Breeding Sheep

Gregor Mendel

Gregor Mendel should have bred ideologies. Adherents to opposing doctrines come out like roses. Multiculturalism, for example, places itself firmly against the canon, the same syllabus of white male humanistic philosophy that has created the liberal order, as does Retrumplicanism which attempts to crush universities, under the guise of fighting anti-semitism. Higher education is a threat for many reasons, but primarily in the way it upholds constitutionalism with its emphasis on due process and inalienable rights. Revolution in most cases favors the ends over the means and hence often finds itself sharing a similar dismissal of the democratic order as the very despots it seeks to overthrow. One cannot but remark that the Ice agents and those they arrest have one thing in common--they both wear masks.
