Actually, the behavior we're seeing from university people is very similar to what occurred in Germany during the 1920s and early 1930s. And I find it an interesting contrast between this and the heavy hand that was used in the 1980s when various campus protests took place, or what would happen if the protests happened to come from anoth…

And let's not forget this protest model was (successfully) practiced by a number of BLM supporters and the like not so many years ago. It's an established playbook, one they also copied (intentionally or otherwise) from earlier movements...just like their race-based focus and hatred. Just because they happen to call themselves Marxists doesn't make it so. They have far more in common with the National Socialists than they'd like to admit, and this current crop of students would do well to reflect on that reality as well.
There are also some interesting studies out about how many of the leaders within the SD and SS were university-trained lawyers, doctors, and other academics...most with at least respectable if not high scores on their finishing exams. People like to paint the majority of the NSDAP as unwashed, uneducated fools...and while that might in a very general way hold true for the SA, other segments of the party were very different.
Well, we should never forget the part that education played in Rwanda. where people were taught to hate each other. Or in 1960s communist China in the cultural revolution We all know where the identity politics goes. Usually to gulags or violence...

Yes. The historian Niall Ferguson documents the case of Germany in his article, The Treason of the Intellectuals, at The Free Press.
