      Interesting to compare media coverage of two scandals that broke at the same time, Fairfield University & Oberlin. Fairfield had a bigger lawsuit & much more horrific crime (abuse of 170 children), Oberlin was familiar PC story. Guess which got more attention?https://twitter.com/hayonlinenews/status/1136800582629449728 …

          google trends for discussions of two universities. Blue is Fairfield, red Oberlin.

          No right-wing outrage over raping black children is the difference.

          Well there's a whole outrage industry dedicated to Oberlin.

          Because Fairfield never made itself a Capital of the Resistance. When the New Yorker features Oberlin as the exemplar of campus Jacobins, expect it to be covered when it’s hoisted by its own petard.

          And you should be worried about the Oberlin story. Cultural fascism is what the general public doesn’t like about the social justice left. The jury may not be a proxy for the electorate, but they’re definitely on the scent.

          So you think mass child rape doesn't count unless it's at a big ten school. Interesting position.
