I am used to hanging out with anons, who have a clue about the world and how it really works. Going to the realm of academics and intellectuals is a bizarre experience — like hanging out with super-clever morons.
I live in a college town and the teachers, professors and Administration are pretty WOKE.
They think their opinion and way of thinking is the ONLY way to think. If one ever disagrees with them or tries to provide a different perspective they get very nasty and hostile.
One didn't agree with a post of mine that indicated o'Biden was corrupt and seemed to be a bit too interested in little girls. This was before I got kicked off FB.
The 'professor' accused me of spreading conspiracy, posted a poem as a reply to my post indicating that I had 'blood on my hands', discussed my sanity in a group setting and another person in the group called me and suggested that I see a counselor as I clearly wasn't thinking correctly and they were 'worried' about me.
I avoid them like the plague now - which is OK by me. However, I crave having friends who could actually stop by the house for a meal and a good healthy discussion about what is going on in the world.
