I’m not on TikTok, and I recommend you delete your account if you are (or your kid’s accounts, if they have them). If you don’t think you can live without it you can cut out the middleman and send all your personal data to the Chinese consulate (or reach out to Eric Swalwell’s office and ask for Fang-Fang’s number, same difference). But putting aside the communists who run it, there’s a big problem with the communists who use it – many of them are teachers, and a disturbing percentage of them are mentally unstable.
This isn’t just about TikTok, it’s about academia. Major universities in this country are run by diversity hires who couldn’t bring themselves to condemn calls for genocide because they were made against Jews. When the presidents of Harvard, MIT and the University of Pennsylvania testified on the Hill last week, their steadfast insistence that calls for genocide needed “context” to determine if they were bad or not was insane. These are people who expel students for calling someone with a gravitational pull “fat” and have entire departments under their control to police pronoun use, lest some entitled brat’s latest temper tantrum not be accepted as gospel truth.
But a nuanced “context” is required before judging signs reading “Clean the world” with the Star of David in a trash can. If Hitler had a tattoo, that would probably be it. There’s your context. Well, that and all the threats of violence (and acts of violence) against those with a Jewish sounding name.
Those presidents have since released statements trying to protect their jobs, er, I mean trying to clarify what they meant. “I got caught up in what had become at that point, an extended, combative exchange about policies and procedures…I failed to convey what is my truth,” said Harvard’s President Claudine Gay. But there is no “my truth,” there is only the simple truth that she, seemingly because she was being questioned by a Republican, couldn’t bring herself to condemn calls for genocide against Jews. She seemed to dig in her heels because she was being questioned by a Republican – a “I can’t condemn it because that would be me agreeing with you, and I hate you” mentality common among many on the left.
Penn President Liz Magill eventually released what amounts to a hostage video, reading the statement walking back her refusal to condemn anti-Jewish hate with all the sincerity you’d expect from a child forced to apologize for taking another kid’s toy. She didn’t mean it, she had to do it to try to save her job. It didn’t work, as she resigned a day or two later. Sincerity wouldn’t require a script; heartfelt makes eye contact, it doesn’t focus on the teleprompter under the camera.
These people are unstable. Well-adjusted individuals aren’t ideological slaves to the point that they can’t bring themselves to entertain the idea that they’re wrong; that their opponents have a point. Because they were “called out” by Republicans, their instinct was to recoil and refuse. Children do that, then they grow up. Adults now do it at an alarming rate, and they seem to be on the left.
TikTok is full of adults, though not heads of universities, who work in education and are desperate from external validation. They need strangers to embrace them, to cheer their sexual proclivities, deviant lifestyles and holier-than-thou pronouncements.
How many videos of teachers have you see with “pride” flags all over their classrooms who breakdown because one of their students used whatever garbage words they decided were their pronouns for that day? These people are brought to tears by a 5-year-old picking up on the fact that the pink hair, dozens of facial piercings and constant talk of their “partner” with a name of the same gender means they’re gay. Well, as a father of a 5-year-old, that’s what they do, they pick up on things. It’s not amazing, it’s part of life.
The real problem is these people who ooze details of their pathetic personal lives to kids because they’re desperate for them to pick up on them and repeat them back. Kids aren’t approving or disapproving, they’re incapable of either, they’re just noticing things and saying what they are. That’s what kids do. If that sends you into a crying frenzy, you need help and shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near kids until you get it and it works.
Why do so many unstable people gravitate to education? Because most job titles in it bring with them an inherent sense of authority and trust that people would have to otherwise earn. Teachers know what they’re talking about, right? They’re teachers, after all. University presidents are smart, they’re heads of universities! The same goes for cable news and radio, audiences assume people wouldn’t be on those mediums if they didn’t know what they’re talking about. I can assure you, none of that is close to true. Most of them have no idea what they’re talking about, their “knowledge” base is a mile wide and a half inch deep.
At least you can turn the TV and radio off, education is different in that you really can’t. All you can do is go into it, or send your kids into it, with eyes wide open and know that you may have to undo much of what is done in there.
Not every teacher is a lunatic on social media, breaking down because their students aren’t judging them for attending weekend orgies, and not every university president remains silent if they’re sympathetic to some calls for genocide, but it doesn’t take many to screw up the whole thing.
Greg says
Mentally unstable progressives don’t all gravitate to the institutional swamp known as “education.” Some of them work for Democ-rat Senator Ben Cardin. We know that because at least one of his employees posted a video on the Internet in December 2023 depicting that employee kneeling naked on a conference table in the U.S. Senate chambers and engaged in a male on male sex act which used to be punished as sodomy. The employee groaned as an accomplice pounded his progressive behind. Then again, these progressives might also be involved in “education” since the video could be very instructional to grade-schoolers during “drag queen” hours mandated by mentally unstable Democ-rats at a local elementary school near you.
Huapakechi says
Those of the “progressive” faction gravitate towards politics as well as academia, seeking power to inflict their will and mores on those despicable conservatives.
We should be thankful that this disgusting display of perversion was not performed while a hearing was in session.
TRex says
…then again, there’s always the “closed door” sessions
Seekers says
Notice that the unstable people pictured are women. And we all know that women are more prone to schizophrenia than men.
Anne-Marie Marion says
Ah yes, and Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, John Gacy, Jeffrey Damer, David Berkowitz, plus countless other schizophrenic psychopaths are all… male.
Craig Austin says
Ah yeah, the good old days. Men were men.
Matt Tarango says
Thank God none of those men were teachers or politicians.
-diane french says
Those that can- do those that cannot- teach at the university level
Martin Hutchison says
As Jordan Peterson says, normal men have no response to aggressive women. These hags control HR departments, and thus control both the hiring process and the discipline process- even as they focus discipline on thought crimes against leftism.
SPURWING PLOVER says
The Collages and Unriverties have failed miserably its time to take them back from the left
Ruckweiler says
Mental instability and cognizant deficits seem to be the lot of too many in so-called “education.” these days. Academia is rife, at all levels these days, with people who are just there to indoctrinate and also deprive the students of an actual education.
