‘Fun loving people, entrepreneurial, great people, non-communist.’

and if you tell them to wear a useless facemask for the rest of their waking hours (or maybe even beyond) against the miniscule possibility of a future lethal pathogen, they will do so without the hint of a question...

educated they may be; smart, not so sure about that...

When you select on "social merit" rather than academic talent and promise this is what you get.

"mission accomplished" indeed.

Mao’s cultural revolution ended when the army brutally suppressed Red Guard. The leaders, like Madame Mao, were tried and executed. So far, the Red Guard has acted with impunity in blue zones. It will be interesting to see what happens when they operate in red zones. The Ga cop city attack was the first incident where Antifa got a significant push back.

“It all started when they changed their team name from the “Indians”.”

Yes, that, plus when their Marching Band could not stop a touchdown by UC Berkeley.

VDH's Stanford article is awesome! The usually reserved Dr. Hanson seems to have written this one with a passion. He represents what a useful academic institution could be, and is probably horrified when he sees what one is, particularly in his home state of California.

The US Justice Department. These young Communists will be Federal Workers with a guaranteed salary, benefits and a set pension for doing very little work.

They don’t have to worry about being hired. They’ll get elected. Entry level will be the apprenticeship program of the local school board.

Actually, I bet there are plenty of government agencies that will hire them.

Many big corporations seem to have no issue hiring woke graduates either as the left has taken over large segments of corporate America. I've seen it firsthand.

South Carolina has been busting these noodle-armed Marxist weenies since 2014. Five to 10 sentences as terrorists under South Carolina’s anti-klan laws. The nazi media will embargo these stories because they don’t want their useful idiots to know they could end up in state prison for 10 years.

But, a great deal of damage.

About 10 years ago I turned down a job at Stanford. I needed a minimum of $128,000 / year to be on their network IT team as a primary wireless engineer/architect. They wouldn’t come up any more than $120,000.

Ended up turning out great for me, though.

“For 16,937 students, Stanford lists 2,288 faculty and 15,750 administrative staff.”

Really surprised enrollment is that low when many universities have enrollment of 40,000 or more. And the number of faculty and especially staff is beyond absurd.

I think rat faced Nancy Mace staged her hate crime. Seems unlikely that Antifa would paint graffiti on her house. I think she pulled a Jussie.
