You really don't think that reactionary conservatism is not a factor too? Clearly the left has problems with excessive purity demands (just like the right) but I can't accept institutional failure as solely the fault of one side.
- gotoeleven 2y agoWhat do you mean by reactionary conservatism being a factor? "Reactionary conservatism" holds next to zero sway in academia. Do you mean reactionary conservatives are to partially to blame for academic institutional failure because they don't trust those institutions (left wing) product, when they should? Trust and respect are earned so you can only be wrong, dumb, and silly for so long before you lose it. I'm struggling to think of a single sociopolitical idea that has come out of academia recently that has been clearly positive. I can think of many negatives.
