Universities becoming job training centers and/or finishing schools is one thing, but even if that were not the case you'd still have to deal with the simple phenomenon of your voice getting drowned out in the unending torrent of societal criticisms in various forms of media. Ironically, getting censored in this way is probably quite helpful for that professor to broaden their reach.
