The app for independent voices

I recently finished reading an essay from a Columbia English Major recalling her experience of studying literature in modern academia. Her experiences recall being excoriated and receiving failing grades if she ever insinuated that an author revealed positive emotion toward a patriarchal structure or if a heterosexual love was not subverted to be “secretly queer”.

It’s disgusting what they do in the humanities. I never formally studied the humanities and now I know I was saved from watching the most beautiful works of art get mutilated by a vile and disgusting leftist establishment that wanted to cut open every artery of every poem and stain it with feminism, queer theory and “social justice”.

I am glad I was spared that carnage because of how much I dearly love art.

Dostoevsky, in the Petrashevsky circle in the 1840s made a similar rant when they were trying to tell him that the purpose of literature is to “advance socialist propaganda”. And Dostoevsky, usually mild mannered and taciturn, exploded with rage at this idea.

The academics are nothing but disgusting Marxists who despise art, beauty, literature, the family, all that is wholesome and good as is displayed by the western canon. All great art is “right wing art” in so far as it is not LYING to progress a political agenda. The politics of the true right wing are apolitical. This is why the university must be annihilated.

Everyone must be purged from the hallowed halls they have stolen.
