Taylor Swift was the commencement speaker at New York University this year. She told the graduates to “learn to live alongside cringe. No matter how hard you try to avoid being cringe, you will look back on your life and cringe retrospectively. Cringe is unavoidable over a lifetime. Even the term ‘cringe’ might someday be deemed ‘cringe.’” These are the words of “wisdom” from yet another liberal activist on a college campus.
In contrast, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis addressed graduates at Boston College. He invoked his own graduation from college in 1990, reminiscing about a speech from the chancellor of West Germany, Helmut Kohl.
