BRUTAL TRUTH: One of the biggest reasons why the United States has fallen behind Russia and China in innovative weapons development is because for the last couple of decades, left-leaning universities have penalized Asians and Whites for being capable in engineering, math, and sciences, and has replaced them in college entrance acceptance criteria with those who have the right skin color or the right LGBT values or who are transgenders or liberals instead of choosing people based solely on whether they are cognitively qualified to achieve great things in the engineering sciences.
As a result, we have graduated hundreds of thousands of students from U.S. universities who were never qualified to enter those universities in the first place and who are not competent at the fields in which they have been "fake trained" because they were never graded based on actual accomplishments but rather given automatic grade boosts based on their minority social standing. (This has also been happening in medical schools, by the way.) In liberalism, the most incompetent rise to the top of the social standing hierarchy and end up running the universities, guaranteeing a feedback loop of recursive woke idiocy and academic incompetence that has landed us in 2025, where Russia has announced and demonstrated four astonishing new breakthrough weapons system while the USA still can't make hypersonic missiles work.
Accordingly, these graduates are unable to compete with merit-based educational systems such as those in China and Russia, where the most qualified people compete for college entrance positions, resulting in college graduates being exceptionally skilled or gifted in their areas of study. The bottom line is that while China and Russia are developing advanced weapons, nuclear power miniaturization technologies, advanced material sciences, breakthrough propulsion systems and more, the vast majority of left-wing U.S. college graduates are utterly incapable of competing with actual engineers and have only become masters in victimhood and liberal ideology, which is rooted in delusional thinking and fairy tales that can never translate into physical engineering breakthroughs in the 3D world.
If you think a man can become a woman, in other words, you probably can't develop a propulsion system for hypersonic missiles because, simply put, you are stupid.
LIBTARDOCRACY: Across the USA, there are probably hundreds of thousands of Asian and White young adults who could have been among the world's best engineers if only they had been given a fair shake based on merit, rather than ethnicity and adherence to woke idiocy. Liberalism is fundamentally rooted in bigotry and racism - even against Asians - and the result of that bigotry in academia is that America falls behind the rest of the world in technology, which is exactly why China now dominates 60 out of 64 key technologies that were once dominated by America. Those include rare earths extraction techniques, robotics, drones, telecommunications, materials science and more.
Arguably, China is also edging ahead in AI technology and will likely achieve AGI before anyone else, which will render the entirety of the "woke idiot" class of fake-educated American liberals utterly obsolete from a cognition perspective, meaning they will have no practical role whatsoever in the modern world (unless they take up a physical skill like plumbing, but most of these people are also not good with hands-on anything). Even the barista jobs at Starbucks will eventually be replaced by automation (we will miss the purple haired nose ring freaks serving lattes, no?).
Such is the cost of running an education system based on woke idiocy rather than cognitive merit. The libtards have delivered us into Libtardia, and none of us should be surprised at the outcome. It was rather obvious to anyone who wasn't stupid or delusional.
