I went to back to school (in the US) to get my master’s in public health, and it’s wild to be in the belly of the beast of academia and just a liberal organ in general after my “radicalization”. The glaring holes in the ideas and logic we discuss are so easily glossed over by most of the other students and professors and when I point them out sometimes I’ll get a “wow thats really interesting” or something but we just move past it because they have no way of dealing with the contradictions I bring up other than to ultimately discard it. I understand more now how otherwise principled people can crack under the pressure in these kinds of situations because liberal ideology is just relentless and oppressive.
It’s strong and pervasive because we haven’t overcame the economic system it’s superstructure permeates from yet. When we say “liberalism” or “western culture” it’s really capitalism we’re talking about because that’s what drives it. The specific characteristics are due to the system being physically centered in America as opposed to say Britain as before or perhaps one day in Russia.
