Hungary is quickly becoming one of the more important countries in Europe. Having escaped the Soviet Union’s enslavement, it is now a bastion of freedom and stability in Eastern Europe. As a member of the VISEGRAD 4, it has resisted the Islamic incursions demanded by the EU and just recently forced George Soros’ Open Society to leave the country. It is remaking its society based on Christian family and nation focused policies.
One of Hungary’s more interesting decisions involves its treatment of gender studies. A recent Breitbart article states that the country is “discontinuing programs in gender studies at state-run universities after determining the programs serve no identifiable purpose and are based on “ideology rather than science.” —- “Further, there is no demand for gender studies graduates in the Hungarian job market.” — “These programs do nothing to lift up the nation. In fact, they are destroying the values-centered mode of thinking that is still present in the countries of Central Europe”.
Some countries other than Hungary consider gender studies, and for that matter all social justice studies, to be grounded in socialism or fascism – and used to advance multiculturalism, identity politics, open borders, and the elimination of nations. Those countries that oppose the EU dictates increasingly see social justice studies as a direct threat to national governance and the rights of native citizens. Not surprisingly, European nations swamped by immigration and its crime are beginning to become more “Hungarian”. How about closer to home here in America.
The College of William and Mary is working on a requirement to have “social justice” as part of it curriculum. To summarize a “Flat Hat” college newspaper article from May 2018, “All students would be required to take a course dealing with justice and equity and examine at least two key social categories including race, gender ethnicity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, language, religion and disability.” — However, “Social justice is a remarkably amorphous term that includes whatever the user wishes. — The requirement is not political or philosophical orthodoxy. — It is dog-whistle post-modernism, a grab-bag school of thought without a defining characteristic. It is not morally grounded, does not have broad agreement among scholars, and does not represent the beliefs of a plurality of Americans”.
The College of William and Mary also has a social justice fellowship. I quote “The Social Justice and Diversity Graduate Research Fellows program brings together graduate students from across the disciplines in a community to support and promote research in the areas of social justice and diversity. The fellowship will facilitate networking and interdisciplinary collaborations, provide a platform for feedback and mentoring, and create a space where new projects can be discussed and promoted.”
My question is similar to that of the Hungarian government. What purpose is served? What are the jobs available upon graduation? Do these programs lift up the nation? Are they destroying the fundamental values of America? If social justice programs do not prepare students for a productive future in American society, then why are we, the taxpayers, paying to support them? It appears that social justice programs promote grievances not solutions to grievances – and justify harassment and violence in their name. It is time to rethink what is going on in our Virginia Colleges and Universities.

I have begun to realize that many who post here don’t really understand or appreciated one world fascism. This isn’t purely government, it is massive corporations, Facebook, Google, Apple, acting as governments in their own right. This is modern fascism, and it is quite different from the fascism of Mussolini.
In your article, it seems that you “left” out the reason why you are not immigrating to Hungary! Pun intended! Or, did you write this while on the plane to your need home in Hungary?
Left, Right, whatever, we’re stuck with each other. A bunch of donor class, rich, white guys, imported the blacks and beat them with a bull whip to do their work, or, build their house. That same bunch, wrote the Constitution that protects both the Right and Left.
If you build your home on a weak foundation, it will not last. Our home cannot last as it was built on an inferior foundation. Proof of that being that our home is slowly crumbling.
Just look at the elections. Over and over we are now seeing elections with millions or hundreds of thousands of votes being decided by single, double, or triple digits. Common sense is beginning to ask the question, is it possible to have this many elections so very closely decided without corruption being overwhelmingly part of the process.
The answer? NO.
Apparently, you missed the hill article on wiping out the trump plague. The intent by the left is to employ the time honored principles of genocide.
I just wonder, oh wise one, what you would replace the flawed Constitution with.
“…to be grounded in socialism or fascism – and used to advance multiculturalism, identity politics, open borders, and the elimination of nations.”
Ummm…fascism does not advance multiculturalism, open borders, or the elimination of nations…quite the opposite.
Also, social justice need not, in and of itself, generate employment to “prepare students for a productive future in American society”. One can work to achieve a more just society while being a productive citizen. The two are certainly not mutually exclusive.
Today’s global socialism or one world fascism are both totalitarian ideologies at their core. Socialism, communism, fascism, Marxism and progressivism are all predicated on various aspects of state control and the suppression of individual freedoms. (For all intents, these are words that are useful in justifying violence against those you disagree with.)
Antifa is every bit totalitarian and cares not one wit about the niceties of definitions that refer back to an era prior to and during WW2.
Sorry but fascism has at its core extreme nationalism and racism and cares not a wit about wealth distribution or worker equality. You are correct that both sometimes lead to dictatorships this but that does not mean they serve the same ideals. They most certainly do not.
Today’s fascism is extremely globalistic and anti-white racist (so we agree it is racist). In the end, both socialism and fascism require a dictatorial superstate like the EU. They may not claim the same ideals, but the reality in the end is they are the same. You can google the differences between the two – and they are a distinction without a difference in practice.
You know your just making up stuff here. Fascism and socialism are two different and largely opposite ideologies. Socialism does not require a dictator as evidenced by many countries around the world. Further the EU is not a dictatorial superstate (but I’m sure the fascists believe it is).
The Left is socialist and the Left is anti-White.
Exactly, and they’re damn proud of both!
The Right is fascist and the Right is White Supremacy – see I can make stuff up as well.
The entire white privilege and white supremacy mantra was made up a few years ago by leftist like yourself. It was a substitute for the word “racist” that was losing its meaning and impact. Frankly, minority privilege is far more accurate as is minority supremacy (which is very much an Islamic anti-infidel concept).
Yeah, those privileged minorities in the US. Truly unfair!
They enjoy the welfare plantation that leftists would love to impose on all Americans. It is quite unfair that some have to work when they could get all the goodies for nothing. The welfare privilege should be reserved for the minorities – at least that is what you imply.
A previous article had Thomas Jefferson HS with 70% Asian student body. Are they a “privileged” minority in your world, or hard working Americans in mine.
I guess you really don’t get it. I was being sarcastic. I don’t believe that minorities are privileged in the US. It is you who says they are.
And you think I wasn’t being sarcastic. The slave plantations and the welfare plantations are creatures of the leftist mind. Work is freedom in America. Welfare isn’t.
You realize that there are more whites than minorities on welfare. I’m sure
The siren song of something for nothing is always appealing until you realize that it isn’t something for nothing it is just plain nothing. Venezuela is the perfect example of how its citizens were sold the lie and now live the truth. It is happening in Western Europe as we speak. Eventually, it will collapse South Africa as it did Zimbabwe.
Without wealth, there is no creation. Without creation, there is no future. As Thatcher said “The problem with socialism is you eventually run out of other people’s money”. She didn’t add a statement of the horror that occurs when there is no other people’s money. Try famine, disease and anarchy. Or, you could use the four horsemen of the apocalypse – much more colorful.
Well, I suggest you examine the economy of…say…Denmark. Belies your proselytism.
Gee. The argument used to be “see Sweden”. Now it’s “see Denmark”. Well, I did see “Denmark”. Not great for the younger generation. Apparently, they can’t make much of a living except by staying in school. Oh, they have been invaded too but their welfare benefits aren’t quite as good because the Danes put limits and requirements on it. Limits and requirements. I wonder why. Couldn’t have a thing to do with the destruction of wealth and wealth creation. Nah.
Yeah look at those stats. Looks like a sh*thole! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5f3d8067ed2e433a6de32470d9a2235e9e7aed05e53ff1d76716dd68367109e7.jpg
Well, it turns out there was a study (Kepler institute, Linz, 2002) regarding why students in Denmark stay in school. A couple of things pop out: 1. Excellent pay for staying in school is one – graduation age is about 27. 2. Lack of employment opportunities in Denmark because of employment regulations that prevent firings. 3. Finally, because of this, Denmark has switched their birth control policies to pro-family and pro-pregnancy. Turns out the Danes have their first child at about 29+, and half of fertility is gone. 1 in 10 births involve in vitro fertilization. (Oh, I am not including the invaders and neither does Denmark in the statistics I have seen.)
And yet your “study” conclusions are not born out in the unemployment stats for Denmark. Go figure!
Actually, they do. Students don’t get counted in employment stats. Danes seeking work outside the country don’t get counted. Obviously, the invaders don’t get counted. The personal tax rate is over 50% and that doesn’t include the VAT. As I said previously, they have so debilitated their society with the wonders of socialism that the young aren’t getting married and having sufficient children to keep the society viable. So, what do they do? Allow the importation of people who won’t support Danish society. At least the Danes, unlike the Swedes,have put a limit on political stupidity.
The 27 year age you cite is average age at completing a masters (it is down now from 29 a couple years ago). You know what the average graduate student age in the US is? 33.
Again, unemployment figures match ours. Age of graduation is lower. Economically, Denmark is strong and solid. They are #1 in the world in satisfaction with life rating. You know where we are? 23! Hanging out with Venezuela!
Have you ever asked yourself why we have fallen so far? Virtually every tradition that has upheld this country has been trashed by social justice warriors such as yourself. You undermine religion, work, history and government, and yet you are utterly unable to do anything but double down on failure and complain as the decline continues. If we are hanging out with Venezuela, it is because of you.
As far as Denmark is concerned, I simple quoted from a study which I referenced. If it was a decade ago, you would have been quoting Sweden as your model of happiness, now you quote Denmark. In another decade it won’t make a difference because of the multicultural world war that you started.
I feel sorry for the young folks who have been led to hate their country and themselves. You have a lot to account for and we shall see if the lies of the left are sufficient to overcome the american spirit.
Interesting that you think it has nothing to do with kids being gunned down at school, movie theaters, sporting events, etc. It can’t be that we lead the developed world in death by handguns. Not due to the fact that we spend way more than the rest of the world on per capita healthcare yet 30 Million still have no insurance. It can’t have anything to due with the ever increasing gap between the haves and have nots. Not because corporations own all our politicians and the SCOTUS says they are people and have the same rights as do we the people. No, it’s all because of a boogie man made up by the right wing media – there’s a war on Christmas! That’s the problem.
You mistake cause and effect. Everything you mention is an effect of your leftist policies. You have worked diligently to eliminate morality via religion from the public square and you wonder why there are so many feral kids running around and killing each other. You have diligently worked to undermine the family, substituting the state welfare system for moms and dads. You think that people who create wealth should be forced to give it up so you raise taxes and expand regulations – and then wonder why the economy suffers. Through your open border policies, you have not only damaged the American worker but created the conditions that encourage illegality throughout the nation. (And don’t give me it’s for the children because that is a horrendous lie that you created for political purposes.)
Regarding Sweden. The police in their 4th largest city have thrown in the towel admitting they cannot control the invaders. Their aFs party. which was literally non existent a couple of years ago, is poised to take something like 25% of the vote if not more. (Facebook, at the request of the governing politicians, has removed all aFs commentary. I am sure you approve of such censorship even while posting freely here.)
“You have worked diligently to eliminate morality via religion from the public square and you wonder why there are so many feral kids running around and killing each other.”
Your conclusion does not bear up to scrutiny. If this were a cause and effect situation then all secular liberal countries would be faced with this issue. They aren’t. Therefore, there is no causal relationship.
Regarding Sweden… IF what you say is true (your rhetoric does not stand up well when challenged so that’s a big IF), they still rank higher than the US.
Our Constitution was made wholly for a moral and religious people. It is utterly inadequate for any other. John Adams.
To see the blazing anti-white hatred of progressives in force just look at the reaction to Trumps tweet about the anti-white South African land seizures and farm murders.

They are PISSED he even mentioned it. to them whites only deserve dispossession, humiliation, persecution, and death.
Apparently, the Hill just published an article about eliminating the Trump Plague. This is an appeal to genocide that fits perfectly with the Left. Amazingly, the genocidal slaughters in the past hundred years have taught nothing. The difference in America is the 2nd amendment.
Only in your twisted imagination. It does, however, put me in the very comfortable position of supporting the article you cited. The premise is as follows:
“There is a cancer upon us. It is up to Americans to cut it out at the voting booth in November by getting rid of the GOP leaders and members of Congress who have helped it metastasize.”
Couldn’t agree more!!
“Voters must eradicate the Trump Plague from American Politics” is the Hill headline. Then you go on to quote the absolutely incendiary commentary where “at the voting booth” is conveniently added for cover. Sorry, but you and I both know that physical violence is being pitched every day and this simply encourages more of it – cancer, cut it out, getting rid of, metastasize. This is not the language of the loyal opposition but of an enemy bent on destruction.
Of course you are comfortable. It is the language of the violent left.
You need to go to the University of Colorado – Boulder. You can get studies to back up your position. New course in Critical Whiteness, obviously perfect. Of course, how you will use the info is a rather interesting question as it appears it will just provide more grievances to your litany of grievances. Make sure you put it on your resume.
The EU is an unelected body. Xi, Maduro, Castro, Mugabe. I can actually provide facts. You just throw out disconnected thoughts.
No matter how hard you try misinformed opinions are not actually facts.
I keep trying to tell Eric that but he just won’t listen. By the way, everything said in the paragraph you replied to is fact. Easy to check out.
Your entire comment is disconnected thoughts. Perhaps you need to collect them and start again. Every unelected body is not a dictatorial superstate, btw. If the EU were such, UK would be incapable of leaving so there goes that wacko theory. I will repeat, socialism does not require dictatorship. There are many fully democratic socialist states. And socialism is not fascism.
Democratic socialism is an oxymoron.
W&M missed a category in their ruthless effort for justice and equity – American.
