"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
The Rot of Intolerance at Swarthmore
But they sure did teach this: “Listen to Erin Ching, Class of 16: “What really bothered me,” Ching was quoted in the Swarthmore student newspaper as saying, “is the whole idea that at a liberal arts college, we need to be hearing a diversity of opinion. I don’t think we should be tolerating [George’s] conservative views because that dominant culture embeds these deep inequalities in our society.” Bothered by having to tolerate a diversity of opinions in college. I want to laugh, but it also sends chills of horror right through me. That is indoctrination, not education and I believe with my whole self that such depths of ignorance, such an astounding lack of intellectual curiosity is completely deliberate. There is no dealing with people like that, they have lost the capacity to think, to reason. That, right there, is the zombie apocalypse. And, those de-education camps are just churning them out en masse.
