Even those who aren’t surprised by the simple fact of Donald Trump’s assault on America’s universities must be shocked by the full frontal magnitude of it all, belated attempts to walk back parts of it, notwithstanding. (Harvard is putting up a courageous, clever, and effective defense.)
Turns out “thought police” was just another projection of the GQP
Oh they always appropriate the language and people from the other side (after they are gone). In addition to projecting everything they want to do (cancel others, enact a strict political correctness on everything from how those they perceive as enemies behave when a song is played a piece of cloth is present to how consenting adults express their love, etc…), that is.
They tried to claim that MLK is one of theirs (lol) even as they called him Communist (and far worse, of course, given they are filled to the brim with overt racists).
They even try to claim Orwell as one of theirs…WTAF? Orwell was a socialist, FFS. You have to be some kind of extreme dumbass or into brazen lying to spout such nonsense, but it turns out the qons are into both things - being incredibly ignorant and/or top-tier lying.
So when it comes to things like “thought crime” - Marco Rubio has already expressed that he thinks the government has the right to kidnap people they think don’t have the right thoughts.
The way I see is that the left is not for thought control but rather for not being an asshole or spreading assholery.
If one wants to think certain people are not people, whatever. Thoughts don’t hurt people and they aren’t contagious. It’s the moment one speaks or acts on their thoughts there is a problem.
