So many of their “icons” basically boil down to “I go to colleges and troll people” (to the point of 30 year old losers like Ben shapiro still hanging out at and constantly talking about college campuses).
It feels like higher education is less and less relevant to material reality, it just seems such a bizarre area for them to focus so much propagandistic effort towards.
Good point, I just regard them as grifters getting in a tried and true grift of selling reactionary youthphobia at the old and comfortable. Could be Capitalism trying to undermine universities and privatize them all as some kind of long-con.
