        I'd like to say this surge in divisive "SocJus" rhetoric is confined to the NY Times, but it isn't. Divisive and reductive racial and gender ideologies, all of which emanate from academia, are being injected into our national conversations across the social liberal news industry.pic.twitter.com/AsnZ6p7R68

        I'd also like to believe we're dealing with *actual* liberals here, that the rhetoric comes from a place of good faith and is about more than just a calculated/learned strategy intent on dividing people for electoral/financial purposes. Sadly, this map makes me believe otherwise.pic.twitter.com/KdpYWTfFi9

        The former champions of the poor, “the left", are now more likely to be found racially disparaging them (and arguably for electoral gain). This would be less tragic if it weren't for the fact the group “white people” comprises more people in poverty than any other ethnic group.pic.twitter.com/oj3wWYeJmv

        So, how big is the “progressive activist” faction? 8% of the American population. However, it has a disproportionate influence: its proponents are far more likely to earn over $100k than the average citizen and its also one of the “whitest” political factions in the country.pic.twitter.com/E6Wl5J1VKO

        Contrary to popular perceptions, 2% of Republican voters earn over $250k per year (Democrats assume it's 44%). Those earning over $250k per year were 2:1 more likely to vote Clinton than Trump (Ipsos July 2016 Affluent Barometer).

        This same group tends to predominate on Twitter and its views differ markedly from other Democrats. Furthermore, the echo chamber is strengthened by Democrats being 3x more likely than Republicans to unfriend someone due to political affiliation. http://fortune.com/2016/12/19/social-media-election/ …pic.twitter.com/UPlbU05caT

        Of course, the radicalization isn't confined to national media. As progressives takeover the orthodoxy and move further left, they increasingly characterize "the right's" position as extreme. Congress is following the trend.pic.twitter.com/iHB5RN6ziA

        I suspect, as per above, this is in large part due to academia being disproportionately populated by social liberals. In some social science fields (eg, social psychology), as many as 89% of academics identify as left-of-center, and 2.5% as right-of-centerhttps://heterodoxacademy.org/new-study-finds-conservative-social-psychologists/ …

        The same survey questioned whether respondents voted Obama/Romney: Obama 95%, Romney 1% and other 4% . Some studies put the overall left-right distribution across academia at 6:1 (in New England the ratio has gone from 2:1 in 1989 to 28:1 in 2014), others place it closer to 12:1.

        Despite these institutional problems, we’ve seen a surge in the number of young people going to college in recent years, rather than going straight into the workforce.

We can debate the extent to which college influences young peoples’ political ideas, however there is no debate on the extent to which social liberal perspectives predominate.https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/07/college-bubble-ends/534915/ …
