That's wrong. Critical thinking and logic have never been truly popular, and even those movements who support them end up corrupted by groupthink and irrationality. Just look at science. The only difference between now and ten years ago, or a century ago, is what the main narrative says. Heresy will never be popular.

I’m not sure when it started, but I remember in the late 80s early 90s there was a lot of talk about frivolous lawsuits.
I think under Clinton a lot of green lights were given to these lawsuits, so companies and people had to change their policies to a more inclusive mindset.
Meanwhile bands like REM and Morrisey we winning awards and pushed pro gay anti republican views. Then grunge came and it became “cool” to be a slack ass and hate football players and cheerleaders.
It had simply grown from there. (Except I’m the black community) now, the children of those values are in mid level power, and their children realize they can play the victim in order to take advantage of a situation.
For example the website the college fix documents the absurd articles written by students.
In v/niggers there is a post of an article arguments that the outdoor clubs and camping clubs at his university are racist because they are mostly white. Even though the clubs are open to all students and blacks can join at anytime.
It’s 10th journalism at its best. But this is the result of liberalism

In the late 18th and early 19th century the ideas of communism emerged. These ideas were completely demolished in the free market of ideas. Instead of giving up, marxists invented postmodernism which attacked logic itself by declaring it invalid when applied to their ideas.

“Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck.”
― Robert A. Heinlein

In America, the average citizen is not extremely intelligent, and is overall kept too busy just "keeping the lights on" with life; burdened by stress, taxation, regulation, and a general uncertainty for the future.
Long ago, those that govern society realized that emotions were the most effective method of manipulating these low-intelligence masses, combined with keeping them otherwise occupied. Logic is under attack because it is the only weakness this emotional and distraction based slavery has.

That is so not only in America. The degree of retardation varies, but an average person in any society is pretty dumb.

And about 50% will be below average while about 50% are above, if it's a normal distribution.

The average American citizen is plenty intelligent. The average American citizen is not taught critical thinking. Without that basis it's hard to stick to logic. You can think the marxists who've taken over the industry.

I tried to explain to my idiot libtard friend that even If we had universal health care in some awsome system that was paid for the people in the hoods would still eat to much h drink to much and we would just prolong their misery for a couple of years.
