universities here used to function normally this stuff is new in maybe the last ten or fifteen years, mostly in the last five anyway if your wondering why lots of americans on here are frothing anti-leftists this sort of thing has a lot to do with it

eh, i'm pretty much on the left and i hate this shit, too. the absence of a mature and sedate left in america is why the country tends to lean conservative. there is no serious leftist politician in america, just eternally co-opted champagne left and its cultural trickle-down.

I parsed Eigen as saying this stuff adds froth to extant anti-leftists, not that it makes anti-leftists out of leftists. Dunno if that's what he meant, but that's how I read it.
