The Root of all evil is higher education Anonymous 08/27/15 (Thu) 14:40:24 1e1066 No.16344

For quite some time on /pol/ or any place connected to the Chans people have been stating how higher education has been infiltrated or bluepills people, or however you want to phrase it.

Of course history has proven that agent provocateurs will infiltrate the education system of a group they wish to exploit; just look at what the KGB did. But what if even without infiltration, higher education still remained dangerous?

Now there's various ways to interpret the studies I'm about to upload, but the main thing the show is that higher education, more so than anything else, is the leading cause of change in society. If people are starving in the streets they don't care about Marxist ideals, they care about food. It's opportunists that yield the hungry masses that forge their own will over the community. It's how Communism started, and it's why it failed. But where do these people

>gain the worldly understanding that Communism is the way forward

Look at Lenin, he went to uni (college).

If you go back to say the Greeks, the concept of the University did not exist, and perhaps for a good reason as we'll come to see.

The first study I'm going to present is the connection between having too many people being overeducated in a society.

To quote the study:

>What, if any, was the historical importance of this surplus of educated men who might justly be said to have formed an intellectual

proletariat? The political history of the period points to the conclusion that their presence made for social and political instability.

As the study suggests this is probably due to:

>The prestige and intrinsic interest of intellectual as opposed to manual occupations are perhaps enough in themselves to cause a permanent oversupply of trained talents.

>New expectations of advancement were formed, but in practice economic opportunities remained very limited. Secondary education was scarce, expensive, and much valued; those with such an education naturally developed a high degree of self-importance and put forward claims for social recognition and reward.

>The result, predictably, was discontent and, frequently, revolt.

This has happened in modern times too, look at the Arab spring. So this is not merely a symptom of the past. Also the author highlights a point to show that it can occur in modern societies:

>Conversely, of course, an excess of educated men could become a problem in a mature capitalist economy that had ceased to function effectively, as in pre-1933 Germany.

The Weimar Republic was full of overeducated people and this created the tumultuous times that led to Hitler's rise. We also saw the flight of many Jewish professors from Nazi Germany so the Nazis did not have the same problem as the next study will highlight.

>We found somewhat more evidence that education had an influence on the change of attitudes toward Hitler. From the start, respondents with only elementary schooling were more supportive of the Hitler regime than more educated respondents, but the gap between the two groups widened over the twelve year period we studied (see Fig. II). Over time, the favorable attitude toward Hitler declined more rapidly among those with higher education than among the less educated.

>Furthermore, at the end of the period over 30 per cent of the population had higher education while only half as many had attained this level of education twelve years earlier. Ten per cent of the change in attitude toward Hitler was due to a change in the educational composition of the population (see Table 5). Thus support for the Hitler regime declined with above average rapidity among educated Germans, and they in turn made up an increasing proportion of the population.

Now that was a lot of copy pasta but the important bits are: 1. the Nazis didn't have an overly educated population, 2. The population became overly educated after about a generation of time, 3. this over-education results in not only a severe demographics change, but a Mao style Cultural Revolution.

So after one generation the Germans became convinced that they were bad etc. etc.

Combining the two studies paints the picture that the average person cannot handle higher education. They do not go into it to seek new understanding but to gain

> a higher degree of self-importance; new expectations of advancement

And when they are not met with this reality they become

>discontent and frequently revolt

So the intrinsic nature of higher education leads to degeneracy, decadence, etc. Especially when you combine it with the average person. It is only made worse with infiltrators who preach of utopia from their academic pulpit.

This isn't to say there isn't a point to higher education or that further learning isn't required. There's a need for skilled labor, there's a need to actually knowing what to do with your job; but everyone doesn't need to be a "certified political expert" because they took a politics course in college.

Now there's more things to explore with education as all this bullshit doesn't begin to cover it, but as far as what the lessons of history say, well I'll quote the Communists this time:

>From each according to his ability, to each according to his need

Maybe that phrase could find a use in education.

I think you're confusing symptoms of decay with systems of decay, and leftist brainwashing with higher education. Church universities and teaching places have existed for centuries before the ongoing decay of our civilization began to pronounce itself, as did higher education and educated classes from across the board. It is only because we live in such twilight that "Universities" are currently the home of subversion, sophism and rot, as opposed to the forums of Rome or the temples of Mexico in their respective civilization. All of these started off as grand devices, but decayed as their society decayed.

Your sources are absurdly weak. The Arab Spring was a CIA subversion op with no connection to actual education levels. Germany's modern history and current attitudes can hardly be singled out as a problem sprung by education, given that it had a crippling debt and pathetic loss before and a total destruction and demonization of the people afterwards. The fact that you define post-WW2 brainwashing, self-hatred and jewry as an example of destructive "Higher Education" serves only to prove how weak your theory is.

I think it's funny that Wikipedia doesn't allow a discrete article on Cultural Marxism, but has a lengthy article on Moe

Hello anons in a couple of days I'm heading for uni. I'll report right away if I meet any cultural marxism. I live in E. Europe so the results might not be what you would expect.

Except the Arab spring was grass roots and started by a lot of disaffected College Students. The CIA capitalized on it of course, and they helped goad it to start, but you can't capitalize on something that isn't there.

Also Higher Education started during the High Middle Ages, or about 1000AD. But there's a difference to how higher education was during those periods and how it is during periods of instability.

You see during stable times, even about a 100 years ago for the US (Not Germany as evidenced by the Frankfurt School, also Germany was going Weimar by now) Higher Education wasn't for everyone. At certain points of history anyone could obtain higher education and it caused political instability etc.

As I stated:

>So the intrinsic nature of higher education leads to degeneracy, decadence, etc. Especially when you combine it with the average person.

The proletariat wasn't met for higher education, as in everyone go to college. There is a need for different kind of tertiary education for job training, but not everyone needs a degree of some sort. It's not just "GenEd" in the US it's how across the world you have many people going to college that don't need it. Again as I stated:

>This isn't to say there isn't a point to higher education or that further learning isn't required. There's a need for skilled labor, there's a need to actually knowing what to do with your job; but everyone doesn't need to be a "certified political expert" because they took a politics course in college.

Also I didn't define just the period after WW2 as an example of the ills of higher education.

The period before the collapse of the Russian and German Empires had the same problem. The period before the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Wherever you go throughout history too many proles being too highly educated leads to political instability and degeneracy. For Germany alone it happened twice. And if Crippling debt was the cause that does not explain after WW2 and that doesn't explain how the Nazis managed to rally the people after the "Jewish brain drain." If Debt was the cause then the United States would have immediately failed. As for pathetic losses and debt, Iraq after the Gulf War counts, and they still had Saddam after the war, they only went down after the NATO coalition invaded them again. Syria has 15.1% external debt, yet they have ISIS and the FSA attacking. The FSA is literally a bunch of college kids, and Al-Baghdadi is also college certified.

Higher education ruins the minds of the plebs. Throughout history. Look at Al-Baghdadi he was completely Halal graduated from the University of Baghdad, but when you add in infiltration such as CIA and Jews you get ISIS. It's the Higher Ed that poisons the mind of the pleb making them think they're a patrician, and since they want to "earn their rightful place" they'll destroy a good society, but they're still a pleb that's where the infiltrators and provocateurs come in. They get this intellectual proletariat to rebel for what ever reason they want.

Expanding on the idea of why America's education system wasn't as fucked as it is now is this guy:

Alexander Inglis whose work was used a a bit of time before the 60s started to really fuck shit up.

Here is some of what he says should be the aims of secondary education:

>It was there pointed out that one of the imperative demands made by society on the secondary school is provision for the development of that amount of like-mindedness, of unity in thought, habits, ideals, and standards, requisite for social cohesion and social solidarity.

> The increasing heterogeneity of the population in this country tends constantly to increase the diversity of social heredity and therefore to render the process of social integration more necessary and more difficult.

>the differentiating function of secondary education arises out of the necessity of taking advantage of the differences among individuals for the purpose of determining social efficiency.

>Preparation for such higher education cannot be considered as a separate aim of secondary education. It must be considered, however, as a legitimate function of secondary education in the case of those pupils whose preparation for the attainment of the ultimate aims of education may be extended over a longer period of time than that of the great majority.

Enough pasta, I need to tell you the recipe this guy is cooking with.

He's using the same damn model as the Prussians from the 1820s. And it worked didn't it? At least for a little while.

But then this happened:

>Educators opposed to the German state-run schools, which emphasized military education, set up their own independent liberal schools, which encouraged individuality and freedom.

During the 1890s; also the book that's from is hard to find so if you find a copy let me know.

Anyway as we all know it went downhill from there. And the same thing happened in the US, in about the same amount of time.

Were the educators Jewish? Maybe, but either way it proves that education in the hands of certain people is more dangerous than an atom bomb.

Also have this fun quote:

>Of the ancient peoples of the Middle East, the Jews were the most insistent that all children regardless of class–be educated.

It's good to have primary education yes, but think about it. College students are treated like children and children regardless of class (or anything else) must be educated to the highest degree. Again it only becomes a huge problem when you combine fuel, heat, and oxygen. When they're by themselves they're fine. It's just they usually come in pairs and by the that time the third one decides to show up and ruin everything.

The university was a force for definite good before the tenure system allowed Marxists to use it to shape society. I honestly wonder if the answer is to gain access to some professorships to try to change things from within. I mean, the system allows for infiltration still, doesn't it?

Education is like a gun. When you have gun control certain types of guns are restricted or only certain people can get access. What we have right now in education is anybody can access it but only certain ideas are accessible. Now in an ideal world everyone could responsibly handle education or a gun but some people just have to ruin things.

/k/ can be as second amendment as they want but some people really are too stupid to responsibly handle firearms, and some people are incapable of handling higher education. It doesn't necessarily mean a blanket ban, it just means it should be meritocratic not automatic. But while gun safety and what not can be trained (otherwise the US army would be in an even worse state) you can't just train people for higher education. You can smack a retard with a stick and get him to shoot properly and maintain firing discipline but you can't expect to turn him into Leibniz or something. Though that retard might make a damn fine scout sniper, but that's another story.

It's like I keep saying there's a two stage trigger to this. First is the round in the chamber stage:

Tyrone, Jose, Cletus, and all that other garbage get tossed into college. Due to this the demand for college prices increase massively and the scholarships go to the minorities, debt increases.

Next is the cocked pistol stage:

Infiltrators use the weak and feeble minds of the lowest common denominator to establish group think. Group think begins to spread until it infects basically everyone. Expect white guilt, race baiting, country hating bullshit. (It's actually really interesting that the infiltrators will always demonize the host country, while it is to be expected, the fact that have routinely done it throughout history is interesting).

Last is the smoking gun stage:

By feeding off of the expectations the college students begin to parasitically devour their country.

If you look at modern examples you will see how African American studies is basically how to use affirmative action and how to get reparations; Women's studies is sexual liberation and sexual harassment, etc. You get the picture. It turns into an orgy of whiny bastards looking for pity and handouts. This is because the student's expectations were never met so the infiltrators turn their discontent towards society by saying it's a systemic problem.

If you go earlier you had KGB during the Vietnam War in particular. At the same time in Germany the first batch of white guilt good goy Germans were "fresh out the oven." Going further back you have the hardcore Marxists coming out of college which led to the Russian Revolution and the failed German Civil War. Shit gets weirder when you consider who assassinated Franz Ferdinand:

>Gavrilo transferred to a local gymnasium.

And if you take this quote from another book:

>The Habsburgs had not yet acquired Venice, Dalmatia, and Bosnia where there were small Sephardic communities which at a later date constituted a Habsburg Jewery of the south.

I'll admit that last one is a bit out there but it's interesting all right.

But, to your second point:

It's worth a shot, even if the system didn't allow infiltration. Nothing is going to change if we sit around and discuss how the Habsburg Jews got their name. It may benefit us to know that, but it won't change the fact that we're in the cocked pistol stage and almost into the smoking gun stage. All we need is a bunch of punk college kids picking up weapons and declaring proletariats of the world unite. Occupy was a test of what's to come. It's happened before it can easily happen again.

So remember: only you can prevent wildfires.
