I have been trying for decades to get my fellow Democrats to realize how unchecked bureaucracy, in government or academe, is inherently authoritarian and illiberal. A persistent characteristic of civilizations in decline throughout history has been their self-strangling by slow, swollen, and stupid bureaucracies. The current atrocity of crippling student debt in the US is a direct product of an unholy alliance between college administrations and federal bureaucrats — a scandal that ballooned over two decades with barely a word of protest from our putative academic leftists, lost in their post-structuralist fantasies. Political correctness was not created by administrators, but it is ever-expanding campus bureaucracies that have constructed and currently enforce the oppressively rule-ridden regime of college life.
ka-BOOM!!!

Those of you who have never read her stuff need to. She has some incredible perspectives/opinions regarding society and politics.
She abhors PC was well as the nanny state as to its treatment of women and sexuality.
She's pretty much sympatico with Christina Hoff Sommers (someone else you should read if you haven't) regarding the terrible war being waged on young men.

I miss real Liberals. We need them now more than ever.

CP is also furious about the emasculating and feminization of boys.

Remarkable passage re: her thoughts on Jordan Peterson. I’m genuinely impressed.
quote:
There’s a lot of buzz about the ‘intellectual dark web’. One of its leading figures is Jordan Peterson, who is in some ways like you — he provokes, he works in an array of disciplines, he encourages individual responsibility. I saw your podcast with him. What did you make of him? Why is he so popular?
There are astounding parallels between Jordan Peterson’s work and mine. In its anti-ideological, trans-historical view of sex and nature, my first book, Sexual Personae (1990), can be viewed as a companion to Peterson’s first book, Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief (1999). Peterson and I took different routes up the mountain — he via clinical psychology and I via literature and art — but we arrived at exactly the same place. Amazingly, over our decades of copious research, we were drawn to the same book by the same thinker — The Origins and History of Consciousness (1949), by the Jungian analyst Erich Neumann. (My 2005 lecture on Neumann at New York University is reprinted in Provocations.) Peterson’s immense international popularity demonstrates the hunger for meaning among young people today. Defrauded of a genuine humanistic education, they are recognizing the spiritual impoverishment of their crudely politicized culture, choked with jargon, propaganda, and lies.
I met Peterson and his wife Tammy a year ago when they flew to Philadelphia with a Toronto camera crew for our private dialogue at the University of the Arts. (The YouTube video has had to date over a million and a half views.) Peterson was incontrovertibly one of the most brilliant minds I have ever encountered, starting with the British philosopher Stuart Hampshire, whom I heard speak impromptu for a dazzling hour after a lecture in college. In turning psychosocial discourse back toward the syncretistic, multicultural Jung, Peterson is recovering and restoring a peak period in North American thought, when Canada was renowned for pioneering, speculative thinkers like the media analyst Marshall McLuhan and the myth critic Northrop Frye. I have yet to see a single profile of Peterson, even from sympathetic journalists, that accurately portrays the vast scope, tenor, and importance of his work.

A true scholar and intellectual. This is a person who values thought and reason, and examines facts over emotional BS.
There is nothing she said I can find that I disagree with.

No need to mince words. What she means is that there is nothing distinguished, cultured or educated about refusing to learn about belief systems you yourself don’t adhere to.
Yea the “cultured and educated” left in reality is the opposite. They think their narrow world view is right and seek to enforce it on everyone via any means necessary.

Not surprised. Paglia is an "old school" democrat, with little patience for the current crop of SJW proggies that are in control of the party.

It's interesting reading that on this board. Whenever I share a conservative opinion here, I'm told by the right-wing ideologues that I can't have that opinion because I'm a liberal. It literally just happened this afternoon.
The right-wing ideologues here don't believe there are any moderates, apparently if you hold one liberal belief, you are a communist, and can't hold conservative beliefs.

Camille is a lesbian who actually likes Alpha males.
It goes back to her studies of the heroes in ancient Greek and Roman literature. She was asked if any heroic movie star really captured the qualities of those heroes. She said 'Kirk Douglas in the 1950s and 60s.'
