Many in academia are being silenced. They don't want to lose their job so they never oppose the far left hegemony.

That’s not true. You hear about it from others, or from the media, or on back channels (the latter is a major factor in the chilling effect). I hear about women being silenced all the time, because other women step up to highlight it.

Good point. I think I meant more immediately - when someone is actually being silenced, you hear about it in dribs and drabs as the story surfaces (often horrifyingly) rather than a week-long international discussion about how no one can hear their very loud voice
