Conservatives appear unwilling to refuse their blood enemy's definition of terms used in a totally imaginary linguistic playbook the Left pretends to worship in this War for Minds.
The outrage here is Academia itself, institutions set up for the perpetuation of civilization by conservatives. And the natural deterioration of that social institution, from one dedicated to it's reason-for-being to one dedicated to self-continuity, makes it vulnerable. It is no longer sacred, having tossed every sacred thing into its book bonfire. It can be attacked and it can be defeated, at its supply lines, the legislatures, the Trustees, the Alumni; it is wide open. But it will not be defeated as long as we allow the spiritually bankrupt and parasitical groups running these places, with our blank checks, to choose the ground to fight upon, a crisis-driven and urgent field alternately labeled "race," or "sex" or "social justice."
With regard to these things, it's perhaps important to respect Sun Tzu's first and introductory rule of War, that war is about life or death, and therefore must be studied.
Bump for a well thought out commentary. Thanks for the post.
