Here’s a video of Israelis protesting for the “right to rape” demanding soldiers be allowed to sexually assault Palestinian detainees. This is the level of evil we are dealing with

Quantitative analysis has taken over every discipline in the social sciences, and destroyed it. Students of politics, psychology, even history, are asked to quantify their findings, by attaching some type of number to them (e.g., some inanity like '63% of women prefer men with a sense of humour'). It is made to look intelligent by calculating regression coefficients, plotting graphs, coming up with formulae using mutliple betas. This has been deliberately - and successfully - pushed by American state-backed institutions - CCF, Ford Foundation, RAND, etc. [ref, Saunders (1999), Amadae (2003), Solovey (2013)] to counter theoretical social sciences, which were seen as dangers to capitalism and liberal democracy. Imbecilic empiricism rules academia now.
