Funny how Dawkins went from fighting with Christians about their religious intrusion into science, to antagonizing "progressives" about their religious intrusion into science. Or put another way, how he stayed the same and the progressives regressed, like Elon Musk's sketch from a while back.

People who think this way need to be laughed at. The liberals in academia failed to mentor the next generation, and so let the childish cuckoldry of reason make a mockery of academic rigor and everyone else with a grasp on reality.

By twisting language until words have lost any semblance of meaning - take the abuse the word 'theory' has suffered as an example - and by replacing the pursuit of knowledge with a drive for political action these activists have sown the seeds of what might well be the destruction of academia. They're not alone in this, the institutions suffer under the relentless pursuit of profit by diploma mills as well but the assault from within is more damaging since it touches the core of Academia's reason to be, this being the objective pursuit of knowledge through application of the scientific methods.
