The Frankfurt papers revisited
Re: “Rebuttals curiously absent”, Have Your Say, February 8.
That master flogger of dead horses, letter writer Egon, never gives up, does he? I am being goaded once again to reassert that the Frankfurt School “ignores or denies facts”. Just take a look at the state of the mainstream media – the lies, distortions and refusals to report stories that “don't fit their editorial agenda” – which thankfully people are waking up to. Now refer to Frankfurt School Objective No 4: “control and dumbing-down of the media”. Is it not clear that the MSM is firmly in the grip of the FS?
Egon also dismisses the “87-year-old statement by Horkheimer”, but ignores the fact that the aims of the Frankfurt School are long-term, a key element being to indoctrinate future generations. Here are two more FS objectives: the teaching of sex and homosexuality to children, and undermining of schools and teachers’ authority. Now take a look at UK education policy and weep.
Egon’s only useful suggestion is that the reader should judge for himself who is right, which echoes the suggestion in my original letter. With regard to my “outrageous statement” connecting Frankfurt School doctrine and the ills of the world, other writers on this page have echoed my view, and if either of us live in a delusional world, I suggest that it’s Egon. Put that whip down, step out of your safe space and join the real world, sir!
