        Most revolts are just desperate cries for a new stronger leader. So sad, this generation is a just a sad remix of past ones.

        To bypass any paywall, just Google the first paragraph of text, and find a blog with the article. This isn't hard.

        I hope you know that I had to interrupt my mindfulness meditation just to respond to this. Niall Ferguson doesn't get a rehabilitation since the Heterodox Academy crew refused to hold him accountable for his despicable actions.

        @nfergus is a serious scholar who made a relatively minor error in judgment - one that wouldn't raise an eyebrow if made against a conservative - and resigned from Cardinal Conversations so the free speech group could continue its work. Go back to your mindlessness meditation.

        He attempted to use his position of authority to conduct a smear campaign against a student whom he deemed "too liberal". The juvenile quality of his plotting emails cuts directly against his credibility as a serious academic. He was so humiliated he left the country. #minor

        Recall the inversion of the moral relation btw nature and culture. As cities and culture are now evil, the sensitive angels need safe spaces in them. It’s like the family parlor in the middle class 19th century house. – at Federal Hill

        Steve, the “safe room” described by Niel, with the toys etc is the postmod equivalent of the idealized landscape, or, more precisely, the Dutch realistic landscape, with its “drive” to delineated space of particulars and diversity etc. cont.

        Protections are necessary until people become sufficiently aware of unfair treatment based on stigma & institutional support for victims is clearly understood —via “identity safe” spaces. Later, haters expressing themselves can be seen like any old bird on campus, w🚫consequence.
