Universities Want Your Kid Hooked on Marxism - and It’s Not Hard to Do

Have you ever wondered how a perfectly normal kid can walk into a university campus and just months later, walk out with a septum piercing, bad tattoos, and a haircut that looks like they got into a fight with a weed whacker before falling directly into a vat of hair dye? 

I'd like to tell you the brainwashing these higher education institutions do is sophisticated, but it's not. In fact, it's pretty simple, and it works best on the ignorant, which means children are the most susceptible to it. 

My colleague Mike Miller actually wrote an article on Thursday describing one of the ways they do it: 

Alongside the traditional academic essentials, students get the opportunity to study “Difference, Power and Oppression Foundations” and “Difference, Power and Oppression Advanced”— because nothing quite says "higher education" like making oppression a two-course mandatory "learning" (indoctrination) requirement.

The description of the advanced courses explains the reasoning for the requirement:

The inequitable distribution of social, economic, and political power in the United States and globally is sustained through systems of oppression, which represent a variety of discriminatory institutional beliefs and practices. These beliefs and practices obscure the origins and operations of systemic oppression in daily life, such that this inequitable power distribution is assumed to be the natural order.

Miller capped the article with, "Call me a right-wing whack job, but all of the above sounds a tad bit Marxism-ish to me."

Correct. 

What I found funny about this entire thing is that it says students can sign up to study this stuff. Believe me, if your son or daughter is going to a university in a place like Oregon, they don't need to sign up for it. Their professors are delivering that nonsense for free every day and doing whatever they can to push your children into that belief without having to make it a dedicated course. 

In fact, they want professors to do this so badly that, as Miller points out, every professor has to complete a “Difference, Power and Oppression" course. 

This is how you create radicals. As I've written a lot lately, deconstruction is the name of the game, and applying critical theory to anything will eventually destroy it. With America as a macro case, the way to do it is to boil it down to its "systems." 

When they say "systems," what they're really saying is "foundational elements." For America, that would be things like capitalism, Judeo-Christian values, God-given rights, and liberty-based philosophies. If you want to destroy America, you make these foundational elements seem oppressive. Not oppressive generally, mind you, just oppressive to certain groups. If there isn't a system oppressing a group they need to feel victimized, then just create one. 

If you need women to feel oppressed and victimized, then create a mustache-twirling villain called "the patriarchy," a nebulous system with the sinister intent of limiting women's rights. You'll hear the word pop up every time feminists want to control something or kill a child. 

Need black people to feel oppressed? Don't just go straight for the black people. Tell the youth of any color that the "system" is made for whites and that there can be no equality until that system is deconstructed and another, more equal system is built on the ruins. What system is that? Most of them can't tell you, but the ones in charge know it's socialism

The ultimate goal is to paint Western society as oppressive in every way. As if it has nothing better to do than oppress people and help others live above everyone else. Suddenly, you have these kids seeing everything through a lens of oppressors and the oppressed, and morality is no longer right and wrong, but who sits where on the oppression meter. 

Did you ever wonder why Karmelo Anthony is a hero for stabbing Austin Metcalf, but Daniel Penny is a villain for choking out Jordan Neely? It's because one is "oppressed" because his skin color says he is, and the other is an "oppressor" for the same reason. 

Get people seeing reality through this kind of lens, and you'll create radicals who do horrible things at the behest of a twisted conscience. It's pretty simple programming that, sadly, is very hard to undo.
