Millennials don’t know what they are doing. They are killing the United States and classical liberalism. I’m not talking about “liberals” like members of the Democratic Party I’m talking about classical liberalism where ideas matter.
There is no freedom of thought in their ranks. You either tow the line or you are ostracized and pushed to irrelevance. Sooner or later this will all come back to bite them. When the next generation or the generation after that rebels against the political correctness and the control freaks of the Millennial Generation. I don’t know how they’re going to deal with a lack of a safe space 30 or 40 years from now when they are at the end of their reign.
I always thought the Baby Boomers were the worst generation. But, I have reconsidered and now it is the Millennials. They’re rotten from the inside and don’t know it. That kind of ignorance is dangerous to a free society.
An ostensibly independent opinion section was ransacked because the social-justice warriors in the newsroom opposed a single article espousing a view that polls show tens of millions of Americans support if the police can’t handle rioting and violence. The publisher failed to back up his editors, which means the editors no longer run the place. The struggle sessions on Twitter and Slack channels rule.
All of this shows the extent to which American journalism is now dominated by the same moral denunciation, “safe space” demands, and identity-politics dogmas that began in the universities. The agents of this politics now dominate nearly all of America’s leading cultural institutions—museums, philanthropy, Hollywood, book publishers, even late-night talk shows.
On matters deemed sacrosanct—and today that includes the view that America is root-and-branch racist—there is no room for debate. You must admit your failure to appreciate this orthodoxy and do penance, or you will not survive in the job.
