And the general population needs to be applying pressure.

2018-07-30 22:48:51 UTC  

The Blue-state U's and rich private institutions are pretty unapproachable. But you could force matters in a number of red states and with poor, dying privates.

2018-07-30 22:48:55 UTC  

Of which there are many.

2018-07-30 22:49:00 UTC  

Conservatives can't really even set foot on some campuses to start protests. Can't even have a speech in a rented hall.

2018-07-30 22:49:15 UTC  

Why do you think lefties chain themselves to trees?

2018-07-30 22:49:31 UTC  

They're shameless mental cases?

2018-07-30 22:49:36 UTC  

It works.

2018-07-30 22:49:50 UTC  

They get their message across. And they set it up so they look like the victims.

2018-07-30 22:49:56 UTC  

I'd just pepper spray them and leave them lol.

2018-07-30 22:49:58 UTC  

The victim and arrest part is the wohle goal.

2018-07-30 22:50:23 UTC  

Come back every few hours and re-apply pepper spray

2018-07-30 22:50:38 UTC  

You need to make enough noise and apply enough pressure to attract the press. Particularly the sympathatic press.

2018-07-30 22:50:51 UTC  

Press sympathetic to conservatives?

2018-07-30 22:50:56 UTC  

On Fox.

2018-07-30 22:51:11 UTC  

And there's some setups that just look bad or are hard to deny.

2018-07-30 22:52:04 UTC  

There's an op-ed I like that proposed the next time a right-wing speaker is shouted down, every libertarian, moderate or conservative student should then mob the next left-leaning speaker and chant "this is what you do to us" until they get removed by the police (and then be polite about leaving)

2018-07-30 22:52:23 UTC  

By making a clear demand and being voiceful it forces the issue and makes the demand clear.

2018-07-30 22:52:39 UTC  

Dude that's not going to play out the way you think.

2018-07-30 22:52:46 UTC  

Either the administration lets them have their speeches in peace or they'll keep being disruptive.

2018-07-30 22:52:50 UTC  

Every conservative student would be arrested and expelled.

2018-07-30 22:52:54 UTC  

No mercy.

2018-07-30 22:53:05 UTC  

That's when you go to court.

2018-07-30 22:53:16 UTC  

And you do it strategically.

2018-07-30 22:53:24 UTC  

You're not doing this in Berkely.

2018-07-30 22:53:44 UTC  

You do it at U Nebraska where the faculty are already on the defensive after that incident with the professor at the TPUSA table.

2018-07-30 22:53:59 UTC  

And the population is already right-leaning.

2018-07-30 22:54:35 UTC  

Hit one or two unis and keep making threats and it'll get attention.

2018-07-30 22:54:48 UTC  

And spread naturally. And as it does you build infrastructure.

2018-07-30 22:54:51 UTC  

Optics are going to be shit. It'll be all white males.

2018-07-30 22:55:20 UTC  

Who cares. Most left leaning protests are majority middle-class white females.

2018-07-30 22:55:42 UTC  

And you don't need to chain yourself to a tree. Just make enough noise to get attention and force the administration's hand.

2018-07-30 22:55:53 UTC  

And keep up pressure.

2018-07-30 22:56:08 UTC  

I mean, just inviting Christina Hoff Summers is usually enough.

2018-07-30 22:57:49 UTC  

Again, the majority of the action should be from the non-left base and external factors. Create funds with designated purposes and keep people informed on how it is working. Then shift to politicians.

You only need a couple visible figures.

2018-07-30 22:58:00 UTC  

And enough attention to maintain focus among the base.

2018-07-30 22:59:48 UTC  

Seems like one obstacle is communicating to moneyed conservatives why they need to fund these efforts instead of investing that money in something that's going to generate a return.

2018-07-30 23:00:13 UTC  

Because a lot of people are just going to read about this and tune out.

2018-07-30 23:00:24 UTC  

Oh yes. That's actually why I like the Kochs. He understands the importance of the culture war and doesn't just play "buy Republican ads" game.

2018-07-30 23:00:26 UTC  

They think it doesn't matter to society at large.

2018-07-30 23:00:43 UTC  

The real challenge is getting the Rightwing grassroots to care.

2018-07-30 23:01:09 UTC  

Think of the last time you found a far left and how many NGOs they had on their car. Every one of those bumper stickers was money directed for a cause.
