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.

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.

This was meant to address that, but I was making two points in one tweet.
It's certainly an issue in academia, but a JBP-style mass conspiracy...?

I understand localized activism and that some of these issues are quite egregious, in context.
But making a huge societal problem out of an issue that is academic, both literally and figuratively, if you don't live in Sweden? It's fatuous and self-aggrandizing nonsense.
