The Goal Of The PC Left Is To Ensure That Politically Incorrect Truths Can't Be Expressed *Anywhere*

Universities are supposed to be the places where the pursuit of truth is paramount. Thus if a faction can take them over and make sure that politically incorrect truths cannot be expressed there, it will have struck a grievous blow against inquiry. If that faction can also take over the press and other institutions that normally facilitate the dissemination of truth--in our time that includes sectors of the internet, including "social media"--that would constitute another dire injury. Having taken control of vast swaths of all these institutions, the PC left is farther along toward its goal of suppressing inconvenient truths than anyone could have guessed they would be by this point. 
   And, of course, they aren't merely suppressing politically incorrect truths, they're far along toward brainwashing society with politically correct falsehoods--like the open season myth. These are really flip sides of each other. There's no surprise that they tend to go together. 
   Once upon a time there was some hope that big tech would produce some kind of alternative to universities (and the press). It used to be largely libertarian. Its informal motto used to be "information wants to be free." Today, nothing could be farther from the truth.
   This shouldn't come as a surprise. It was always stupid for the voxish pseudonerds on the not-quite-insanely-radical internet left to pretend that universities didn't count. Why they think you can impose totalitarian thought control at universities without it affecting society more generally has never been clear. They seem to have not read their Lenin...which comes as quite a surprise given their views. It's rather like finding out that Jerry Falwell hadn't read the Bible.
   Bottom line: don't think that the totalitarian left's control of universities is something isolated to just one institution. It isn't. It's the most important institution to control, and they control it. Not only is it the institution that's supposed to inquire and disseminate truth, it's an institution that forms people's thoughts while they're young, and sends them out to take leading roles in other institutions. And so controlling it is a means to controlling those other institutions. 
   Universities are controlled by a lunatic cult. That cult spins out a web of delusions that aims, among other things, to bring down the United States and the West, replacing it with a totalitarian, antirational, antiliberal culture based on that web of delusions.
   Stop sitting back and pretending that this isn't happening. Stop pretending that it's guaranteed to fail. Neither of those things is true.
