Steve Sailer: Are campus leftists getting dumber? And what’s the “Cosmo” connection…?

I say yes, for sure.

Sailer writes:

The trend is the reverse of a half century ago when the radicals tended to outwit the establishment. Today’s campus left seems brutish and stupid, inclined to butchery and hurt feelings.

Leftism in the 1960s tended to be led from the intellectual top down. For example, during 1967’s long hot summer, the highbrow New York Review of Books put a diagram of how to make a Molotov cocktail on its cover.

Today, however, much of the energy on the left is at outlets such as Teen Vogue and Cosmopolitan.

I’ve been blogging for sixteen years, but I only started noticing Cosmo as a player in political debate last fall…

Alas, Sailer doesn’t think to link to my Taki’s column about Helen Gurley Brown…
