How to remove Liberal Indonctrination from College (self.Conservative)

ziggythezebra が 投稿

I am not a very political individual however I attended a very very liberal college. I was unaware of politics in high school, and I am a pretty introverted person. I have realized since attending the university, my entire thought process and life was affected by the very liberal professors. I do not how to describe it in words. I am now convinced that financial success is bad and unfair since a lot of people in society are not well off financially. I am convinced that I am a bad person since I am a male and my sexual wants are wrong as well. In general it seems like I now favor emotion over logic and reason. How do I remove this indoctrination I experienced in college?

Edit: Autocorrect spelled indoctrination wrong. Let me know if you have any questions

Sorry if I am being vague but it is very hard to describe.

Ummm... stop believing those things and expose yourself to a wide spectrum of thought?

indoctrination takes a while to get rid of especially when the idea is shoved in your head by your professors and peers. For example, more religious people are extremely indoctrinated and it takes years for them to fully stop believing their religion of choice if they choose to leave. (btw, not trying to have a religion discussion)

I go to a somewhat liberal college. The nice thing is that we are all adults and can make our own choices through critical thought.

I'd say it takes life experience to block out liberal B.S. The professor claiming that soldiers join the military because they are too mentally incapable for college and are violent thugs who do nothing but commit war crimes doesn't have any affect on me as I was being successful in a premed program (in med school now) and funny enough I don't remember actually committing any war crimes while I was in the military. There are about a dozen or so of us "mentally incapable" people in my medical school class, and two of our professors at this medical school are former military men as well (one of them being a former special forces officer).

I became a conservative because I choose to believe my "lying eyes" instead of the professor's propaganda.

Work a blue collar job for a few years and see if that shit still holds.

I dropped out after two years when I lost an athletic scholarship due to an injury. Wasn't willing to take on huge debt (the tuition there alone was around 50k a year). So I took a job at a lumber yard for 3 years. Not desk work. Physical, back breaking work that beat the shit out of me from 7am to 5pm every week day.

I also learned a fuckload about a new industry. Learned people skills. Learned sales skills. Learned how to be really be accountable, organized, and responsible. You don't get to fuck up 10% of the time at a job and get an "A." You get fired.

I made and saved enough to go back to my big state university and pay in cash.

First of all, stop calling those who want to destroy America liberals and progressives. The original and true definition of liberalism is the philosophy of personal freedom, limited government and free-market capitalism--which is precisely what conservatives [and even more so libertarians] stand for. We have to start calling these pretenders for who they really are-- cultural Marxists. This virus has pretty much infected campuses across the country

I had a similar experience to you, in the sense that liberal indoctrination was shoved down by throat, but I instead had a reaction where I went from more socially apathetic to socially conservative (I've been a libertarian/Republican my entire life). If you're not happy with the liberal mindset, I recommend taking some time to expose yourself to conservative media. Talk to people here, listen to talk radio when you're driving, and read some books by Mark Levin, Thomas Sowell, and William Buckley to get started.

It's pretty easy to remove the liberal indoctrination. Just graduate and spend a few years living as an adult.

Take their words at face value and do not take them as gospel. The far left, the regressive SJW type, tell off success as a privilege due to something that you haven't earned.

Ben Shapiro said it best, the SJW believes that if you and I are sitting in a room and you have $5 and I have $1, you must of wronged me along the way.

Financial success can be subjective as well, because you need a baseline to compare it to. For example, a person making $80k can be envious of their boss making $250k. They can relate their salary to their bosses and see that their boss has more financial success compared to themself. While someone making $35k thinks the employee making $80k is ridiculous for even having a problem in the first place.

Being a male and having sexual wants are simply apart of our human nature. Your sexual desire is hardwired into your brain and what you find sexually appealing is going to excite you when you confront those stimuli in your life. Is it wrong for women to stare at shirtless men with 6 packs in movies? Of course not, nor is it wrong for a guy to stare at attractive women in movies.

As for favoring emotion over logic and reason, there is a place for emotion with regards to arguments. But it must be used effectively. Moral arguments can be made with emotion added to logic and reason, but emotion by itself doesn't make for a solid point in an argument.

Being in r/conservative , I would definitely recommend watching Ben Shapiro and Louder with Crowder for current events. And Thomas Sowell and Milton Friedman for economic and social theories back then that can be used in today's arguments.

I am a fan of Milton Friedman and I like Ben Shapiro as well. Any additional recommendations outside of individuals or any possible books? I stumbled upon the book, brainwashed by shapiro, but i haven't read it. have you read it by any chance?

EDIT: thank you for the great response as well. very helpful

[–]MindfulmannersConservative Millennial [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I have not heard of that book, but I will look into it for sure.

As for other recommendations, Dave Rubin has an interesting show considering he is a more moderate left guy. But what is so great about him is that his show is allowing for some dialogue to occur which is desperately needed in this day in age.

Wow, this story seems like the kind of bullshit someone who's never actually been to college and has only seen media reports of "safe spaces" would post for karma.

I'm a very recent graduate (past 4 years) and my "entire thought process and life" was never affected by liberal professors. Granted, I was a CS major, but we were all required to take a certain number of liberal arts classes for graduation requirements.

Of all the classes I took, the only one that was indoctrinating was sociology. The professor would pull up articles from Buzzfeed, Salon, etc. and ask us our opinions based on the titles (I don't think she even read the shit she was showing us). You know what I did, though? I realized that I was going to be making more money fresh out of school than she was probably making as a universityprofessor. And I deserved it, because I would be spending my time doing worthwhile things instead of preaching lies to teenagers. When I went home, I'd put on an hour-long Ben Shapiro talk and he'd correct all the shit about the wage gap, cultural appropriation, etc. that was spewed in class that day.

Sure, the campus atmosphere was pretty liberal--there were always flyers up for the socialist club meeting, free condoms were given out every once in a while, etc. But none of that affected my learning experience, and I honestly can't think of a way a software engineering professor would be able to spin multithreading in Java to be politically indoctrinating.

If this post isn't a troll and it's really the case that "I am convinced that I am a bad person since I am a male and my sexual wants are wrong as well," then you're either incredibly weak-willed or chose a stupid fucking major, and that's God's honest truth.

I had a similar experience in engineering related classes but I went back for non-engineering type stuff and the indoctrination was strong.

This is really just a campus by campus thing and your classes are heavily dependent. Indoctrination also doesn't really work on those that have solidified a bit politically - at least that's my take.

The problem is the weak-willed also get to vote - just the same as the strong willed. Many kids in that age range are also very weak but become strong(er) later in life. South park honestly has the most accurate view I've found. The PC culture is a bro culture.

You will likely hear it repeated by morons that "reality has a liberal bias", it very literally does not the more you are exposed to how the world actually works you'll realize that their brand of social Marxism only works in closed societies where no dissenting information is allowed in (college campuses, Internet forums).
