The Left is a violent mob.

This communist insurrection has come on so quickly that it’s a shock to normal people. To us average Joe’s, our moral compass is strong and we will get in our enemies face. When you’re a sophisticated academic you’ve been insolated from the yucky side of life. So when a wild savage Marxist screams in their face,the cave. That’s why if we want to preserve our liberties,It’s up to the average Joe to fight.

“...what have the British done for us?”

A near universal language, universal education, the end of slavery (for the developed world,) standing alone against Nazi Germany for about three years, a whole bunch of science including jet engines, advanced radar, a host of medicines, (give me a few minutes, I’ll think of more)...oh, massive contributions to literature and culture...

I will bet if we put our heads together and got into the nitty-gritty we could fill a book.

What happened to tenure? I though that was supposed to protect academics so they could say the uncomfortable things we need to hear.

Well if they don’t stand up for what they have now, academics are among the first things to go amid the chaos and then what “careers” will they have.

A good lesson from the pandemic that just occurred recently were that schools were among the first to close and stay closed.
