Hooting and hollering at every line of the article. Endlessly whining that Gen z are doing good things.

Got this article from streetfight radio.

      Campuses aren't really super liberal IMO. It's just that religious reactionaries spend 18 years keeping their kids in as airtight a bubble as possible. Those kids then go off to college and notice, for example, that gay people are just normal people and not some scary boogieman.

        If you lie to people their whole lives, and then they go to college and find out they've been lied to, they start wondering what else was a lie and suddenly their whole worldview is unravelling like a sweater caught in a wind turbine.

          Or: These people experience cognitive dissonance and dont have a coping strategy for it and thus foment a ton of ever worsening viewpoints that can only be solved by the complete destruction of increasingly larger others. Fascism.

        I know you meant this differently but campuses are incredibly liberal. Liberal values are what academia in the west is built on. It's a big part of why leftists (Graeber, Finklestein, Parenti(?) etc. etc.) are shut out of the institution.

        Of course it also means that the only intersectional ideas allowed there are the coopted, idealistic liberal kind.
