Proggies' very indirect rule serves many purposes. One is the ability to choke off any of Moldbug's termites. If someone should gain tenure and suddenly start speaking the truth, their servants can be ordered, from the side, to cut his lines of communication.
That is really the only weakness. It is a fatal one, however. E.g. they would like SJWs to sit down and shut up, but by the time a cease/desist order makes it down the chain, the SJWs are up to two new kinds of psychosis.
