bruxelles et Tel Aviv.
Both subjectivism and mysticism are products of the unfocused mind. Only the focused mind produces objective knowledge. And existence, not consciousness, is metaphysically primary. Consciousness is metaphysically passive.
Ilhan Omar (D-MN) i Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) tenen tot el dret a dir el que vulguin sobre Israel i el genocidi dels palestins com a membres electes de la Cambra de Representants dels EUA; mai van jurar servir Israel . . . Vaig votar perquè Ron Desantis (R-FL) fos governador de Florida, no ambaixador a Israel.
El recentment destituït president de la Cambra de Representants dels Estats Units, el congressista Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), que va requerir almenys una dotzena de vots de la Cambra per ser elegit president, va visitar Israel immediatament després de la seva elecció, dient a la Knesset israeliana que els Estats Units estan fermament compromesos per donar suport a Ucraïna en la seva guerra contra Rússia.
També era candidat a president de la Knesset israeliana?
Després de la seva expulsió . . . McCarthy (R-CA) va tornar a viatjar a l'estranger, aquesta vegada a Anglaterra, i va expressar un obert menyspreu pels republicans blancs que formen la majoria del GOP i va elogiar els demòcrates per la seva diversitat durant un debat a Oxford després de la seva expulsió. Ara és candidat a primer ministre del Regne Unit?
Malgrat tot, és lliure d'anar a visites mediàtiques atacant els blancs i fent pressió per Israel, ja que ara ha dimitit de la Cambra de Representants dels Estats Units . . . Només puc concloure que la ira col·lectiva de RINO contra l'expresident McCarthy es tracta dels israelians que van segrestar la màquina de guerra de l'estat profund nord-americà.
Això s'ha fet tan dolorosament obvi, sobretot quan algú com Nikki Haley ones el dit i li crida per sobre a Vivek Ramaswamy durant un debat presidencial a la televisió nacional en directe quan les preguntes sobre aquesta guerra d'Ucraïna contra Rússia i qualsevol menció d'Israel estan preocupades pel fet que el govern dels Estats Units ha esdevingut una subsidiària de propietat total del Comitè d'Acció Política Americano-Israelí.

The current age has many fathers. The destruction of white civilization started with the French revolution. Progressive grew the percent of GPD that flowed to government bureaucracy, slowly taxing us with inflationary spending. We created great classes of dependence and taught women, blacks and hispanics to resent whites.
Heinrich Himmler on How Bolshevik Christianity Spreads Homosexuality and Hatred of Women . . .
❝150 years ago someone at a Catholic university wrote a doctoral thesis with the title: “Does a woman have a soul?” From this the whole tendency of Christianity emerges: it is directed at the absolute destruction of women and at emphasizing the inferiority of women. The entire substance of the priesthood and of the whole of Christianity is, I am firmly convinced, an erotic union of men (Männerbund) for the erection and maintenance of this 2,000-year old Bolshevism.❞
To understand reality, you have to look inside. You’ll find that there is no stability, no substance, just sensations arising and passing away with great rapidity; nothing to cling too, no “I, me, mine.” We normally react to these sensations as good, bad or neutral, which intensifies to craving and aversion. This creates what the Buddha called sankharas, mental conditionings. When you observe without reaction – using the non-sectarian technique of Vipassana meditation – you cease creating new sankharas, and gradually free yourself from the old ones.

I stopped supporting my alma mater, the Colorado School of Mines, decades ago even though it was a wonderful institution when I went there and was instrumental in teaching me how to think. It is far from the left-wing cesspool the Ivy League has become, but is as enthralled with the environmental nonsense permeating the culture as just about everyone is these days. Except for very, very few outposts academia is a destroyer that not only should no longer be supported, but should be shunned and vilified for the pariah it is.
In a letter from the December 12 print issue of the Wall Street Journal, Jerry Kaye of Corrales, NM, wrote: "I'm inclined to conclude that we might stop referring to colleges as 'higher education'." I'm inclined to agree with My. Kaye.

What an engaging article! I'm a Harvard graduate - MBA 1978. I entered in 1976, fresh out of a five-year tour as an Air Force pilot, knowing nothing about business, finance, or accounting. I loved every minute of my HBS experience: I had to work 16 hours a day and felt like I was drinking from a firehose, but I learned a great deal by pure perseverance and learning in reverse. In my section of 80 students, I was one of exactly two avowed capitalists. The arguments in the "soft" classes on politics and organizational psychology were epic, sometimes bitter, and always exhilarating. I have no idea why they ever admitted me in the first place! During non-school hours, I mainly hung out with guys from across the Charles River at MIT. As the years passed after graduation, and I saw what Harvard stood for as an institution, I became thoroughly disenchanted. I think the last straw was when it was revealed that Harvard was discriminating against Asian students precisely because they were so well qualified. I had thought they let me in because I was capable, but how could that be true? Maybe they wanted a capitalist freak for diversity's sake. I told all my children that if they applied to Harvard, they'd be on their own and that I could not in good conscience pay their tuition. In my own small way, I boycotted Harvard long before Bill Ackman. My wife says I was ahead of the curve. ;)
“An impartial investigation of the last war, of what preceded it and what has come out of it, would show beyond a doubt that there is in the world a group of men with vast powers of control, that prefers to remain unknown, that does not seek office or any of the tokens of power, that belongs to no nation whatever but is international—a force that uses every government, every widespread business organization, every agency of publicity, every resource of national psychology, to throw the world into a panic for the sake of getting still more power over the world.” ― Henry Ford

Hi. Would you say the richer the school (or the higher in status it is), the more it turned to a quasi-Left position? I studied "Economics" at a smaller university, and had American capitalists as well as other viewpoints. The American capitalists were morons.
I would answer with a weak yes . Smaller, less wealthy schools may preserve traditional teaching to some degree. But I'm unsure how one would judge the objective truth on that question.
[26] The fairies are not to be seized on, and brought to answer for the hurt they do. So also the ecclesiastics vanish away from the tribunals of civil justice.
[27] The ecclesiastics take from young men the use of reason, by certain charms compounded of metaphysics, and miracles, and traditions, and abused Scripture, whereby they are good for nothing else but to execute what they command them. The fairies likewise are said to take young children out of their cradles, and to change them into natural fools, which common people do therefore call elves, and are apt to mischief.
[28] In what shop or operatory the fairies make their enchantment, the old wives have not determined. But the operatories of the clergy are well enough known to be the universities, that received their discipline from authority pontifical.
[29] When the fairies are displeased with anybody, they are said to send their elves to pinch them. The ecclesiastics, when they are displeased with any civil state, make also their elves, that is, superstitious, enchanted subjects, to pinch their princes, by preaching sedition; or one prince, enchanted with promises, to pinch another.
[30] The fairies marry not; but there be amongst them incubi that have copulation with flesh and blood. The priests also marry not.

As for "pure perseverance," that never worked for me. I am Autistic and my mind just will not do certain things. I am good at some things and bad at others. Business is my weak spot and I do not seem to do well at it. Thank you for the precise response. I was just wondering about it. I think about those bygone days and wonder what it is we lost. Whatever it was there was a general consensus we had about the world. I thought the "top" universities must be better, in those days. I guess this was a bit overblown and idealistic on my part, however.
Actually, in Argentina I think autistic persons like me would be crushed. It is like a death sentence for me. The "Apoya" stuff was funny though. (I thought I would this comment here so as not to clutter up the other page.)
What a contrast between the genuinely nice coming of age story of a young promising academic making his way in contrast to the corrupt machinations and political reality of modern academia.
If Harvard wants to destroy its reputation and brand, I say let it go. It's been toxic for a good long while, along with a lot of other preeminent over-rated institutions.
Our ruling class is decadent and cynical. They don't believe in the deconstruction of America by Neo-Marxists as a social good. They believe they can use it to their advantage and to consolidate power. Just as the wealthy and privileged pseudo-Jacobins at Harvard and elsewhere lecture us about social justice and that immutable physical identity and perceived social trauma are the defining aspects of ones role in society, I would reply that there is no such thing as an organic revolution led by the most monied, most powerful people in America. It's a synthetic and hollow rebellion, based on artificial premises, ulterior motives and with no clear path to anything better. The answer is supposed to be what - something that emerges magically from the ether, once the power structure is dismantled?What a bunch of dangerous, demonstrably false and poorly aged hogwash. The Left uses you and then spits you out. They've done it to women, to Jews, to the working class, to any dissident voice within the ranks, here and everywhere else where they got a toe hold. They have no loyalty to anything but power. The whole experience and painfully incremental learning of thousands of years of human civilization are just to be washed away and replaced by whatever currently infatuates the chattering class. The arrogance and cynicism are spectacular. Intellectual capital will survive where its treated best. New institutions with better value propositions will ultimately replace the sclerotic, corrupt incumbents.
I am so fortunate to have had you as a professor in my final year at Clemson! Your insight and wisdom, not just about the subject of your class, but also about the world in general, will stay with me forever. I hope you know that you inspire your students just as much as all of the great professors you speak about above. I have never been so proud to not be an “Ivy League” student. Thank you for everything!
No! You are going to mislead people into pronouncing the "g", which you do must NOT do! Truth is more elusive than we think it is. You know very well, don't you ----? One must not pronounce that letter! So this proves that "truth" is not always what it seems to be. The misspelling was perfectly right in its place. "Truth" is more difficult to find than we want to believe and, yes it is often mystical and mysterious. Nothing wrong there at all, but that is just my opinion I suppose. Writing is limited; thought itself is limited.
Astronomical piece in these trying times. Synonymous with The Canceling of the American Mind by Greg Lukianoff and Rikki Shlott. Thanks for sharing your story.
Great article Brad. I'm currently a Junior at the College and can certainly testify to a lot of what you wrote about. It's quite a shame that it has reached this point. I believe that many students, myself included, wish that Harvard would get out of the culture wars and focus on their jobs as educators. Their ideological warfare has gotten to the point where job opportunities are being actively withheld. I hope that donors, alumni, and faculty can continue to push back and advocate for a sensible administration. Thank you for your work in that effort.
Thanks, Luke. I appreciate your response. And good luck! Never thought I'd have to say that to a Harvard student (i.e., relative to job prospects), but you may need it!
Read your bit about Harvard. Not many schools are the same. GenZ has had some big effect on traditional institutions of higher learning. The main effect on Harvard may be 'woke benefactors' who will bitch and hold off funding for a year or so. Students love this contrarian stuff. Profs don't give a s-t. Harvard is only an example for elite professors, physicians who want to teach and some lawyers.
I studied history as an undergraduate not at an Ivy but at SUNY Albany graduation 1984-88. I loved every class I took and actually took more than needed for the major. My professors were all great teachers and scholars who resemble you and the professor described here (With the exception of one who was a Marxist but who STILL ran a classroom of free and open inquiry). I am sickened by what has become of higher education.
You are of course correct that there is much that is wrong at Harvard (and other elite American universities). I am certainly concerned about a corrupt and incompetent administration, careerism among students, an absurd admissions system, and lax grading standards.
I don't agree, however, that Harvard is entirely "gone" or "must be destroyed". I graduated from Harvard College last year as a STEM major who took many classes in the social sciences and humanities. Harvard is still a place of great intellectual value. There are still some true scholars, some conservative even, on the faculty — not as many as there should be, but enough for a motivated student to benefit from greatly. I met lifelong friends who are deep thinkers with wide intellectual interests and am truly grateful for that. If we give up on our nation's universities, where will this happen?
I don't want to give up. What I do want is to get ALL government funding out of the university system in this country. That would be direct support (Federal and State), student loans and research grants. They can keep their endowments and nonprofit status but would have to offer something that people see value in. Right now they don't. Harvard was founded on that model. Let it go back to it.
Social Justice is the phoenix that arose from the ashes of Marxism, which crashed catastrophically everywhere it was tried but was given a safe space to recover (and rebrand) in the Humanities departments of American academia. Out went yesterday's sacred protagonists of the Permanent Revolution, the proletariat—by the 60s at latest it was obvious to all the Left gurus that working people scoffed at them and would not exchange their countries, families and faith for the stale wafer called "Critical Consciousness"—so they were swapped out for the Wretched of the Earth who then became today's "marginalized".
I only raise this in the hope of providing some clarity to the discussion: Left morality is always based on Who/Whom and Left morality always states that it's okay to kill, cheat, steal, lie in front of Congress etc, as long as it's in service of "the Revolution".
Now that Social Justice is the official ideology of the global corporate state and the new state religion of the American elite, it's important for everyone to realize that our new leadership class doesn't believe in liberalism or its principles—but they will twist and mouth them if it helps them get their way in the moment.
Like all prior Left takeovers these people cannot be trusted, tamed, or dealt with in good faith. They will have to be removed somehow.
Excellent analysis! Well done.
The Frankfurt School adapted Marx’s theories on revolution to include Freud’s theory of the subconscious. The Cultural Marxists’ main focus was to reshape the subconscious of Western men and women and thus create new type of person: one who would react passively to provocations of all kinds.
Cultural Marxists encourage abortion, birth control, divorce, homosexuality, “carrier women,” drugs, miscegenation, the destruction of the traditional family, and unrestricted immigration of racial foreigners into white countries. This is a reflection of what the Cultural Marxists preach: white reproduction is evil, and that which prevents white reproduction is good.

Loved this. Pithy and succinct.
Thanks, Karen.
To Clever Pseudonym: You said,
"Social Justice is the phoenix that arose from the ashes of Marxism"
Cute, but silly. You make no connection between Marx and the wild 'social justice' and identitarian movements.
You say, //Left morality is always based on Who/Whom and Left morality always states that it's okay to kill, cheat, steal, lie in front of Congress etc, as long as it's in service of "the Revolution".// Again, a formulaic assertion with no evidence behind it. It amounts essentially to "We [not clearly identified] have the objective morality and the 'left' [unspecified] are dangerous unscrupulous relativists."
You are correct that major capitalist enterprises have proclaimed seemingly 'woke' policies-- e.g. minority hires like Ms Gay. You seem to assume that this is a case of something other than the leopard attempting to change his spots.
The phrase 'left wing infantilism' has a long history: its import is that many ostensibly and self-proclaimed radicals (e.g. the bomb throwers of the early 20th century) were not, in fact, 'left' at all. The effects of these self-styled radicals were in fact counter to the left, and strengthening the right. To bring this to the present, the 'woke' policies of General Dynamics or Bank of America have nothing to do with any triumph of leftism. These and other corporations continue to support a 'warfare state'--the 'military industrial complex' that General Eisenhower once, famously, referred to. The brown or tattooed tellers you see at the B of A are simply window dressing.
Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) have every right to say what they like about Israel and the genocide of Palestinians as elected members of the US House of Representatives; they never took an oath to serve Israel . . .
I voted for Ron Desantis (R-FL) to be governor of Florida, not ambassador to Israel.
The recently ousted Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Congressman Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who took at least a dozen votes to get elected speaker, traveled to Israel immediately upon his election, declaring to the Israeli Knesset that the USA is steadfastly committed to supporting Ukraine in their war against Russia . . .
Was he running for speaker of the Israeli Knesset too?
Following his ouster . . . McCarthy (R-CA) traveled abroad again, this time to England, and expressed his open contempt for the white Republicans who make up the majority of the GOP and praised Democrats for their diversity during a debate at Oxford in the wake of his ouster as House Speaker . . .
Is he now running for the Prime Minister of the U.K.?
Nevertheless, he is free to go on media tours bashing white people and lobbying for Israel, because he has now resigned from the US House of Representatives . . . I can only conclude that the collective RINO butthurt over former Speaker McCarthy is all about the Israelis who have hijacked the American deep state war machine.
It has become so painfully obvious, especially where you have someone like Nikki Haley wagging her finger and shouting down Vivek Ramaswamy in a presidential debate on live national television when the questions of this Ukrainian war against Russia and any mention of Israel are concerned, that the United States government has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the American Israeli Political Action Committee.

Conservatism-destroying America as the nation of individual rights is the price of destroying Leftism. Both Left and Right are products of the unfocused mind.
Fuck you and your Jewish god . . . Jewish messianism has been spreading its poisonous message among us for nearly two thousand years. Democratic and communist universalisms are more recent, but they have only strengthened the old Jewish narrative. These are the same ideals . . .
The transnational, transracial, transcultural ideals that these ideologies preach to us (beyond peoples, races, cultures) and are the sustenance of our schools, in our media, in our pop culture, at our universities and on our streets, have reduced our biosymbolic identity and ethnic pride to their minimal expression.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam are death cults that originated in the Middle East and are completely alien to Europe and its peoples.
Sometimes one wonders why the European left gets along so well with Muslims. Why does an often openly anti-religious movement side with a fierce religiosity that seems to oppose almost everything the left always claims to stand for? Part of the explanation lies in the fact that Islam and Marxism share a common ideological root: Judaism.
Don Rumsfeld was right to say, "Europe has shifted on its axis," the wrong side has won World War II, and it is becoming clearer by the day . . .
What has NATO done to defend Europe?
Absolutely nothing.
My enemies are not in Moscow, Damascus, Tehran, Riyadh or some ethereal Teutonic bogeyman, but in Washington, Brussels and Tel Aviv.

I don’t hate backs but i refuse to worship them.
I am proud of the history of white christian people. We were the first to sail around the world and the first to fly to the moon. Only whites died to stop the enslavement of blacks around the world, the blacks who enslaved each other long before whites showed up.
We have also died to protect the long-suffering Jews.
We are not perfect. We are just the ones who once developed the greatest civilization in history, the civilization a new bread of intolerant, foolish, evil bigots want to destroy.
It is not wrong in anyway for whites to defend our history or ourselves from the hatred whites are facing around the world, including defending ourselves from the suicidal self-loathing of white elites.
Neither political party discusses what really worries most white people. We are worried about the destruction of our small towns and businesses, the endless stream of illegal foreigners rushing across our borders, the feminization of young men, the pornification of our culture, the epidemic of drug use and suicide, show trials, rigged elections, the corruption of educational institutions, the grooming of our children, the naked graft of our political elites, the suppression of free speech and the loss of our right to peaceably assemble and our right of free association.
In what the late Saddam Hussein once dubbed “the great Satan,” roughly two-thirds of the United States enlisted military corps is white . . . The fat, bulbous U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin once confirmed in a 93-2 vote of the U.S. Senate, immediately embarked on a whirlwind media tour of duty, telling the pseudo-secular sycophants in the state-controlled tabloid press and state-controlled television talk show circuit about how the U.S. Army is full of bad racist white men.
Senior Defense Department leaders celebrating yet another Pride Month at the Pentagon sounding the alarm about the rising number of state laws they say target the LGBTQ+ community, warned the trend is hurting the feelings of the armed forces . . . “LGBTQ plus and other diverse communities are under attack, just because they are different. Hate for hate’s sake,” said Gil Cisneros, the Pentagon’s undersecretary for personnel and readiness, who also serves as DoD’s chief diversity and inclusion officer.
And now the U.S. Army is doing ads begging for more young white males? What happened?
Even with a full-on declaration of war from Congress, and even if Gavin Newsome could be cheated into the Oval Office by ZOG somehow, with Globohomo diversity brigades going door-to-door looking to impress American children into military service, they will be met with armed, well-trained opposition, the invasion at the Southern border is going full tilt, and the drugs are flowing in like never before.
Get ready for it . . . the fat old devil worshipping fags on Capitol Hill, on Wall Street, in Whitehall, and in Brussels are in no shape to fight a war themselves, and most Americans are armed to the teeth with their own guns . . . NATO hates heterosexual white men . . . they said so themselves . . .

Well at least you are honestly giving your views, and that is the basis of a democracy. When the U. S. ceases all pretense of democracy/equality --- ? Well, at that point I will go hide in a cabin somewhere. Until then, I intend to be part of the discussion. I guess you are right that the Jews are not the only ones who have suffered in the world. That was a new idea for me but sure, that makes sense. Everyone, of course also animals, feels the same suffering. And doesn't this happen to everyone. The same tragedy every time. It is a good thing to stop that from happening, wherever one may do so. (I love your list of "wrongs," these things should not worry just "white people." It should be of concern to anybody!)

So, Brad. I never cease to be amazed by your revelations about your own journey in pursuit of Truth. I was 20 years ahead of you but took a different path, living a life in the trenches rather than of the mind, which I now sometimes regret. We have ended up in pretty much the same place. You are so much better at talking about it than I am, which is somewhat disappointing at an age when about all I can do is talk. A few years ago my undergraduate Alma Mater Vanderbilt University (BA Philosophy 1967) reached out with an invitation to attend the demolition of the Carmichael Tower, its first high rise dormitory, finished my senior year, which was to be replaced by some even grander undergraduate digs. I was among the first residents, which, I supposed, accounted for the invitation. Having attended to the deterioration of a once fine university with dismay through the years, I replied that I would be pleased to attend...provided the Chancellor were chained to a chair on the roof and I got to push the button. I never heard back and watched it live on local TV. Oddly satisfying nonetheless.
Hi James: Thanks for your note and kind words. I laughed out loud at your letter to Vanderbilt. Absolutely hilarious.
Oh, no! Vanderbilt too??
We know what has transpired. You describe it well. What is little discussed is why we have arrived at this point in time. What is the source of this intellectual bankruptcy? Do we dare say that the Cartesian premise of the modern age, cogito ergo sum, is ultimately the point of turning to this new Dark Age? Are we truly creators of ourselves? I appreciate Harry Frankfort and Charles Taylor’s individual contributions to an understanding of human will and agency. They both speak of a second order of human agency where we have the capacity to make evaluative judgments. However, in order to make decisions like that we need to see that there is some transcendent universal truth that reflects back to us whether our thoughts are clear and sensible. Truth of this sort is not a commodity. It cannot be contained ideologically or programmatically. It must be embraced as a way to discover who we are and how we fit in a world far beyond our capacity to know completely.
Pardonne mon français . . . Je suis obligé d'écrire dans plusieurs langues parce que: 1. La plupart des gens aux États-Unis ont subi un lavage de cerveau leur faisant croire que les Juifs sont leur salut; et 2., leur anglais est de la merde et ils ne peuvent pas rester silencieux assez longtemps pour entendre ou voir ce qui se passe évidemment autour d'eux . . .
Le judéo-messianisme répand parmi nous son message empoisonné depuis près de deux mille ans. Les universalismes démocratique et communiste sont plus récents, mais ils n’ont fait que renforcer le vieux récit juif. Ce sont les mêmes idéaux.
Les idéaux transnationaux, transraciaux, transsexuels, transculturels que ces idéologies nous prêchent (au-delà des peuples, des races, des cultures) et qui sont le subsistance quotidienne de nos écoles, dans nos médias, dans notre culture populaire, à nos universités, et sur nos rues, ont fini par réduire notre identité biosymbolique et notre fierté ethnique à leur expression minimale.
Le judaïsme, le christianisme, et l’islam sont des cultes de mort originaires du Moyen-Orient et totalement étrangers à l’Europe et à ses peuples.
On se demande parfois pourquoi la gauche européenne s’entend si bien avec les musulmans. Pourquoi un mouvement souvent ouvertement antireligieux prend-il le parti d’une religiosité farouche qui semble s’opposer à presque tout ce que la gauche a toujours prétendu défendre ? Une partie de l’explication réside dans le fait que l’Islam et le marxisme ont une racine idéologique commune: le judaïsme.
Don Rumsfeld avait raison lorsqu’il disait: «L’Europe s’est décalé sur son axe», c’est le mauvais côté qui a gagné la Seconde Guerre mondiale, et cela devient chaque jour plus clair . . . Qu’a fait l’OTAN pour défendre l’Europe? Absolument rien . . . Mes ennemis ne sont pas à Moscou, à Damas, à Téhéran, à Riyad ou dans quelque croque-mitaine teutonique éthéré, mes ennemis sont à Washington, Bruxelles et Tel Aviv.

Both subjectivism and mysticism are products of the unfocused mind. Only the focused mind produces objective knowledge. And existence, not consciousness, is metaphysically primary. Consciousness is metaphysically passive.
Ilhan Omar (D-MN) i Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) tenen tot el dret a dir el que vulguin sobre Israel i el genocidi dels palestins com a membres electes de la Cambra de Representants dels EUA; mai van jurar servir Israel . . . Vaig votar perquè Ron Desantis (R-FL) fos governador de Florida, no ambaixador a Israel.
El recentment destituït president de la Cambra de Representants dels Estats Units, el congressista Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), que va requerir almenys una dotzena de vots de la Cambra per ser elegit president, va visitar Israel immediatament després de la seva elecció, dient a la Knesset israeliana que els Estats Units estan fermament compromesos per donar suport a Ucraïna en la seva guerra contra Rússia.
També era candidat a president de la Knesset israeliana?
Després de la seva expulsió . . . McCarthy (R-CA) va tornar a viatjar a l'estranger, aquesta vegada a Anglaterra, i va expressar un obert menyspreu pels republicans blancs que formen la majoria del GOP i va elogiar els demòcrates per la seva diversitat durant un debat a Oxford després de la seva expulsió. Ara és candidat a primer ministre del Regne Unit?
Malgrat tot, és lliure d'anar a visites mediàtiques atacant els blancs i fent pressió per Israel, ja que ara ha dimitit de la Cambra de Representants dels Estats Units . . . Només puc concloure que la ira col·lectiva de RINO contra l'expresident McCarthy es tracta dels israelians que van segrestar la màquina de guerra de l'estat profund nord-americà.
Això s'ha fet tan dolorosament obvi, sobretot quan algú com Nikki Haley ones el dit i li crida per sobre a Vivek Ramaswamy durant un debat presidencial a la televisió nacional en directe quan les preguntes sobre aquesta guerra d'Ucraïna contra Rússia i qualsevol menció d'Israel estan preocupades pel fet que el govern dels Estats Units ha esdevingut una subsidiària de propietat total del Comitè d'Acció Política Americano-Israelí.

Heinrich Himmler on How Bolshevik Christianity Spreads Homosexuality and Hatred of Women . . .
❝150 years ago someone at a Catholic university wrote a doctoral thesis with the title: “Does a woman have a soul?” From this the whole tendency of Christianity emerges: it is directed at the absolute destruction of women and at emphasizing the inferiority of women. The entire substance of the priesthood and of the whole of Christianity is, I am firmly convinced, an erotic union of men (Männerbund) for the erection and maintenance of this 2,000-year old Bolshevism.❞

To understand reality, you have to look inside. You’ll find that there is no stability, no substance, just sensations arising and passing away with great rapidity; nothing to cling too, no “I, me, mine.” We normally react to these sensations as good, bad or neutral, which intensifies to craving and aversion. This creates what the Buddha called sankharas, mental conditionings. When you observe without reaction – using the non-sectarian technique of Vipassana meditation – you cease creating new sankharas, and gradually free yourself from the old ones.

I stopped supporting my alma mater, the Colorado School of Mines, decades ago even though it was a wonderful institution when I went there and was instrumental in teaching me how to think. It is far from the left-wing cesspool the Ivy League has become, but is as enthralled with the environmental nonsense permeating the culture as just about everyone is these days. Except for very, very few outposts academia is a destroyer that not only should no longer be supported, but should be shunned and vilified for the pariah it is.
I once competed at an indoor track & field meet at the Colorado School of Mines around 1980.

What an engaging article! I'm a Harvard graduate - MBA 1978. I entered in 1976, fresh out of a five-year tour as an Air Force pilot, knowing nothing about business, finance, or accounting. I loved every minute of my HBS experience: I had to work 16 hours a day and felt like I was drinking from a firehose, but I learned a great deal by pure perseverance and learning in reverse. In my section of 80 students, I was one of exactly two avowed capitalists. The arguments in the "soft" classes on politics and organizational psychology were epic, sometimes bitter, and always exhilarating. I have no idea why they ever admitted me in the first place! During non-school hours, I mainly hung out with guys from across the Charles River at MIT. As the years passed after graduation, and I saw what Harvard stood for as an institution, I became thoroughly disenchanted. I think the last straw was when it was revealed that Harvard was discriminating against Asian students precisely because they were so well qualified. I had thought they let me in because I was capable, but how could that be true? Maybe they wanted a capitalist freak for diversity's sake. I told all my children that if they applied to Harvard, they'd be on their own and that I could not in good conscience pay their tuition. In my own small way, I boycotted Harvard long before Bill Ackman. My wife says I was ahead of the curve. ;)
Great story, Jim. Thanks for sharing.

“An impartial investigation of the last war, of what preceded it and what has come out of it, would show beyond a doubt that there is in the world a group of men with vast powers of control, that prefers to remain unknown, that does not seek office or any of the tokens of power, that belongs to no nation whatever but is international—a force that uses every government, every widespread business organization, every agency of publicity, every resource of national psychology, to throw the world into a panic for the sake of getting still more power over the world.” ― Henry Ford

“For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day.

The Frankfurt School adapted Marx’s theories on revolution to include Freud’s theory of the subconscious. The Cultural Marxists’ main focus was to reshape the subconscious of Western men and women and thus create new type of person: one who would react passively to provocations of all kinds.
Cultural Marxists encourage abortion, birth control, divorce, homosexuality, “carrier women,” drugs, miscegenation, the destruction of the traditional family, and unrestricted immigration of racial foreigners into white countries. This is a reflection of what the Cultural Marxists preach: white reproduction is evil, and that which prevents white reproduction is good.

Hi. Would you say the richer the school (or the higher in status it is), the more it turned to a quasi-Left position? I studied "Economics" at a smaller university, and had American capitalists as well as other viewpoints. The American capitalists were morons.
I would answer with a weak yes . Smaller, less wealthy schools may preserve traditional teaching to some degree. But I'm unsure how one would judge the objective truth on that question.
[26] The fairies are not to be seized on, and brought to answer for the hurt they do. So also the ecclesiastics vanish away from the tribunals of civil justice.
[27] The ecclesiastics take from young men the use of reason, by certain charms compounded of metaphysics, and miracles, and traditions, and abused Scripture, whereby they are good for nothing else but to execute what they command them. The fairies likewise are said to take young children out of their cradles, and to change them into natural fools, which common people do therefore call elves, and are apt to mischief.
[28] In what shop or operatory the fairies make their enchantment, the old wives have not determined. But the operatories of the clergy are well enough known to be the universities, that received their discipline from authority pontifical.
[29] When the fairies are displeased with anybody, they are said to send their elves to pinch them. The ecclesiastics, when they are displeased with any civil state, make also their elves, that is, superstitious, enchanted subjects, to pinch their princes, by preaching sedition; or one prince, enchanted with promises, to pinch another.

> The ecclesiastics take from young men the use of reason
Conservatism is radical hatred of reason. Conservatives hate the freedom of mans mind. They want automatic motives and knowledge from god and race. They hate self-responsibility. They hate being human. They hate the risk of knowledge. They hate life.
Heinrich Himmler on How Bolshevik Christianity Spreads Homosexuality and Hatred of Women . . .
❝150 years ago someone at a Catholic university wrote a doctoral thesis with the title: “Does a woman have a soul?” From this the whole tendency of Christianity emerges: it is directed at the absolute destruction of women and at emphasizing the inferiority of women. The entire substance of the priesthood and of the whole of Christianity is, I am firmly convinced, an erotic union of men (Männerbund) for the erection and maintenance of this 2,000-year old Bolshevism.❞

As for "pure perseverance," that never worked for me. I am Autistic and my mind just will not do certain things. I am good at some things and bad at others. Business is my weak spot and I do not seem to do well at it. Thank you for the precise response. I was just wondering about it. I think about those bygone days and wonder what it is we lost. Whatever it was there was a general consensus we had about the world. I thought the "top" universities must be better, in those days. I guess this was a bit overblown and idealistic on my part, however.
I really "must" check out your newsletter, as you seem the opposite type of person from what I am!
Actually, in Argentina I think autistic persons like me would be crushed. It is like a death sentence for me. The "Apoya" stuff was funny though. (I thought I would this comment here so as not to clutter up the other page.)
Avtually.... "Freewheelin'" is a name for an early Dylan album, not a type of economic system.
What a contrast between the genuinely nice coming of age story of a young promising academic making his way in contrast to the corrupt machinations and political reality of modern academia.
If Harvard wants to destroy its reputation and brand, I say let it go. It's been toxic for a good long while, along with a lot of other preeminent over-rated institutions.
Our ruling class is decadent and cynical. They don't believe in the deconstruction of America by Neo-Marxists as a social good. They believe they can use it to their advantage and to consolidate power. Just as the wealthy and privileged pseudo-Jacobins at Harvard and elsewhere lecture us about social justice and that immutable physical identity and perceived social trauma are the defining aspects of ones role in society, I would reply that there is no such thing as an organic revolution led by the most monied, most powerful people in America. It's a synthetic and hollow rebellion, based on artificial premises, ulterior motives and with no clear path to anything better. The answer is supposed to be what - something that emerges magically from the ether, once the power structure is dismantled?What a bunch of dangerous, demonstrably false and poorly aged hogwash. The Left uses you and then spits you out. They've done it to women, to Jews, to the working class, to any dissident voice within the ranks, here and everywhere else where they got a toe hold. They have no loyalty to anything but power. The whole experience and painfully incremental learning of thousands of years of human civilization are just to be washed away and replaced by whatever currently infatuates the chattering class. The arrogance and cynicism are spectacular. Intellectual capital will survive where its treated best. New institutions with better value propositions will ultimately replace the sclerotic, corrupt incumbents.
Prof. Thompson!
I am so fortunate to have had you as a professor in my final year at Clemson! Your insight and wisdom, not just about the subject of your class, but also about the world in general, will stay with me forever. I hope you know that you inspire your students just as much as all of the great professors you speak about above. I have never been so proud to not be an “Ivy League” student. Thank you for everything!
Thank you, Blake. I can't tell you how much that means to me.
Sorry, small correction: Camille "Paglia"
You are absolutely right. Thanks.
No! You are going to mislead people into pronouncing the "g", which you do must NOT do! Truth is more elusive than we think it is. You know very well, don't you ----? One must not pronounce that letter! So this proves that "truth" is not always what it seems to be. The misspelling was perfectly right in its place. "Truth" is more difficult to find than we want to believe and, yes it is often mystical and mysterious. Nothing wrong there at all, but that is just my opinion I suppose. Writing is limited; thought itself is limited.
> thought itself is limited.
...to reality.
Astronomical piece in these trying times. Synonymous with The Canceling of the American Mind by Greg Lukianoff and Rikki Shlott. Thanks for sharing your story.
Many thanks, Matthieu, for your kind words. Much appreciated.
Great article Brad. I'm currently a Junior at the College and can certainly testify to a lot of what you wrote about. It's quite a shame that it has reached this point. I believe that many students, myself included, wish that Harvard would get out of the culture wars and focus on their jobs as educators. Their ideological warfare has gotten to the point where job opportunities are being actively withheld. I hope that donors, alumni, and faculty can continue to push back and advocate for a sensible administration. Thank you for your work in that effort.
Thanks, Luke. I appreciate your response. And good luck! Never thought I'd have to say that to a Harvard student (i.e., relative to job prospects), but you may need it!
I am blown away by your experiences at Harvard and beyond jealous of your connection to Bernard Bailyn, whose work I only discovered a few years ago.
Bravo! I’m printing the reading list and digging back in.
definitely print that list.
Read your bit about Harvard. Not many schools are the same. GenZ has had some big effect on traditional institutions of higher learning. The main effect on Harvard may be 'woke benefactors' who will bitch and hold off funding for a year or so. Students love this contrarian stuff. Profs don't give a s-t. Harvard is only an example for elite professors, physicians who want to teach and some lawyers.
I studied history as an undergraduate not at an Ivy but at SUNY Albany graduation 1984-88. I loved every class I took and actually took more than needed for the major. My professors were all great teachers and scholars who resemble you and the professor described here (With the exception of one who was a Marxist but who STILL ran a classroom of free and open inquiry). I am sickened by what has become of higher education.
You are of course correct that there is much that is wrong at Harvard (and other elite American universities). I am certainly concerned about a corrupt and incompetent administration, careerism among students, an absurd admissions system, and lax grading standards.
I don't agree, however, that Harvard is entirely "gone" or "must be destroyed". I graduated from Harvard College last year as a STEM major who took many classes in the social sciences and humanities. Harvard is still a place of great intellectual value. There are still some true scholars, some conservative even, on the faculty — not as many as there should be, but enough for a motivated student to benefit from greatly. I met lifelong friends who are deep thinkers with wide intellectual interests and am truly grateful for that. If we give up on our nation's universities, where will this happen?
I don't want to give up. What I do want is to get ALL government funding out of the university system in this country. That would be direct support (Federal and State), student loans and research grants. They can keep their endowments and nonprofit status but would have to offer something that people see value in. Right now they don't. Harvard was founded on that model. Let it go back to it.
