There’s a lot of retarded crap both on the left and on the right. The difference is that the right doesn’t try to impose its retardation on me administratively. We’re halfway into Trump’s second term in office, and nobody has forced me to read any pro-MAGA books at work. Nobody has to write essays justifying hiring candidates who are not white men. Children aren’t taught Candace Owens’ conspiracies as fact. I’m not afraid to say publicly that Candace is a low-IQ moron. Our program isn’t stripped of credit hours in languages to teach obligatory classes on right-wing dogma.

Sex stops being a fun, enjoyable activity when you are forced to engage in it against your will. Right-wing and left-wing politics differ like sex and rape. You can say “no, thanks” to the former and it’s fine. But the latter doesn’t care about your consent.

    Your analogy is very apt.

      I would be just as opposed to universities paying tens of thousands of dollars to invite right-wing conspiracists as I oppose them paying Robin DiAngelo and Ibram Kendi. Intellectually, I see no difference whatsoever between Ibram Kendi and Candace Owens. But zero universities are inviting Owens or assigning her oeuvre as obligatory reading.
