That whole site is great but damn if they couldn't use an editor.
I went to college >20 years ago, I can't imagine how bad it is now. Even back then there was a repressive atmosphere against white men and any kind of even slightly conservative thought. The anti-white/anti-male hatred wasn't as open but every "celebration" of women and non-whites always comes with implicit condemnation of whites and men.
The subversion of education and complete inability of the government to do anything about it is going to be a painful wound to clean and heal. Any plan by the right to fight the culture war that doesn’t start with the destruction of the Left’s vice grip on education and media is doomed to fail.
The right doesn't have the power to fix it. It's not even close.
Let's be real, the right doesn't even have a plan.
First you have to understand that the right is not one single entity.
The "right" consists of
Neoconservatives like Bush, McCain, Romney and their band of scum who care about tax cuts solely for largest corporations and making sure that the endless wars in the Middle East continue for the Military Industrial Complex
Religious right- Conservative evangelical Christians who care mainly about social issues such as abortion and gay marriage.
America first/MAGA: People who want right wing populism policies. They want to stop globalism and ensure that there will be good financial outcomes for Americans. They are also against political correctness and sjwism.
This is a broad coalition of people who we generally call the right.
There is no plan because the right has no one single policy goal in common.
America first/MAGA and Religious right can sometimes find common ground on anti-SJWism these days but the neo-cons are the real problem.
The neo-cons control the entire Republican party establishment.
Even if the America first/MAGA wing creates a plan, the neo-con scum will fuck us all over.
I like your optimism. Not sure its realistic, but I want to live in that world.
The right needs to heavily push school choice policies so less kids are indoctrinated early in public schools which are full of leftist teaching unions.
The right needs to all stop college tuition subsidies and grants so the colleges will have less people to indoctrinate.
The right needs to also create alternate news media and entertainment while also dealing with the issue of how to deal with leftist payment processors and other infrastructural service providers denying them service.
It is hard to not become hopelessly blackpilled when assessing the current state of the major institutions.
It will be completely over if all non leftists get too demoralized and just give up.
We also need to prevent businesses from forcing jobs to have arbitrary college degrees. I can tell you that degrees are practically useless for the majority of jobs and is only a pre-requisite to offload the responsibility of the company to train their employees (even though college degrees don't provide any education into the needed skills for most positions), and to also claim that the country is suffering from a shortage of talent so that they can get more cheap labor from foreign countries. Colleges are the perfect scapegoat for large corporations.
Ben Shapiro is doing just that with his media company. He is supposedly getting into the entertainment industry as well with feature length films.
If that arrogant midget neocon is the best shot we have at creating alternate right wing institutions, we are screwed.
Maybe not the best shot but he is the enemy of our enemy. I've been listening to him a lot and other than maybe cheerleading for israel a bit too enthusiastically I haven't heard anything objectionable.
He openly states that if a policy is good for america but bad for israel he will support it and I haven't heard him contradict that.
I don't trust Ben Shapiro with this because he has demonstrated that he is of the neocon wing of the right, he supports never ending wars in the Middle East for Israel's sake, he doesn't truly push back against sjw bullshit and he is a grifter.
He says many things but his actions betray him.
A little while back, he jumped on a bullshit metoo incident without proof and even attacked Trump over it.

Little Ben is a snake.
If you turn up the purity test level so high you end up all alone muttering to yourself.
Ben was an anti trumper in 2016 and since he has come around. Not being pro trump but to publicly proclaiming multiple times that trump did a good job on policy. I don't see where he doesn't truly push back, he went into the belly of the beast many times on a college lecture tour. And as for grifter I don't fault anyone for trying to make money, his show has ads which are clearly pointed out, he writes books and promotes them.
He is also clever and unthreatening and so is useful to push purple pill normies toward the edge.
In what universe can the right do any of what you propose? Far more likely is the exact opposite policies will be implemented.
I said this is what they should do.
The issue is the neocons would never do it and it is not possible for the America first/ MAGA wing to do it alone.
Yes I know the title of this damn article is at the same level of obvious as "water is wet" but some academics like Zubatov are only now realizing the nightmarish level of American higher education.
Zubatov still can't resist taking some unnecessary digs at right wing individuals even when writing about the complete leftist indoctrination and infestation of higher education.
Still I thought this article has some interesting points and it may be useful for people here to redpill any friends or family who fit the profile of overly "educated" normies who have not bought into the woke garbage but yet still don't see the complete horror of what higher education is in America.
I remember a joke,from a MIGimu prof I met once over lunch -
What do Russians do in America?
They teach math to the Chinese.
It is not even a joke at this point.
These sorts of articles are pointless. Word wizards used their spells to manipulate all of us into doing what they wanted. Now we throw our own spells back at them, and they simply laugh - because they've known the words were meaningless all along.
