Surprise, surprise - lots of obvious race and sex discrimination has resulted from the UC's "diversity statement" protocol.
Given the demographics involved - women and many of the favored minorities are more likely to be politically on the left - the so-called required diversity statements at Berkley/UC are veritably designed (in an evolutionary-mutation sort of way) to increase the presence of leftists on campus. I mean, it was fucking obvious from the get-go what the agenda is here. This is the Academic Left doing what it does - enforcing ideological conformity by whatever means it can get away with. They're commies at heart, purging the impure elements to get down to a hard core of the ideologically inbred, research quality be damned. (Their own versions of Lysenkoism couldn't be far behind - could it?)
And without legalities getting in the way - as is likely to occur under our Anglo-Saxon legal tradition (these pathetic fucks would call that a racist dog whistle, or something) - they would keep on doing it more and more until they've created a completely discredited intellectual trainwreck. They just can't help themselves, can they.
If you don't see a connection between this trainwreck-in-the-making and the scummy history-rewriting (currently in the process of being discredited by appalled historians) going on at the NYT, then maybe you suck at pattern recognition. This is the same shit being played out in (only slightly?) superficially different ways.
This is what happens when American leftists as we now know them have the run of the place. Ultimately it'd be all AOCs all the time, a thorough brainwashing with all opposition dismissed as racist/fascist/sexist/capitalist/imperialist.
For fuck's sake, like there wasn't a nonstop avalanche of evidence of this meltdown already? Just watch - if/when the UC ideological-conformity statements run into too many legal challenges, the ideological-conformity motherfuckers will do what they can to weasel around them with something even more outrageous, offensive, and twisted. It's what they do.
This cancer has taken over and just about destroyed the Demo-rat Party and the moderates don't know what to do; they've all been schooled in America-is-racist and capitalism-is-evil memes by the Academic Left and that's what contextualizes their areas of disagreement. Just how much wealth and privilege of white males needs to be expropriated, exactly? Exactly how much do corporations exploit the non-CEO workers who create all the value? Exactly how flimsy do sexual assault allegations against white males have to be before they can be disbelieved at long last? That kind of shit, not the stuff that middle-Americans disagree about.
The Dems' least-unqualified candidate at this point, the least ridiculous-looking when put up against the Racist Power-Abusing Sitting President, is an old, white male. The presumptive future of the party is AOC, an obvious trainwreck situation; I'm not sure even Mayor Pete can stem the far-left tide here.
The Blue States' public-union-controlled budgets and always-escalating minimum wages are being sustained by prolonged and solid economic growth; what's their backup plan for if/when the shit hits the fan there? Blame capitalism/Republicans/white privilege yet some more and hope/pray swing-state voters and not just Academic Leftists will find them credible?
Lastly: Is there any prominent, outspoken figure on the Academic Left these days who isn't a piece of shit? Because if he/she is not calling out the Academic Left for being the giant cancerous mound of shit that it clearly is, then he/she is part of the problem.
