#Conservatism comes naturally to failures because it's always possible to cast failure as the result not of one's own failings but because of the world's corruption. At some point in the past, when tradition meant more and Men were Men and women were excluded from public life, the failure is certain they would have succeeded, but then the virus of rebellion took over and now it's the failure's job to freeze social change dead...or to roll it decades or even centuries backward.
Right now, Peter tells me, there's complaints from right-wing figures up in arms because they're being accused of academic incompetence.

A great many right-wing drones failed out of academia, like Bret Weinstein flunking his two-bit teaching job at Evergreen State because he couldn't hide his bigotry. (Bigots never WANT to hide so they have poor self-preservation in posts requiring discretion.) By their lights it's because academia and #education is a den of Marxist infiltration—they've been working that angle a long while, in different forms—so they've built their own network of fake institutions of fraudulent learning. From lofty and invisible heights, multimillionaires' money trickles down to feed all these Institutes and Foundations and right-wing media outlets. (cont'd)
