> Starting decades ago, many people, especially in the universities, lost faith in the Western civilization narrative. They stopped teaching it, and the great cultural transmission belt broke. Now many students, if they encounter it, are taught that Western civilization is a history of oppression
It wasn’t accidental and there wasn’t some loss of faith that just happened by itself. They stopped teaching it deliberately, so that they could teach the oppression tale instead and have it uncritically lapped up by students with no actual knowledge of anything else. It was a deliberate subversion of the education system to manufacture generations of people hostile to their own societies and trained to undermine civilisation from within.
In the very early 1900s, Charles Beard and other profs began the subtle demonization of our Framing generation. While they were refuted by historians like Forrest McDonald and Gordon Wood in the 50s and 60s, the Left remained stuck in poor scholarship that is accepted as the truth today.
Now, white people shouldn’t vote, they have privilege and may be denied freedom of speech. The Left doesn’t know when to quit because it can’t. It is how societies talk themselves into gulags.
