"the benign despotism of our new Tech Overlords."--NoSuch

That might not last much longer if you have kept up with the latest from Biden and gen. Smilley...

Pogroms against Trump supporters could be on the way. Perhaps "Re-Education camps ala 'The Great Leap Forward'?

"woke Neo-fascism" -- Woke Neo-Marxism ,, both fit the bill.

Re-education camps have received a bad press. But we became overly complacent that the American Education System would always limit the number of people who could read, thus protecting them from dangerous foreign ideas. But now, people can simply click on a video from Russia that promotes disrespect towards our illustrious leaders. Re-education camps may be the only anti-dote.

You may be a wild boar, yet you are a bore for sure. Until recently, Amerika had a decent educational system with good teachers. Before they WOKE up, there were honest efforts made to teach children. However, since it became impossible to correct, to restrain, to discipline, or toss out the disruptive children, teachers seems to have resigned themselves to simply putting in their time and hoping for a juicy retirement package. Poor parenting and bad decisions have left many young people ill-prepared for life in a civilized society.

It's a good thing they don't live in a civilized society.

It's a shame that videos do not use their own alphabets like the books do. And those sneaky Russians and Chinese are increasingly succeeding in producing dumb enough videos to keep exceptional populace attempting to elect trumps.

That's right. The exceptional populace is to blame.

What an ass.

For decades it's been cheaper to import fully educated experts than educating the natives. Natives were usually in charge of keeping their tradition alive, you know like dancing, singing, smoking etc. So historically, what went around comes around.

It's also safer to maintain order for the rulers. The imported ones stay quiet keeping their H1Bs in safes in case of fire, and the dumbed down locals are busy with what you've described. The rulers win.

Certain statistics further make clear that universities, all of which receive considerable taxpayer money, including from the federal government, are not only overtly ideological projects but are also unmistakably hostile to conservative (or even simply non-left-wing) viewpoints. A 2020 study by The Harvard Crimson determined that only 1.46% of the faculty self-identified as conservative, with faculty campaign contributions also flowing overwhelmingly to Democrats. Students on campuses across the country are self-censoring; free speech at universities is consistently evaporating; and speakers who even remotely challenge prized left-wing orthodoxies are shouted down or barred from speaking.
