The entertaining thing for you is the university response and it doesn't concern you that the government is blatantly forcing ideology on people via every lever of power they can?

I'm glad my sarcasm was misplaced.

I'm not supporting the government... Instead I was bemused by how Columbia just folded on all points, after lecturing the world from its position of absolute superiority.

Interesting one to watch now.

  • If there's one thing I've learned over the years is that the easiest way to tell who one's real enemy is to see whom they extend no leeway to, never forgive, equivocate, or apologize for, whom they actively criticize at every turn, and who's misfortune they enjoy. Even, and especially when, that person or group is legitimately victimized. It's extremely telling.

    With all the blaring red signs of fascism taking over the federal government, a brazen and direct assault on free speech staring us right in the face, we get people still taking potshots the "wokes".

    I guess it's not fascism if its against people you disagree with.

      What’s fun about fascism ™ is that the circle of people being agreed with gets smaller as power is concentrated more towards a central figure.

      What’s his face, the Jewish white supremacist? Surely somewhere deep in the back of his mind is the warning bell that will start going off if we reach a certain stage of fascism. The “out group” starts with the most marginalized and vulnerable and moves inward.
