And of course you would give it four stars

I really don't like to go full /pol/ but it's absolutely disgusting how prevalent this is in female students and teachers alike, it's like they literally can't think of anything else. I had the misfortune of taking an ancient history class in high school with a female teacher, and very specifically we studied "the roles of women", "attitudes towards women", "patriarchy in x civilisation" for every module of study, by far the most common theme. Even the most unassuming and modest of girls in the class could open up about how they were studying women's "issues" through history near exclusively.

Identity politics are disgusting. Instead of elevating people to greater heights they effectively just humiliate and demean them. Third wave feminist insult the female sex more than than any redpilled fedora, conservative or alt-right has ever managed to.

> that was a wildly optimistic message. That video, as I saw it, seemed to suggest that the key to solving the world's worst problems is better history education. Is that right?
> Well, he says (surprised but able to chuckle) it's true we do believe strongly in our approach, stressing the idea of choices and the horrifying consequences taking our choices lightly. Students learn about that, that choices have consequences and that the wrong choices can do great harm to others. History is the story of individuals making choices, that's how we approach history. We believe we can teach history in a way that provides students with a balanced framework they can apply when they are faced with a choice. This leaning will give them a tremendous advantage over others, who don't understand how to think about how choices, sure, are yours to make, but to be responsible decision-makers we must also think about how our choices can inflict harmful damage on others.

I'm on the idiocy of a modern phenomenon. Leftist academia bolstered by like-minded wealthy donors and politicians are nearly complete in their completion of a MORAL system under which they can be unified, decisive, and deadly. Today purely moral arguments are hidden in assertions like "this is just not what America is about," which is a purely moral assertion.

But appeals to "America" cannot contain the complex moral system the left has developed. My expectation is that this new moral system will be backed by what I would call "Our Shared Hope for the Human." Done right, this could be a positive approach that, juxtaposed with Trump, could take on a certain edge. This campaign could be totally apolitical and it wouldn't be, because now everything is poisoned by politics.
