Obviously Harvard bad for a variety of reasons but the Ivy Leagues have always been a pretty critical funnel for the upper class to reinforce their control of the system. Wealthy people go to Harvard, get their Poli Sci degree or whatever and then go on to work in the State department doing soft power abroad or online (same difference these days) for Amerikkka. Ending that pipeline over culture war grievances feels like it’ll have some pretty significant ramifications for the ability of the Amerikkkan superstructure to reproduce itself, but that won’t become obvious for another 10 years or so, and by that time Amerikkka will have already collapsed for a myriad of other reasons so maybe this entire post is pointless.

    The US military once accidentally dropped two loaded hydrogen bombs on North Carolina that didn’t go off because of some defect or something. Who hasn’t wanted to nuke north carolina at some point though it’s understandable.
