How Imperial Academia Dismantled Our Culture and Ushered In the Obamacrats

The American academy has long been a bastion of liberalism, but in recent decades it has become increasingly radicalized. This has had a profound impact on American culture, leading to a decline in civility, a rise in political correctness, and the creation of a generation of fragile snowflakes who are unable to cope with dissenting opinions.

One of the most pernicious effects of imperial academia has been the emphasis on political correctness. This has created a climate of fear on college campuses, where students are afraid to express their true opinions for fear of being branded a racist, sexist, or homophobe. This has led to a decline in free speech and open debate, which are essential for a healthy democracy.

Another harmful effect of imperial academia has been the rise of safe spaces. These are places where students can go to escape from the harsh realities of the world. While safe spaces can be helpful for students who are struggling with mental health issues, they can also be harmful if they are used to shield students from dissenting opinions. This can lead to a generation of students who are unable to cope with the challenges of the real world.

The combination of political correctness and safe spaces has created a generation of fragile snowflakes who are unable to cope with dissenting opinions. These snowflakes are easily offended by anything that challenges their worldview. They are also quick to label anyone who disagrees with them as a racist, sexist, or homophobe.

The rise of the snowflakes has led to a decline in civility in American society. People are no longer able to have polite disagreements without resorting to name-calling and personal attacks. This has made it difficult to have productive conversations about important issues.

The snowflakes have also made it difficult to elect qualified candidates to public office. In recent elections, the snowflakes have been quick to attack any candidate who does not share their ideology. This has led to the election of unqualified candidates who are more interested in promoting their own agendas than in serving the public.

The rise of the snowflakes is a threat to American democracy. If we are not able to have polite disagreements or elect qualified candidates to public office, then our democracy will be in danger.

There is a solution to the problem of imperial academia. We need to return to classical education and the values of free speech and open debate. Classical education emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and the ability to see both sides of an argument. It also teaches students the importance of tolerance and respect for others.

Free speech and open debate are essential for a healthy democracy. We need to be able to talk about important issues without fear of being censored or labeled as a racist, sexist, or homophobe. We also need to be able to hear from people who disagree with us. This is the only way that we can make informed decisions about the future of our country.

The future of American democracy depends on our ability to return to classical education and the values of free speech and open debate. If we can do this, then we can overcome the challenges facing our country and build a better future for all Americans.
