Boy, howdy, latest campus protests – riots – actually gave us some nice illustrations of the “helpful fool” idea. Our faculty campuses are overrun with them; If nothing else has turn into clear over the previous few days, the variety of helpful idiots has exploded.
It is no shock that the time period “helpful fool” originated within the Soviet Union:
It’s a work of the KGB [in 1982] Utilizing his expertise of secrecy and deception to venture Soviet Occasion affect. It’s by means of contact with authorized Communist events overseas, with teams sympathetic to Soviet goals, with the type of work-officials that Lenin as soon as known as “helpful idiot“
Typically, although, a helpful fool actually tries to decrease the bar even decrease than earlier than, and as of late, that bar is someplace beneath the Marianas Trench. To that finish, I introduce you to Johanna King-Slutsky, an teacher and Ph.D. candidate at Columbia College.
A graduate pupil at Columbia College went viral on-line after telling members of the media that protesters had been prone to dying or turning into critically ailing if authorities didn’t present them with meals and water.
“Initially, we’re saying they’re obligated to offer meals to the scholars who pay for the meal plan right here,” the coed informed reporters when requested about Columbia’s position for college kids occupying the campus constructing Hamilton Corridor.
Obliged? These younger skulls had been illegally occupying a campus constructing and refusing to go away (and the NYPD police pulling them away, it was fairly humorous watching the coed squatters scream in anger), they usually needed the college to feed them? The one applicable response to that demand is to ask college students to defecate in a single hand, declare with the opposite, and see which hand fills first.
However wait! There may be extra!
“I believe it is in the end a query of what sort of neighborhood and obligation Columbia feels to its college students,” King-Slutsky mentioned. “Would you like college students to die of dehydration and hunger or get critically ailing, even when they do not agree with you?”
He continued: “If the reply is not any, you need to give fundamental permission — I imply, since we’re on an Ivy League campus, it is loopy to say — however it’s like, fundamental human help we’re asking for, like folks please have a glass of water. ?”
Would you want a glass of water? Depart the constructing. Do you wish to eat one thing? Depart the constructing. It isn’t difficult. Humanitarian support, because the time period is correctly used, is for individuals who don’t have any different choices. These nitwits produce other choices — or, a minimum of, they did, certain for the protesters’ new housing on the Lodge Crowbar earlier than the NYPD loaded all of them on buses.
On Tuesday, my colleague Brittany Sheehan gave us the main points on this convenient idiot.

Now, on Wednesday, we see King-Slutsky getting the well-deserved mockery from wags on the Web.

This isn’t a remark, not to mention an argument, of a critical individual. Thus an individual who has by no means been challenged to defend his opinion with info and cause. That is somebody who thinks he’s profitable the battle of concepts simply by voicing his will.… https://t.co/7Rs8dE9l8Z

His full biography on the Columbia web site is about seeing all the things by means of the lens of Marxism. He is a literal communist crying out for somebody to carry him his lunch field.

If it is any consolation to the Marxist King-Slutsky, he is obtained loads of firm on his nitwits.

It is arduous to overstate how naive this individual is. A self-professed Marxist, little question one who would describe himself as a feminist, supporting a trigger, a person who would have raped and killed him if he had been at a sure music pageant in Israel on October 7 final yr. The cognitive dissonance that Ms. King-Slutzky presents should be measured on the Richter scale. And, except I missed my guess, he would go on to show Marxist extremism at Columbia after that.
He would make Lenin and Stalin proud. A very helpful idiot, able to be nonetheless extra helpful.
