“Educated people vote blue”

which is why ‘doctor’ and ‘professor’ are dirty words to me now. Not scholars but marxist ideologues who cannot think outside their smelly little orthodoxies.

Joy!

Some of my siblings who settled in the communist north (of the yarra) tell me they and their friends are slapping “I bought it before i knew he was a dick” stickers on the Gaia chariots. Chortle. They all charge them at work. Fuel pain for thee…. Time to once again drag out my Christmas lunch tatts dream of buying a Landcruiser Sahara.

Interestink…

And the response from the great and good is effectively sticking their fingers in their ears and going lalala…

Several academics and researchers declined to comment on the book on the grounds that it might give credence to its claims.
“To be honest, I don’t think it is worth the effort,” said Prof Gregory Noble from Western Sydney University. “[I] feel that it is really just a self-justification of their actions at the time and based on a deep resentment to the way they were treated.”

…
Another focus of the book is the retaliatory attacks, which Scully and Goodwin write were much more violent than the riots and could have unleashed a “bloodbath” but for a highly effective police and government response.
They claim police thwarted a planned attack on Cronulla’s Northies Hotel with machine guns and a hand grenade, and a rampage through Miranda Westfield’s shopping centre by “fifty cars full of Middle Eastern men … with baseball bats, iron bars, knives, guns and other weapons”.
Noble, who edited a book on the riots in 2009, says it is possible that he and other researchers of the event “perhaps didn’t give enough coverage to these revenge attacks”, but says Scully and Goodwin’s assessment of their severity was “based on documents that only they had access to”.

Compare and contrast to “stories my nanna told me”…

Dons really are beneath contempt.

Aged sis-in-law raged over the phone at the missus about how horrible Trump was and how his election would cause WW3 and, of course, climate change.

Missus returned serve with a withering winning backhand down the line about Dementia Joe and the Cackler.

I just quietly sent her a snap of me wearing my red 2024 MAGA cap.

Then followed up with a pic of our puppy wearing it (just before he bolted outside chewing the fcuk out of it).

Life is fun in this Trumpian era!

Turn on the tap I say.
We forget how hard life used to be and still is in some places.

Grammar matters.

A jury awarded more than $12 million Friday to a woman who lost her job at a Michigan insurance company after declining to get a COVID-19 vaccination.

A company rhat hires a gang of neurotic women prone to mass hysteria to run its HR department is inevitably going to have problems.

Another WIP meme had me whistling this. The perfect state!

How The Nazis Conquered German Universities | Sir Niall Ferguson: The Treason of the Intellectuals

 Summary In this talk, Sir Niall Ferguson discusses the historical and contemporary relationship between academia and extremist political ideologies, focusing particularly on the rise of Nazism in German universities before WWII and drawing parallels to current trends in U.S. higher education. He argues that a troubling shift in academic culture has led to a lack of commitment to free speech and critical inquiry, creating an environment where ideological conformity is enforced and dissent is silenced. Ferguson believes the academic elite of today reflect the dangerous dynamics seen in the past, warning against the institutionalization of political activism within educational settings. ### Key Points by Section #### Introduction – Ferguson introduces the topic as an exploration of the betrayal of intellectuals and the concept of academic liberty. – He references Julien Benda’s 1927 work “The Treason of the Intellectuals,” which criticized intellectuals for succumbing to political passions. – Benda’s view: Intellectuals should uphold justice and truth rather than embracing strong state ideologies. #### German Academia Before WWII – In the 1920s, German universities were the most prestigious globally, with a large portion of Nobel Prize winners in the sciences. – German academics were uniquely predisposed to support charismatic leaders, including Hitler. – Early signs of anti-Semitism in universities, with groups excluding Jews from student fraternities. – The role of German academics in crafting Nazi policy and ideologies, exemplified by eugenics and justifications for the Nazi agenda. #### Decline of German Universities – Hitler’s anti-Semitism caused a mass exodus of Jewish professors, depriving universities of their intellectual capital and leading to a “brain drain.” – Non-Jewish academics often supported Nazi ideologies for career advancement. – The correlation between university degrees and support for Nazism is highlighted by historical anecdotes. #### Modern Political Activism in Academia – Ferguson contrasts historical actions with contemporary situations in U.S. universities, particularly after events like the Hamas attacks and the subsequent responses by student groups. – The growth of cancel culture and the diminishing tolerance for free speech on campuses are explored, supported by statistics on student attitudes toward controversial topics. – Ferguson bemoans the lack of moral courage among university leaders responding to polarization and student pressures. #### Current Academic Climate in the U.S. – Data shows increasing attempts to censor viewpoints across universities, alongside an overwhelming liberal bias among faculty. – Growth of administrative costs and the impact of bureaucratic structures on academic freedom. – Many students experience self-censorship due to fear of reprisal from peers. #### Factors Contributing to Current Trends – Ferguson references the work of authors discussing social media’s influence on intolerance and the deterioration of civil discourse. – He highlights the increasing political skew among academics and discusses how universities have become less tolerant places for dissenting views. #### Potential Solutions – Ferguson argues for the need for new institutions focused on protecting academic liberty, referencing the creation of the University of Austin. – The importance of maintaining a distinct separation between personal political activism and academic responsibilities is emphasized. #### Conclusion – Ferguson expresses concern that if current trends continue, universities in the UK, like those in the U.S., could also slide into the depths of ideological conformity and intolerance. – The Pharos Foundation is mentioned as an initiative aimed at promoting open dialogue and diverse perspectives in academia.
