I think I’d say the same about American campuses, though, that the sense of the creation of safe spaces and dominance of that sort of postcolonial mindset is really only seen as certain institutions. I mean, GSU certainly has it’s share of leftists organizations and the like, but they attract a tiny fraction of our students, honestly speaking. Since GSU skews heavily towards working class kids of color, they have less time to devote to activism. That being said, the couple of times there have been kids on campus attempting to do things like set up a “European pride” organization or whatever dumb shit, they get nowhere, because that’s just not going to fly here… because, well, it’s a black majority school. I actually saw a flyer the other day of one of these guys put up by the antifascist organization on campus, basically warning people that he’s trying to ferret out progressives and antifascists.
Much of this seems to be more about the perception of college campuses as hotbeds of progressiveism and postcolonialism, and how the right employs those ideas for itself. He makes an interesting point about how this brings the two sides to the same point, but I’m really not sure how much I agree with that, TBH.
