On October 4th 1957 the Russians first began influencing American culture and politics. They launched sputnik, the first low orbit satellite, into orbit and initiated a nationwide panic among politicians and academics. The great fear was that the Russians were pulling ahead in the space race so the government swung into action and got into the student loan business.
The prospect of lifetime employment for college professors by sending everyone to college has since devolved into a sad reality where a liberal arts degree may have actually lowered the mean intelligence of the average American. It was quickly realized that academic standards had to be diminished to accommodate the flood of students who would otherwise have become productive citizens so traditional coursework was supplanted with all kinds idiosyncratic, basket-weaving, glorified Tupperware seminars like Women’s Studies and Black History.
Socially awkward intellectuals saw this as a grand opportunity to create a society in their own image by indoctrinating young minds with all kinds of hateful struggles: Men against women, blacks against whites, homosexuals against heterosexuals, old against young etc. As time passed and inept social engineering continued to grind the minds of college students, the placement on the bell curve of liberal arts graduates has degraded to a level about the same as a hospital patient in an induced coma.
They can barely read the contents of a restaurant menu and are unable to put anything in writing that qualifies as a respectable grocery list. A few decades ago US leadership realized the cultural wounds inflicted by the War on Poverty and the Great Society were so severe that American borders and national sovereignty had to be abandoned in order to import foreign talent to do the work necessary to maintain a functioning society.
The Russians have won because Sputnik introduced such mental impairment into US society that the average college graduate is a knuckle dragging true believer that can’t read or write but can throw rocks and bottles with accuracy.
The Russians must be overjoyed that education in America has become tantamount to a serious head injury. Now millions of Americans are so dumb that they can’t comprehend a president that actually solves problems and gets things done.
There is no doubt that the Russians are to blame for this unfortunate state of affairs; not through collusion but pollution of our educational apparatus. The Russians just made us too stupid.
