Where have all the good writers gone? Why are millennials so bad at writing? Were boomers the last train out of Saigon?

Gen-X were the last to get classically trained in higher education, and the last to get the "western canon".

Allan Bloom specifically says in 1994 the western canon has been removed from universities, via feminists and Foucault acolytes.

In the 1980s, a bunch of academics pivoted towards "French theory" and took over the humanities departments. After that it was an endless revolution to tear things down. No one got taught how to write, what good stories were, instead that even the concept of "good" is wrong because books were only chosen because of the whims of the elites in power.

You can't produce good writing when your entire life experiences are secondhand online stories.

French were the last bastion of mainstream marxist thought as Marxism was super popular among the academia. Then the USSR kept fucking up and invading people, so they searched for a new ideological sugar daddy: and they found Nietzsche.

So it's a bunch of weirdo former marxists trying to keep the revolution going, just using Nietzsche's critiques of concepts and words to continue the revolution.

American academics were hungry for something new rather than just writing yet another essay on Shakespeare. French theory allowed them to write an infinite amount of essays forever and ever.

Come on now, are we all pretending it's the French and not the (((French)))? It's 2026--people are noticing.
