But of national prominence? I see none on the left. Whereas on the right, we have Senator Inhoff bringing a snowball into the Senate to “refute” AGW. Things like this just seem like a terribly wrong “both sides are equally guilty” analysis. 3/3

You've not noticed the problem in the universities? In wider culture more generally? The problem that got Damore fired, Brett Weinstein, The Christakises, the failure of the left to address Islamism at a time it really needed to, the rise of insanely divisive diversity drives?

Antifa, riots, smashing of statues, the threatened banning of ex-Muslims from Gay Pride for criticising Islamic homophobia, antisemitism on the left, obsession with pronouns, microaggressions, anti-male moral panics, deconstructing whiteness programmes?
