Academia is beyond lost.

Certain fields are in different stages of progressive rot but the truth cannot be avoided that it is too late to salvage the current institutions.

Parallel institutions were needed many many decades ago.

As the saying goes, the best time to plant a tree was 50 years ago and the second best time to plant a tree is now.

Building new decentralized uncorruptible institutions should be one of the right's main goals.

I think there should be a three-pronged strategy.

  1. Build parallel institutions.
  2. Discredit the current woke institutions.
  3. Attempt to take over woke institutions

Third may seem implausible. But how plausible did it seem that the worst people in the world would manage to take them over to begin with?

I agree with both of the first two prongs.

Third prong is not just implausible but it is impossible.

The left took over the major institutions when the institutions were politically neutral or centrist, no one who is currently to the right of Marx can get high enough to successfully take over any major institution.

The solution is to build parallel institutions while discrediting current institutions and pushing them to total collapse.

There will be a time when "taking over" is viable, but definitely not in the near future. That would probably be more like looting them after they've collapsed though.

I agree. This could work. Conservative institutions can market themselves as alternatives to woke colleges while cutting tuition costs via stripped-down administrations.

Catholic/Jesuit schools that have not yet been compromised (are there any?) would be natural leaders here.

Every Jesuit school is extremely woke.

I did one of my degrees at a Jesuit school many years ago and they had woke anti-White/Anti-Male elements even then.

As someone who previously worked in academia, I know colleagues who currently teach at Catholic schools and almost all of them are horrific woke leftists.

Catholic schools are now almost as woke as the Jesuit schools.

There are very few non woke universities, even the religious ones are mostly woke.

That's a shame. Need to start from scratch.

Aren't we optimistic today.

The reason I say take over, is because I am very pessimistic about the prospects for parallel institutions. I'm all for it, but I don't see it being successful.

^ THIS.

The government needs to decertify all existing academic certifications and gradually move to a new certification system which will prevent infestation by ideological cancers. Those people who aren't mentally deranged woke scum can re-earn their certifications in the new system. Companies should be held liable if they hire an employee with a voided certification and they things fuck up for someone else.

Teachers in unions should all be fired and replaced with any decent person. Character tests should be applied by non-degenerates - i.e., no visible tattoos, fluoro hair, anyone who flies the Flag of the Degeneracy, trannies, etc.

But most of all, the media has to be flushed down the toilet. Best way to do this is by enforcing freedom of speech on the Internet.

Within 20 years of doing this the woke cancer will have shrivelled up and crawled back to being a fleeting trend among the wealthy.

AHA has now privated its Twitter feed, because actual people were criticizing them for this ridiculous struggle session.

This is the article.

Sad thing is, the article was 100% reasonable and mostly accurate.

Of course, if he actually had a spine and had conviction in anything he wrote in it, his response to the outrage should have been something along the lines of "you people are the very reason I wrote the article in the first place, and you're just proving my point for me. Point to any historical inaccuracies in what I wrote or STFU and GTFO"

If you do not keep your gates and built a right-wing echo chamber, it WILL eventually become a left-wing echo chamber.

Because leftists scream louder.

Gatekeep, or be gatekept.

I read many comments by idiots, and never found out what their precise complaint was.

As is usual with these types, they never specify what they delude themselves into believing is wrong.
