Or doesn't care (t. boomers)
Most people aren't like us. Politics isn't central in their lives
Mizzou did get bit hard--but that seemed like a one off bc that Mellissa Click(sp?) and her "can I get some muscle over here" episode
The bullying of that asian freelance journalist student
Studies show people exhibit stronger racial preference and anxiety when made aware of projected demographic changes. A lot of our job is just getting info in front of people
College sports teams are huge with donators--so we know they aren't concerned with white students
I agree on that, the struggle is how to get that info to them with the mass censorship going on
Cracking the cult of sportsball is another story, though Kaepernick helped us there
We almost *need* the left to keep celebrating our decline--they have more reach
Good thing they're too radical to listen to H. Clinton on that
Given that mainstream conservatives oppose the modern university system, I would think we just need to get one of their big donors behind groups that would reach out to alumni and try to get them to pressure universities into scaling back the propaganda
It's worth a try
Public universities should also be barred from using de facto political litmus tests like "faculty must support our core values of diversity and tolerance" in hiring
Universities are a huge target for the left, so they might take up that funding through their giant donor bases (being that anyone can donate to any University)
NYU losing donors? Hello Bloomberg...
Public colleges and other organizations that get government funding (eg Planned Parenthood) should be barred from donating to political causes too
USC and UCLA losing donors? Hello Hollywood elite...
I could see that, but at some point does Soros real donate to every college without cutting spending on something else?
There's a lot of big money donors on the left--and I really think they would throw everything at it to keep those institutions in their pockets. Not too mention the legal pilpul they would pull (as they always find something)
I guarantee most rich Alabama alumni aren't antifa sympathizers. Even just a 10-20% cut in donations from them would be worrisome for administrators
They can't afford to lose the ability to indoctrinate the next generation of people in the middle of a revolution
I think we should do it anyway, just to cause the left to waste time and resources dealing with it
The left has a lot of resources but you can only spend each dollar on one thing. They have to pick and choose their fights. Opening up more fronts and forcing them to personally subsidize universities hurts them
Do you think the donors would pull their funding? It might mean getting labeled as one of us and they'd lose social status (and not to mention their businesses and personal money)
The left is like the mob = stop paying and *you'll pay* attitude
Some may even signal by giving *more*
That was a few years ago now, though
Much different environment now--especially if it was done as a part of a movement to alter the University culture and classes
2015 and 2018 are different universes, comparatively
Anyone who acts against the left in any manner gets the "supremacist" treatment now
Post C-ville America
Proud Boys a domestic terror group, Antifa with media support immune from law enforcement
I don't know, when the news shows an email from a donor stating why they're pulling their funding, they'll get wrecked "to make an example out of them"
Or if an ultimatum is given, it'd be worse. I'm not trying to collapse any effort to defund Universities, but the left's recent grasp of social control is a monolith that ruins much of what we can do
It may have never happened precisely bc the donors know what would happen. If they do pull funding, they'll do it silently--but if it becomes a movement, all the alumni groups (an elite social group in themselves) will begin their rumor mill
I see them like I see Hollywood actors who are conservative: do the bit or don't get work and then you're done for
Celebrities get asked to do some LGBT fund raiser--and they're too afraid to say no
If we can get back online like normal people are allowed to do, we could fight the culture war, but I think we're crippled, blind, and mute without equal free speech rights and the enforcement of laws equally
(PB are a domestic t group, Antifa gets media support plus legal immunity)
That Lawn Society is the type of thing I'm talking about. How do we convince these people to give up that status and to counter signal the others in their elite group?
