“Social desirability” is a manmade construct, designed, created, and delivered through educational institutions and the mind-controlling avenues of media. Left-wing ownership of all media, and (increasingly radical) left-wing infiltration of lower and higher education have shaped ideologies.

EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Thursday, January 10, 1963.

Here are published communist goals numbered 15 through 21.

——————————

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

————————————-

As you can see, the U.S., which his the world’s last bastion of liberty, is well on its way to a full communist takeover. I predict this to be the catalyst for the New World Order, in which an elite .01% will rule the world.

I also predict that most of those who currently believe this is the right direction for humanity will live to rue any part they played in its downfall.

This, my friend, is circular reasoning. Richard Hanania's explanation, weak as it is due to its conflation of cause and consequence, is till better than this.

"Left-wing views have always had high cache in academia and elite media."

Not before the New Deal.

I don't think funding is very important, either. The libertarians had a lot of funding and mostly blew it. Likewise, the current leftwing spiral did not arise with a large amount of funding.

"This means that the best writers and opinionators will tend to lean left to a higher degree."

I think this explanation is extremely weak, though has a grain of truth to it at the present time. Even if this is true today, for how long was this true?
