I’m underwhelmed by conservatives who quote Robespierre in an approving manner.

There are solid studies that show that leftist “indoctrination” in the universities fails. Folks leave with pretty much the same politics they enter with, and yet, you’d complete the desired effect of the long march of the left through the institutions, and destroy one of the institutions on which Western civilization rests to get rid of the tenured radicals.

I suggest a bit of Edmund Burke and Russell Kirk to tone up your conservatism.
Preserving peculiarities is conservative. Making a monoculture where everything looks like commerce is not.

I always keep learning R_R_D.

Why is it academics and elites take such a condescending tone when imparting advice?

Do you think they even notice that trait in their character?
