A Pentagon Influencer Called Liberal Women a ‘Pestilence’ Who Will End Western Civilization
Kurt Schlichter was part of a task force rooting out so-called woke ideologies at the military’s war colleges. He has called to bar childless adults from voting.
Pentagon influencer Kurt Schlichter, known for his far-right views, has been described by some as a "pestilence" who will bring about the downfall of Western civilization. The Washington Post discovered that Schlichter, who boasts over 620,000 followers on X, was employed by the Department of Defense to root out "woke" ideologies within the military's war colleges.
Despite confirming his civilian government employment, Schlichter's social media posts reveal a history of extremist, anti-democratic sentiments. In August 2021, he called for an authoritarian crackdown on liberals, advocating for the banning of various aspects of modern life and proposing that those without children, military service, or property should be disqualified from voting.
Schlichter has also expressed admiration for historical dictators like Pinochet and Franco, and he has harshly criticized women and minorities. In a recent article, he labeled liberal women as a "pestilence" that threatens the very fabric of Western society.
