Jordan Peterson makes this point.

If doe-eyed suburbanites who moved into roach-infested apartments in Teh Big CIty, when they moved out of their mothers' basements, feel that they 'totally' 'fer-sherr' won't let a Hitler, Stalin, Mao, or Pol Pot usurp their swoopy utopia, then they are worse than stupid.

It is true that Socialism cannot work. But more importantly Socialism violates the rights of man. And it seems some economists don't want to deal with that fact, even while denouncing Socialism and proving that it cannot work. People seem to be afraid to uphold individual rights, even when they are denouncing Socialism.

That depends on how you define "work". It certainly can never deliver the benefits to the masses that its champions promise, because it denies the basics of human motivation AKA economics. But if you regard socialism as a way for its self-selected elite to gain power for themselves at everyone else's expense, it works marvelously, at least until they run out of other people's money.

"Woke" culture and the environmental movement also "work" quite well for that same end. And if your real goal is to destroy western civilization, they can do that too. That is the real danger which the masses ought to be fighting to prevent.

Some might think I over react. However, in 1934 the damn Nazi's tried to recruit my father! He was their idea of the perfect Aryan. Blond, blue eyed, well built, intelligent! He refused their request. He was in the Merchant Marine.

One nice-sounding bits of soft racism in education is something called Learning Styles™. Some advocates of this hogwash have cooked up more than 100 different Learning Styles™ and insisted that school teachers accommodate all of them in their classrooms. Other advocates keep it down to a smaller, more manageable number. So far, so good, except there is none of that actual pesky science stuff to back any of this up.

Common examples include Kinesthetic Learners, Verbal Learners, Mathematical Learners, Visual Learners, Tactile Learners, etc.

This is so absurd that even the writers at The Onion were having none of it:

The reason for fabricating this kind of thing—aside from increasing the number of publications on one's CV and the possibility of securing research grants and consulting gigs—is that it enables one to exercise the vilest racism, without coming out and saying it directly.

The punch line is that Kinesthetic Learners are almost universally dark-skinned. Essentially, it means that they have good rhythm, and they play either basketball or soccer well. Meanwhile, Mathematical Learners are predominantly light-skinned. Tactile Learners are children who refuse to keep their hands to themselves.

Once this has become the received wisdom, resources for teaching mathematics and science can be concentrated in schools with predominantly light-skinned populations, and the supply of balls that bounce can be concentrated in schools with predominantly dark-skinned populations.
