I suppose when your whole worldview is “White man bad” stuff like this seems like a good idea.
But statues don’t hit back.
I’m a descendant of the colonials, proud of it and I’ll be celebrating Australia Day tomorrow, along with plenty of mates 🇦🇺

From the 12th of July, 1968, this is the earliest mention of the term "institutional racism" that one finds in the main archive of British newspapers.
Marriage, fertility, and political alignment:
Leftists are...
- more likely to be single
- less likely to be married
- less likely to be happily married
- report lower relationship satisfaction in general
- more likely to be divorcees or separated.
Leftists also have significantly lower fertility rates and significantly more dysgenic reproduction - reasonably high fertility is only found among extremely low IQ Leftists.

Red flags for women: Being Right-Wing
Red flags for men: Being Left-Wing
Women are extremely conformist, so their "red flags" are just whatever the government tells them is bad.

-Surveys of sociologists from the 1950s to 2020s show that it is an extremely left-wing field even by comparison with other academic social science fields.
-Surveys that include explicit questions about communism are hard to find, but one such survey found that 25% of sociologists identified as "Marxists", which was the highest among any field in the survey.
-A seemingly forgotten survey of college students from the 1960s showed that their stereotypes of professors' politics was amazingly accurate, r = .98, and still tended to underestimate the degree of leftism among the professors.
-Other data shows that the public is still largely ignorant of the extremity of leftism among professors, but that among those who are aware, are much less trusting of professors and science in general.
-Leftist sociologists, like other academics (e.g. psychologists), play a two-faced game where they seek to dominate their fields to maximize influence, while at the same time trying to appear as mere objective scientists to the public, so they don't get defunded or lose social influence.
-There doesn't appear to be any known political methods that is consistent with classical liberal values of free inquiry that doesn't result in an extreme political imbalance in academic fields like sociology.

Dealing with the two-faced approach

Conservatives tend to value local people and places over distant people and places, liberals, more opportunistically and individualistically, tend to value the inverse. This helps with career advancement but tends to reduce measures of well-being.
