The Eva Braun of bowling?
Former Obama official suggests bowling leagues and PTA could facilitate new rise of Nazism
“Dense social networks also increase people’s vulnerability to extremism. A great deal of work suggests that terrorism itself can arise not because people are isolated, poor or badly educated, but because they are part of tightly knit networks in which hateful ideas travel quickly.” – Cass Sunstein
Harvard University political scientist Robert Putnam is the author of “Bowling Alone.” His study shows that as multiculturalism increases, civic engagement goes down. People become less engaged with their community as the community becomes more diverse.
Cass Sunstein, a extreme leftist and former White House official to Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, seems to think that is not such a bad thing. Sunstein cites what he says is the “dark side” of civic engagement.
He blames the high level of civic engagement in homogeneous pre-WWII Germany for the rise of the Nazi party. He wrote a column for Bloomberg suggesting that bowling leagues and PTA could facilitate a new rise of Nazi-like extremism. . . .
