A familiar, leftist pattern here.

#2 When you have no particular talent, going outside normalcy might seem like one way to get attention and approval from you similarly-afflicted colleagues.
But when they've already saturated crazy, you have to go even further.

#3 Two last names - a sure sign of massive lefty pretentiousness.

#4 International Marxists always conflate nationalism with the Nazis. Just ignore the whole late 18th century and 19th century nationalism* that pre-date Marx. And these people are 'professors'?

Wizard of Oz: Why, anybody can have a brain. That's a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the Earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from, we have universities, seats of great learning, where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have. But they have one thing you haven't got: a diploma.

* Pan-German, Pan-Slav, Pan-Italan et al movements.

#5 Pop Quiz, Perfesser: Compare and contrast:
(a)The Star-Spangled Banner;
(b) La Marseillaise; and
(c) The Horst Wessel Lied.
I think you will find our national anthem to be rather ... tame.

#6 Had some great teachers all the way up. Some lefties in HS, more in college, but a lot of people who just taught material they loved and devoted their lives to. Now there are people who don't know sh*t about anything but sure know how to sing the song. Glad I'm not there now.
