The ideals -- "liberal arts" -- were agreements about what enabled people to live a "free" life.
We've lost those as ideals. Instead, we interpret all the liberal arts through racialist-socialist lens, and find they required us to adopt norms outside ourselves.
The ideal we do hold together is hating authority and norms outside ourselves -- whether that's racial, religious, political, sexual, biological, musical, literary, fashion, filmmaking, etc. Just Do It. Have It Your Way. Think different.
So, the jobs part is the part we hold in common. The ideals dispute is leading to violent protests in the streets.
