Revisiting a previous post on the expressed tolerance for violence as a means of achieving a better society, another interesting demographic angle I didn’t cover now jumps out at me. The idea of using violence is far more popular among those with college educations than among those without one. Percentages, by age and educational attainment, who agree that “to achieve my idea of a better society, violent acts are acceptable”:
As the startling graph shows, this is not simply due to a higher percentage of younger people relative to older people both having college degrees and supporting violence. Millennials and Zeds who’ve gone through the post-modern university system are far, far more inclined towards the use of violence than those who have steered clear of academia. Among older generations, the trend moves modestly in the opposite direction, with the more educated expressing greater opposition to violence than their less educated cohorts.
Contemporary higher education is Western civilization’s fifth column. It indebts our young people. It marinates them in a violent hatred of their past and of their present in order to deprive them of their future. And it doesn’t just steal their future by turning them into civilizational sappers–it reduces their lifetime fertility more than anything else in society.
Its collapse–which is coming–cannot come soon enough.

European univerisities are much less luxiriant than American universities.
Most European students don't live in "on-campus" housing, the Oxbridge "residential colleges" are just as uncommon over there as they are here.
European students can't as easily switch the area of study as Americans can.
European professors do less research and more teaching than American professors. Arguably a plus.
Griggs v Duke Power was never enacted in Europe, so the signalling power of a degree is not as needed. Less Europeans go to college than White Americans on a per capita basis.

European universites are exam-based admissions. None of the A/A crap or the "holistic" admissions.Replies: @g2k

It’s also because this is precisely the generation whose elites have not experienced real violence, be it war or criminal- usually black – violence on the street. Their only exposure is through video games.
These shits today have no clue what violence means. Kids don’t brawl on elementary school playgrounds or meet off school grounds after school for ass-beatings anymore. They press buttons on their gaming controllers and shout threats at their tv screens. They’ve never heard the unique and unforgettable sound of a bat or pipe striking a skull. Never seen a best friend with pressure relief drain in his noodle due to cranial swelling. Never driven a pal to the ER with stab wounds. Hell, except for hick farm boys, they’ve never killed anything bigger than an insect.
There’s never been a more coddled and sheltered population. The first time they hear a gun report on their left and a bullet strike on their right they’ll collapse in a puddle of their own terror piss. Even our cops today are massive pussies terrified to even risk an ass-beating - the root cause of the cop shooting unarmed people problem.
My hunch is that late Boomer and Gen X parents raised kids to be the opposite of what they themselves were like in the 70's-90's. Oh, and actual incidents of school violence were highest in the mid-late 70's, although the number of high profile 1990's school shootings distorted our perception of school violence (e.g., there were a lot of "mundane" beatings and knifings in the 70's that generally did not become big stories, while a handful of assholes picking off people with guns in the 90's-present day is treated like real serious business, probably to play up the gun control angle). My dad, born in 1960, says that even in his smaller town 100%white high school, at least 10% of the kids acted like animals in the late 70's, which frightened and frustrated the older generations who served as teachers and administrators.
As Heartiste and others point out, net-net, higher education for women costs society more than it is worth.
For the 15% of women who do useful work in jobs that are not make-work (say, nurses, etc.), there are another 85% of women who lower productivity at best, and persecute productivity at worst.
If AE did a gender split of his graph, we would see an even more precise picture of who believes what.

I’m shocked at how infantile most of my fellow university students are. Occasionally, when I have to take an elective in psychology, or other arts fields, I’m shocked to see how immature these students are. There aren’t grown ups. These aren’t young men, or women. These are kids – and rather than growing up to get through the university system, the university system changes to baby them through.
In the STEM field, things are different. You see young men and women forming, and reading to become productive citizens. Even the non-whites are much more grown up than the white arts students, though they suffer from a huge inferiority complex and feel like they have no home, ultimately aping black culture. Naturally, the finest young people are young white people coming out of STEM programs, or working in the trades.
But when you see some of these baby face white students in the arts, you just want to slap them across the face. Wake up! Man up! Their ancestors were WW2 fighters, new world conquerors and explorers. Never had to deal with hardship.
So while I have no doubt that the support for violence is higher among these clowns, it amounts more to throwing a temper tantrum because evil mean Drumpf was elected – rather than a plan for carrying out serious, radical violence.

When I was a kid about 40 years or so ago, I was visiting Swamp City DC and I was given a choice of shirts to buy as a memento of the trip. I chose to get a Confederate Battle Flag short-sleeved shirt. Back then, the Confederate Battle Flag was no big deal. It is a cool flag with great colors and a striking pattern.
Trump is a New York City shyster boy with very little connection to the historic American nation.
I have at least one ancestor who fought in the Civil War on the Confederate side for the state of Tennessee and at least one who fought in the American Colonial Secessionary War against the British Empire.
Trump has stabbed the historic American nation in the back by pushing mass legal immigration.
Trump has sided with the mass legal immigration extremists who want to flood the United States with foreigners.
Trump has sided with Shelly Adelson and Jared Kushner and the globalizers and the GOP Cheap Labor Faction on mass legal immigration.
Trump will not advance the interests of the European Christian ancestral core of the United States.
I would love to defend the honor and memory of the Confederate veterans of the Civil War by standing with those who will protect the Confederate statues and monuments from the nation-wrecking scum who want to tear them down.
I hereby challenge New York City Shyster Boy Trumpy to a debate on mass legal immigration, illegal immigration, American national identity, foreign policy and the honor and dignity of the Confederate veterans.

I suggest that Whites and Asians not bother sending their sons or daughters to college any more.

I agree with Iffen’s point with regard to coming up with explanations. Would this graph have looked the same in 1980? How about 1968? I kinda doubt it would have in 1980, but in 1968, maybe likely.

I suspect the expressed support for violence and having an actual relationship with violence in any serious sense are inversely correlated. Trained fighters aren’t the ones hitting people with bike locks.
Late Boomers and early Gen X-ers showed a major capacity for individual violence in the 70's and 80's, yet terrorism and riots declined precipitously in the late 70's and 80's.
The cycle is showing up again, with those born in the 90's and 2000's enjoying domestic tranquility WRT little street crime or domestic violence, yet these days they are showing signs of being willing to commit mob and politically oriented violence. It's strange that Charles Murray says that rising crime levels in downscale communities is a sign of social and political decay, when in reality street crime levels appear to be heavily correlated to generational factors, with the youth of late Boomers and Gen X-ers causing crime levels to reach record highs in the late 70's-early 90's. Meanwhile, Millennials and esp. Gen Z actually caused crime to plunge in the late 90's-present day, regardless of whatever political/cultural/financial problems we may have dealt with at the time.
In any case US students being tolerant of the idea of violence makes perfect sense. Our society is awash in violent imagery
On top of that the US has been spending decades arming up for one and for two, university students are young, unattached often these days to a pathological degree and three they are filled with purpose, the one thing the Universities do well
Also the less educated are almost always rooted in society these days, working , trying to build a family or just get by . Idealism isn't going to be a thing for them
Many are also Conservative I suspect and outside Dissident/Alt circles the idea of ideology is borderline Orwellian Crime Think
That weakness is why the Right has no power, they don't have any idea of what they want and are terrified of discussing it much less doing anything about it
The Left suffers from no such problems and while what they want is often unattainable or foolish they are often willing to take it by force which speaks well of them.

I would hardly call European universities spartan. A lot of the stuff universities provide in the states is provided by municipal governments anyway. One subject is typically picked and studied all the way through. I only know about stem here, which seems like less of a breeding ground for sjwism in America anyway, but, the big difference in Germany is how darwinian they are about throwing people out who get bad marks; I think the figure for maths is around 40%. That kind of regime is unthinkable with high tuition fees, and with that hanging over them, it kind of puts ‘microagressions’ into perspective. Screaming in a prof’s face for not creating a ‘place of comfort and home’ rings hollow if you’re likely to be turfed out in a couple of months for poor performance. Profs typically have a take it or leave it approach when it comes to teaching and generally don’t interact much with undergrads any more than they’re contractually obliged to. Salaries are low though, so the big advantage of the us system is that it can pay star salaries to star performers.
I suspect by ‘violence’ the students mean something like ‘punch Nazis’.
It would somewhat surprise me if they really knew what civil war was like (e.g., Lebanon). I’d say a small group would really be prepared, as with Lenin, to dispose of large numbers of people who disagreed with them.
I was told by one of my supervisors (German with PhD from Max Planck and a few years at Tech Univ Munich as a professor) that the problem with Germany for grad school is that the professors don’t have the same power to select students. You get students who are paid salary but who can float. Something about the quality control seemed to bother him, but I didn’t press for details.

A good film illustration of this point is “A History of Violence” with Viggo Mortensen.
I suspect the expressed support for violence and having an actual relationship with violence in any serious sense are inversely correlated.
Maybe as violent actors themselves, but they are a ready source of enablers and followers of those that do commit to actual violence.
According to the Youth Risk Behavior survey (which is easy to find and search online), which is a goldmine of data as to what kids are actually up to, things like getting into fights, bringing a weapon to school, and so forth, have been declining heavily since the early 2000’s among high school age kids. And there’s been year over year improvements basically every year since about 1997.
My hunch is that late Boomer and Gen X parents raised kids to be the opposite of what they themselves were like in the 70’s-90’s.

Why should one go to University to study nursing – a fantastic profession – but one best learned as a trainee? Is there a “theory of nursing” that one needs to study hours a day with academics? This mad push to make degrees necessary for everything only serves to raise the barriers of entry to adulthood. Other professions that shouldn’t need degrees include stock market trader, primary school teacher, military officer, government bureaucrat, most corporate jobs etc etc etc.
Similarly, Computer Science can be learned through inexpensive online courses, as it is the field that needs an in-person classroom setting the least.
One of my childhood friends had an older sister who ended up going to the same university as me (a Top 30 in the midwest). Their parents were immigrants from East Germany, and had a couple of Olympic medalists among their cousins. She studied nursing. I didn't stay in touch with her, but years later, due to the wonders of the Facebook age, I see that she married a guy who owns a farm in South Carolina, and has 9 children. The farm isn't large, but that is a great setting for 9 kids. I don't personally know anyone else in my generation who has more than four kids.

There does seem to be a preference for individual or collective violence, by generation. Late Silents and early Boomers had relatively little experience with individual violence in their 40’s,50’s and 60’s youth (street fights, crime, domestic violence), yet showed a large capacity for collective violence (riots, bombings, protests, mob violence, politically/goal-oriented violence) in the 60’s and early 70’s.

The young have always been the troops for revolutions older generations had devised. What, I think, is different here (apart from the fact that technology matters even more than before- see Omdurman casualties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Omdurman ) is that those questioned are, on average, not capable nor courageous enough to engage in real fight.
Now, you can count on Chinese, Russian,…. youth to fight for what they perceive as “valid cause” (although, not blindly like Palestinian Arabs or similar races/ethnicities).
With regard to American youth, any race (white, black, Hispanic, Asian)- they would have run like rabbits when confronted with real danger.

The biggest mistake we ever made was decoupling voting from tax-paying (back in the day, the criteria was land ownership, but taxpaying works as a modern equivalent).
That is the way to exclude a lot of women from voting without explicitly stating it as such. Most existing jobs that women occupy would slowly vanish. Black men would be forced to do legitimate work (and thus be able to vote, but there would not be as pernicious of a recipient of their votes as modern Democrats, since about 90% of women would not be eligible to vote over time).

They don’t all have to engage in it. They just have to find it perfectly acceptable when someone else gives you a depressed skull fracture with a bike lock (from behind, because you’ll be outnumbered and unsupported — because our side never learns anything, ever). They just have to agree that it’s what you had coming, because you’re an accused racist — so they can happily keep voting for the local Democrats who make sure that the local cops let Antifa operate freely. They just have to be the prosecutor who always decides there’s never enough evidence to press charges against any leftist wearing a ski mask. They just have to be the IT guy who finds unz.com in your browser history. They just have to be the FBI agents who “resist” free and fair elections.
This is real. The leftmost half of young college grads believes it’s ok for someone to break your legs because of who they think you voted for, and those are the ones who will go into government. This is real. It’s real, and it’s serious. It’s a bitch to think about, but it’s coming right at us. The mainstream left is getting crazier every year.
Most people (erroneously) think that political revolutions start and are supported from the “bottom-up”.
Nothing could be further from the truth…
Almost every communist-inspired revolution has been supported by college students, their leftist professors and a certain part of the “intelligentia”.
Society gets turned “upside-down” with the support of those who are least likely to be “oppressed”, most college students with means.
Teachers (not-left-wing), business owners, those who display “real” intelligence, and those who are truthful in their words and deeds are targeted for destruction.
All one has to do is look at the communist revolutions of Russia, Cambodia, Laos and China to see who was “targeted” for destruction.

Falling back to historical figures and symbols is a rearguard action that hasn’t conserved much of anything over the last sixty years, so it strikes me as unrealistic to think it will work in the future. The time for even trying is running out. The founding fathers and the stars and stripes will become hate objects in my lifetime, I’ve no doubt about it.

One of my childhood friends had an older sister who ended up going to the same university as me (a Top 30 in the midwest). Their parents were immigrants from East Germany, and had a couple of Olympic medalists among their cousins. She studied nursing. I didn't stay in touch with her, but years later, due to the wonders of the Facebook age, I see that she married a guy who owns a farm in South Carolina, and has 9 children. The farm isn't large, but that is a great setting for 9 kids. I don't personally know anyone else in my generation who has more than four kids.
So she never worked as a Nurse, but that is perhaps the best education that can prepare a woman for a life of 9 kids.Replies: @MarkinLA

Coding is only step one in a career in computer science. The higher levels are unlikely to come to the self taught without a lot of flailing around. The higher positions require the ability to design complex systems with a lot of interconnected parts. Of course, some of that can come from experience while working at some company. However, it helps to have some familiarity with the concepts in general.

It was for me, but then I identify with the protagonist played by Mortensen. It’s a bit unrealistic in my view insofar as all the old friends dragging one back into the life years later. All my friends from that chapter of life were either dead or in prison by their 40’s. The central point that survivors will go out of their way to avoid resurrecting the beast within them is however pretty spot on I think. You see it with war veterans in the same way.

Yes… I retired from the military in ’96 and can attest that during the 80s and 90s, commissioned officers, of whom the vast majority had Bachelors’ Degrees, were encouraged to study in off-hours at local universities to acquire Masters’ Degrees. I served with a tiny few who had come up from the ranks, with no degree, and noted no deficiency in performance.
Those fields are difficult for anybody to be self taught at. While junior officers and field commanders may not get anything out of advanced engineering degrees, the guys responsible for overseeing the military contractors benefit from it.
Diploma nurses,i.e.,those trained on the job in hospitals, out performed “school based” nurses on national board exams for years. Not sure such training hospitals still exist. They were real live-in boot camps.

I fail to see why you are resisting this necessary disruption of higher education. You are effectively arguing that a $60K program is to be preserved in favor of a $7K program that is just as good if not better.
I’m almost to the point where things just need to be burned the fuck down. Like get it over with already.
BTW, that “student-loan-hero” site is a sales site for loan consolidation or something. Forget it.
But where do I fall into this? I’m a college-educated 25 year old who believes that the “Federal” Government started this cycle of bloodshed.
This is very true. Many of the best Civil War generals had opposed the coming of the war. In fact, among the highest-ranking Confederates, the following all either personally opposed secession or were skeptical of it:
– Robert E. Lee
– Wade Hampton
– James Longstreet
– Braxton Bragg
– Joseph E. Johnston
Off the top of my head, mind you!
Only a few army and corps commanders, no one special! LOL
It matters not that in your generational cohort that the Battle Flag was not seen as inflammatory. In my cohort it is indelibly linked with resistance to Civil Rights and the Charleston SC killings.
The Confederacy wanted to import more slaves.

The thing I hate most about the Neo-Confederates is that they act like we’re supposed to ignore the reality of Judah P. Benjamin.

So, that’s what they get for staying glued to their phones watching and reading the Lyin’ Press half the day. Where are you going to draw the line with regard to the destruction of history, #216?
Oh, I just noticed Mr. Porsena’s reply.

It isn’t “just as good” if you are not on campus working on the research projects the professors are working on. It is a glorified BS. It is better than nothing but don’t equate it with real graduate student level work and I say that as someone who himself did not do real graduate student level work.

That would be the mis-guided group.
