The one persistent thing I have against the intellectual dark web, besides the ridiculous name and the shoddy science, is the choice of enemies.
Whatever I do, and wherever I go in life, being defined by my opposition to neo-Marxist university professors sounds like a bad time.

Fighting the power, such as ineffectual student protesters and That Guy from gender studies!

Organizing a counterrevolution, against people we openly admit are too clueless to do much of anything, anywhere.
Good stuff.

Ben Shapiro interrupting his interviews to sell mattresses seems a bit off-putting as well

mostly agree, but if you try to make your living inside academia, or in the many areas of public life where these folks have made inroads, being confronted with authoritarian nonsense can be a real hardship. treating them with benign indifference has only encouraged them.

web-celebrities making hay out of it strikes a rather false note, though, since they often have reactionariy agendas of their own.

My problem with JBP from the very beginning. I agree with 90% of what he says in his lectures/interviews.
But the fact that what he’s most worried about in this world is neo-Marxism (of all things) proves that he’s trapped, ironically, in a liberal bubble.

My read on his politics remains that he's an unusually socially conservative neoliberal.
He's someone you'd think would vote for Clinton *just because*, except he has some weird fascination with keeping social development somewhere in the 1950s.
