  1. You can see numerous striking parallels with the Red Guards (the student fanatics of the Cultural Revolution, 1966-76) in these Ivy Leaguers. Probably the most important one is the changing of the definition of wrongdoing and crime. Things formerly thought morally unacceptable and unjustifiable are suddenly definite goods because they are done in the name of the approved cause. This applies not just to their campus activities, but you can see it also in many students' refusal to condemn the atrocities of the first Saturday of October. Abuse is good if it's done for the cause is the idea, and it is a powerful attractant. It appeals to the ordinarily-suppressed aggressive instincts natural to all people, giving permission to liberate and satisfy them. In the past, whenever people are extended an invitation, explicit or implicit, to abuse others in the name of goodness, a sudden tide of individuals comes out of the woodwork to accept it.

  2. It takes an affirmative action hire to say "block all the stops," which means the opposite of what she has in mind.🙄 Somewhere the person whose job she took works glumly outside of academia. The Ivy League belongs in a sarcophagus, and so does the whole American university system, for that matter.

  3.  alexstrasser1924  I'm comparing civilian left-wing student radicals to civilian left-wing student radicals. You're bringing airmen in a wartime military chain of command into it. Maoist much?
