> touched by modernity is relative.
All people got too excited by modernity. Changes in last several hundred years never happened before, maybe mabul excepting … German Jews in 19th century were trying to educate Poliosh/Russian Jews and get them out of poverty, but, at the time, this was highly correlated with assimilation. Are things different now? Studying computer science does not seem to require signing up for some foreign ideas. At the same time, every second English and History class in public schools and universities has some political context in it thrown at kids, even while explaining where to put commas. Online school is good for that – when I hear norishkeit, I use it as an opportunity to rebut it, jointly with kids. Seems to be working like a vaccine. It is a dangerous live vaccine though. I wonder if there is mRNA liberalism produced anywhere.
