In the American colonies, for instance, he saw a people striving to live into their traditions and principles. They were demanding their rights as Englishmen. But from France, he heard nothing but the high-toned gabble of “a man’s abstract right to food or medicine,”20 which justified murderous oppression and criminality. Universities had become “seminaries” for revolutionary gatherings where, he said sarcastically, “amidst assassination, massacre, and confiscation, perpetrated or meditated, they are forming plans for the good order of future society.”21
This sounds exactly like today! Universities breeding radicals and people declaring rights to all sorts of things: money, medical care, jobs, etc.
