Muslim activism has grown on campuses. They have moved into student government, divestment activism, political protest, etc.
Antisemitism on campuses is on the rise.
Not necessarily a “bad boy” factor as getting involved in the “movement” around them.
The ‘anti-war’ movement of the 60s may not have been a Communist movement but there were plenty involved in the movement (in leadership roles) who were Communist.
Useful idiots serving as human shields.
I agree with your comments. I did see the anti-war movement in the 60s and 70s as a communist movement, because dollars drive those activities. Those dollars came from communists IMO.
In Europe the Greens (Green Party / can’t remember the exact name now) were the driving force. It was always my thought that if an audit was made, all their money would be found to come from the U. S. S. R.
Yes, useful idiots were involved. They are today also.
The truly scarey thing today is that Islam is not identified as a threat by the powers that be.
At least in the 60s and 70s, we all agree the treat communism was. Today hardly anyone sees Islam or it’s sleepers as a threat.
We would never have allowed communists to come here at will in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Today we allow Islamic adherents come here. I’m sure there are ‘some’ controls, but they sure don’t seem to be weeding out many.
We have over 30,000 Saudis here on student visas. We saw what 19 of them did on 09/11/2001.
It boggles the mind this sleep-walking into oblivion.
