That already happens. The worst districts spend all kinds of money and try the highest class teachers.

They don't succeed because of a lack of role models.

Ah yes the “intellectual” left where there are 500 genders, men are women, math is racist, science is racist, statistics are racist & so on.

The only thing leftists lack more than self awareness, is the ability to control themselves around children.

And how do these "intellectuals" act when someone has a different opinion?

We only need to look at our resident “intellectuals” who sperg out, wish death on people & their families or resort to calling people “bootlip” & “kike”.

We trade in arguments and counter-arguments, and intelligent reasoning and critical thought. We're not the ones squealing like angry babies and mashing the neg buttons when an alternative perspective is presented. I don't need a safe space where no one ever challenges my beliefs, nor does anyone else with a university education, and this is why university educated tend to lean left.


If you've been insulted by us, it is guaranteed you were doing it first or otherwise childishly misbehaving.
Back off, Warchild.

Also, what would Wincel do if his dad's car got a flat? Probably call his dad up crying, and screeching, "WHAT SHOULD I DO???"

Bodhy would call for his insurance to take him to discount tire, which would probably take an hr, then a few hrs while they fix it.

What would a tradie do? Change it themselves in 5-10 minutes.

Listen to this disingenuous ****. Constantly negs others, while claiming others are the ones mashing the neg button. Lives in a fantasy world. Where he isn't a massive delusional spastic, who tries so so hard to sound like he has a shred of intelligence. Which he fails miserably at.

Such a fake POS. No wonder he has to continually lie about his life. It's the only way he can live with himself being such a failure.

Lots of academics are intelligent but delusional because they’ve never held a proper job beside. This is why they think, that after the revolution, they’d either continue in their academic role or become a commissar or some chit. They don’t realise that - as members of the intelligentsia - their best case scenario is being sent to work in a cobalt mine and the most likely is they’d beaten to death in a field somewhere because the Red Guard won’t want to waste bullets on them.

The other reason is the leftist march through the institution of education - started in the 60s - is more or less complete by now. Therefore, it’s benefitted their careers to either be leftists or publicly pretend to be.

There are plenty of intellectuals on the right, OP, but you wouldn’t call them such as they occupy roles such as in banking, CEOs etc. Though these days even many of these need to publicly pretend to be at least sympathetic to leftist causes since the likes of BlackRock strong-arm them into it via ESG scores etc. The point is it creates an illusion of support.

You realize the Soviets kept the new intelligentsia and mostly purged their boomers, who were largely useless anyway, right? How do you think they got nuclear weapons and put a dude in space?

How did France, UK, Pakistan, India, China and N. Korea get nuclear weapons?

And you really believe that the Soviets allowed critical thinking? Especially under Stalin?

I already posted how that would work out,, he would be so useless in the Gulag, that they wouldn't even waste a bullet on him, they would just have an inmate do it for extra rations.

I’m talking current academics, not current students. The intelligencia as of the time of the revolution were mostly purged. Unless you think the scientists who got them into space were like 80 lol.

They weren't mostly purged. SOME of the outspoken ones were. Most Soviet scientists continued contributing, and Stalin actually improved their lives.

I love how this guy owns Ben Shapiro right here, and all he does is retreat into the CIA's blame Stalin for WW2 narrative.



It is an uncomfortable fact that Americans have tried to erase for 80 years that Joseph Stalin saved Europe and possibly the entire world. And he entered the pact for peace, and he first sought peace with the capitalist West, who had attacked the Bolsheviks with the Whites btw, but they snubbed him.
