This might be the one of the things that angers me the most about leftists: they’re all mind readers, and they’re the final authority about what you mean.
I think it’s another aspect that’s reinforced in the college experience. Certainly in writing and English classes. If you can cite “sources” that agree with you, they’ll just rubber stamp it with a passing grade, and move on to the next one. Even if they think it’s trash. In other words, there’s no objective truth, just what you think, and if you can find a handful of people that agree.
The funny thing is, it’s not even necessarily an overt attempt at social engineering, just laziness, and the overall assembly line reality of your average liberal arts college. Get the students through, and collect their money.
