Totally, counterculture nowadays does not belong to the far left anymore and after oppress popular culture with its ideas (else you are cancelled) now they are making a major effort trying to cancell oppositors from the institutions. Same as extreme conservatives did on the 60s.

Given that the president of the EU commission and the largest coalition in the EU parliament are conservatives and that the EU is evidently not an extreme left institution, I don’t understand why they should care about the extreme left having lost whatever you think they lost.

  Weren’t we speaking about the EU? Anyway, look at the statistics from your own country for example the imbalance between university professors between left and right and how that increased in the last 30 years, specially with the cancel culture (bullying or censorship)

Why do you think the European Union cares about counterculture belonging or not to the extreme left, given that the EU has, at least now, a conservative government and a conservative parliament? If they were cancelling anything, shouldn’t they be cancelling the extreme left? On universities, I’m not sure I understand how this is related to the topic at hand nor why I should care, but I wouldn’t assume that what may be true for a few American colleges applies to all universities all over the world.

      You seem to believe this document belong or represent anyhow any sort of European Institution but it does not, it is an independent lobby trying to influence. Check the PDF, I think it is the second or third page next to the CC license they wrote that is clearly said the document does not belong or represent the European Union, it is an independent group who posted it there in order to present it. UPDATE: That’s a common lobby strategy in European countries, to post a report and then mislead public opinion meaning that an EU commission or work group somehow supports their ideals or initiatives. It is really common in all sorts of topics.
