Xamanismo Coletivo"The target of the administration’s campaign is a stratum of society that’s sometimes called the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ProfessionalManagerialClass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProfessionalManagerialClass</a>, or the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PMC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PMC</a>, although there’s not one universal moniker that <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MAGA</a> applies to the group it is now crushing. That group includes society’s knowledge workers, its cognitive elite, the winners of the tournament that is the American meritocracy. It covers not only <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/lawyers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lawyers</a>, university administrators, and <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/professors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#professors</a>, but also <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/consultants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#consultants</a>, investment <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/bankers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bankers</a>, <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/scientists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scientists</a>, <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/journalists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#journalists</a>, and other white-collar workers who have prospered in the information age. Back in the 1990s, as the group began to emerge in its current form, the liberal economics commentator Robert Reich hailed its members as “symbolic analysts”—people who identify and solve problems by thinking through ideas rather than via physical labor. A decade later, the urbanist Richard Florida put forth an even more triumphalist term: the “<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/creativeclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#creativeclass</a>.” That is, its members had the academic training to master the complexities of a globalized economy, the intellectual skills to conquer the digital world." <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/04/trump-waging-war-professional-class/682409/?gift=hVZeG3M9DnxL4CekrWGK3-h3gdyrK22tbt8Qkwl4sX4" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/04/trump-waging-war-professional-class/682409/?gift=hVZeG3M9DnxL4CekrWGK3-h3gdyrK22tbt8Qkwl4sX4</a>

"Bestselling author Timothy Snyder and historian Marci Shore are on leave from Yale and joined UofT earlier this year."Snyder and Shore, who are married, will begin teaching courses at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy this fall. "Shore told TorontoToday they plan to stay at UofT 'for the long-term.'

"UofT began recruiting her and Snyder two years ago, Shore said, 'and we were seriously considering the offers long before the November 2024 presidential elections.'"'Both Toronto and the Munk School were and are very attractive places unto themselves, even bracketing the American descent into fascism,' she said in an email."'All that said, yes, of course our <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmericanCatastrophe" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AmericanCatastrophe</a> played a role in our final decision.'"Rea more: <a href="https://www.torontotoday.ca/local/education/university-toronto-hires-three-prominent-yale-professors-worried-about-trump-10433643" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.torontotoday.ca/local/education/university-toronto-hires-three-prominent-yale-professors-worried-about-trump-10433643</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UofT" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#UofT</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Authoritarianism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BrainDrain" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BrainDrain</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CharacteristicsOfFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CharacteristicsOfFascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#USPol</a>
