Paul1405,

Echoes of C. Wright Mills' 'The Power Elite'.

Have you caught 'On Becoming A God In Central Florida' TV series with Kirsten Dunst still streaming on SBS until end October?

It's binge worthy.

It is a left thing Paul.

It's the left that inhabit the DC swamp. privilege & academia wallowing together, with their greeny accomplices.

It is the left who long to form an aristocracy, With Hillary to follow Bill, & now some idiots suggesting Michelle to Barack Obama. The last thing a country is any one who has so little taste that they could marry either of them.

Of course some idiots could imagine academic prowess is similar to actual real world savvy. Now that would be disastrous.

I think there's a serious problem for people to see the huge difference between the few valuable & real Academics & Scholars & the countless Uni indoctrinated who also call themselves Academics but aren't anywhere near that calibre. Just like their predecessors of yesteryear, the Tories !
I think Academia needs to come up with a more proper description to distance itself from the many pointless & increasingly unaffordable Pseudo-Academics who give everyone a bad name !

pseudo-individual,

Are you speaking from experience?

Or did this come to you in a dream?

Individual,

Could you please be more specific and tell us who
you are referring to as "pseudo academics" and ones
who in your opinion are "real academics". Kindly
explain the differences. Also what do you mean by
the term - "academic"?

Hasbeen,

Could you also explain who are the "Left" who inhabit
the DC swamp? And why do you think that Hilary Clinton
or Michelle Obama are academics?

Kindly explain.
