This has existed for a good while, a lot of right wing types are the sportsball retards and people that see learning about the past as retarded. they will be able to tell you all the latest gossip on their favorite sportsball nigger though. You had this made worse by e-right influencers pushing the idea that going to college was stupid, and they should just do a trade. it isn't shocking that the left wing has locked down colleges, and ngos and stuff.
Nothing wrong with a trade skill, nothing wrong with enjoying sports, but there is a lot wrong with abandoning higher learning and a lifelong pursuit of knowledge. Learning a little about history will explain to you what is going on in the world today. learning a little philosophy will help you understand why what is going on is going on. read a little goethe or schopenhauer, and you'll have a better understanding of things. or shit, just read up on some world history, or some US history. It's amazing stuff, our world was shaped by amazing men (and women)
