One quote stemming from my university days: Although I may differ with your opinion, I would fight to the death for your right to defend that opinion.
I was actually thinking about this yesterday. On the surface, it seems this is a conservative value but was given lip service in the past. They said it, but didn't mean it just like their roots in socialism.
If I am correct in thinking that "ideological parameters" in the elementary, high school and university classroom settings censor discussion of conflicting ideals, isn't this a curbing of free thought?
If "progressive thinking" is curbing free thinking, isn't that, in fact, "regressive.
The left has always been about conforming and used violence to enforce. Some of this grew out of political correctness. The media and other institutions have reinforced the message, not just the so called institutions of higher learning. Part of their justification is based on illogical arguments such as racism, sexism etc. They certainly do not embrace "diversity" from an ideological / thought perspective.
Isn't TDS a sympton of a very dysfunctional part of our society that has been immersed in wayward thought processing brought about by the indoctrination by an impractical ideology that has consumed our educational system?
It is consuming far more than just our educational system. I also think that TDS is also a reflection of what the swamp stands to lose via the election of DJT. The folks in the hierarchy stand to lose power and $$$.
Some aspects such as thought diversity are now confronting deeply ingrained societal mores instilled by our educational system, social media etc. Human nature is such that failures are more often ascribed to external factors as opposed to internal factors (i.e. responsibility / personal accountability). This makes for a fertile ground for leftist ideas. The left likes victims but problematically for them they avow to trap them in that state. |
