Was Allan Bloom right about higher education? If not, who was?

There is no denying that institutions of higher education generally mold minds in service to the state and corporations. There is an international cult of secular neoliberalism which presents itself as enlightened progressivism while upholding zionist genocide against the Muslim world.

The most recent protests and illegal zio-fascist crackdowns of citizens exercising their right to speech and assembly proves this beyond doubt. We can no longer deny that the zionists have captured our government, military, media, academia, banks, and corporations as we have clear and controversial evidence of this.

America is no longer a free country, we live under zionist fascism.

The Global War on Terrorism has killed 4.5 million people so far, it is a genocide on the scale of the Holocaust yet its perpetrators remain in power. It is a genocide of the Christians in the Holy Land as well, a continuation of the 1948 Nakba.

What would you do if you lived under the nazi regime while it was perpetuating its genocide? Would you lash out in violence like John Brown? I think the wisest course is to preach revolution.

Why do Americans hate Muslims? I think the answer is obvious: 9/11. Speaking as an American Muslim myself.

As we approach yet another anniversary of 9/11, I believe it is important to share this clear evidence which undeniably disproves the official government narrative of the attacks.

Here is the footage which shows beyond all doubt the controlled demolition of Seven World Trade Center along with the peer-reviewed scientific research published by the University of Alaska Fairbanks which confirms this, disproving the official state narrative of 9/11.

9/11, much like the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, was a false flag attack in order to lead America into war for the benefit of zionist imperialism. To invade its neighbors in Palestine which it dreams to conquer.

Revolution is in itself justice for 9/11. Wrestling control of the 9/11 narrative with the help of this smoking gun is paramount to achieving justice for this horrific and traumatic crime.

I consider it as a holy duty to protect my people from genocidal imperialism and to liberate my beloved nation from tyranny. I was also traumatized by 9/11 and it led to the death of American Muslims like myself.

I am an American like you, and on the subject of 9/11 I can testify to you that my brothers in Gaza and Iraq believe it was evil and the work of zionists. I can also testify on the Koran that attacks of this nature are forbidden and condemn a Muslim to Hell.

>zionist genocide against the Muslim world.
While this is bad and I distance myself from it, I would also add that there was also a mohammadan genocide against my people.

The best of both worlds is where both sides of the zionist-jihadi conflict could destroy themselves, and everyone remaining realizes both ideologies (of mohammadanism and talmudism) are equally evil and wrong and based on false prophets. Then, we fully get our land back. I believe Christ will cause this to happen, just as He has preserved God's people from contamination by both sides of that conflict.

>if you lived under the nazi regime while it was perpetuating its genocide?
The nazi regime was actually implementing the zionist agenda. That's what the Haavara agreement was for. What the original nazis opposed was communism. Their leadership willingly promoted zionism however and paid to move people who they thought were Jews to Palestine.

>Would you lash out in violence like John Brown?
No. Because the truth doesn't require violence to prevail.
>I think the wisest course is to preach revolution.
No, that is retarded.

>to lead America into war for the benefit of zionist imperialism.
Mohammadism is equally as bad.
>I can testify to you that my brothers in Gaza and Iraq believe it was evil and the work of zionists.
Mohammadism is equally as bad.
>I can also testify on the Koran that attacks of this nature are forbidden and condemn a Muslim to Hell.
Mohammadans' words are meaningless since they practice Taqiyya and Kitman. Their teachings literally endorse lying, just like Mohammad did with the satanic verses.

Basically, the idea of classical education has been mired in subjectivism. I think Max Weber warned of this in "Science As A Vocation"

The past fifteen years have shown what fruits your sort bears. You are not one of us. You and your kind dare to have the temerity to suckle at the welfare teat of the West and attack it and weaken it at every opportunity. You and your kind deserve Zion in your midst.

I'll try to help if I can. Zionism is the other faction, the counterpart to Communism. It originated with Moses Hess, when he tried to redefine what Judaism was in terms of race, and he tried to use more scientific terminology to do so. He differed from Marx, who wanted to understand everything in terms of economic class instead. In the end, both views are pseudoscience.

In the later 19th century and 20th century, the concepts of zionism were developed by others, including those who thought they were opposing it by adopting its terms, such as Nietzsche who was influenced by Hess and other zionists. In turn his work, and many of its unspoken assumptions and premises influenced the Nazi movement which also unquestioningly accepted some of the premises upon which zionism had been based.

This is why they were funded into political fame by wealthy proponents of the ideology at the time, and why they agreed to the Haavara Agreement. After WW2 they were rewritten into comic book villains so as to distance them from the ideology that they clearly upheld, because by then they had "served their purpose," so to speak.

I of course personally question these premises, as I do not think these people even have a real connection (whether biological, or in any other respect) to the 1st century Jews. I justifiably believe they are an entirely separate phenomenon, merely pretending to be successors or descendants of an ancient group that actually has absolutely nothing to do with them. They certainly do not follow any aspect the Bible either, either the Old or the New Testament. Everything they do is exclusively from something called the Babylonian Talmud, or from even later writings that were influenced by that. Basically, the claimed connection to the authentic, biblical Jews is fake.
