Finally, there are those (found most commonly in Academia, but elsewhere, too) who have made it their project to destroy our culture and our way of life in order to impose their own vision of Utopia. What better way to achieve that end than by supporting policies that subvert the rule of law, while imposing laws that are ill-defined, ineffective, and unenforceable?

While true, an achademic should be able to look to history for evidence of what happens when utopia is pursued. Which tells me they have an agenda beyond achademia.

Still contemplating the rest of your analysis. Thanks.

Please bear in mind that many of today's "academics" explicitly reject the idea of History as a useful guide to understanding past, present or future. Instead, they view it as a mere "social construct" reflecting the prejudices and biased perceptions of those who provide analysis and interpretation of events.

Today's "historians" are frequently Deconstructionists who reject the very idea of objectivity, view language as infinitely malleable and find their purpose in kicking the pillars out from beneath the institutions that house our civilization.
