The fake woke and the shrinking middle class

The fake woke reduce competition for middle-class careers by harassing and cancelling their competitors, disguising the exercise of their privilege in a performance of faux solidarity.

This video links the emergence of the new authoritarian left in the United Kingdom to a self-perpetuating higher education system influenced by a shallow reading of postmodernism, and a middle-class shrunk by the automation of white collar jobs and globalisation.

Am I right? Am I wrong? Please comment and let me know your thoughts.

"Homo economicus" has been as acidic to democratic ideals as National Socialism in Germany was to regular germans. Were watching the pinnacle of that ideology in Donald Trump and authoritarian. So, as this racket falls apart, we, the people, will absorb the cost in our real estate, cost of living (RENTS), and of course, the dismantling of (free) democratic institutions to make way for market society.

Good to hear this from the UK perspective. Thank you.

The demise of the Poly was one of the biggest cons and now the places can't compete, because the original purpose for them has been usurped.
We need them back.

We could afford to fund university back then, with only 7-10% of school leavers attending.

What a very useful review and exposé.

It puts me in mind of the late mediævil priests selling a place in paradise to those that would pay them.

That gave rise to Protestantism.

Another era of iconoclasm wherein the institution built on its promise of salvation was exposed and decried for exploiting rather than enabling people's desire for sanctuary.
