Just like Rudsia-gate, alt-right was brought to you by the democrat party.
Are people tribal, yes. Is antisemitism widespread among the white population - absolutely no. Is antisemitism huge among the progressive movement - absolutely.
The greatest danger to the Jewish life is the progressive movement.
The Alt Right is the new Right combining antisemitism usually with "no more wars" isolationism, white lives matter etc. It is bigger than ever on the internet with dozens of youtube channels and growing twitter X posts since Musk took over, including the not so dark web. If you think it is fading away you are wrong and fortunately for your mental health sanity not reading what these internet morons are posting. Just 1 example is youtuber 20 something Hannah Pearl w 1.7 million followers just posting her holocaust denial "just questioning" video for the clicks and giggles.
Thank you, WSJ, for exposing the cost structure of higher ed. I've been beating this drum for 15+ years, after spending nearly 20 years in academia. The cost explosion started in the 1990s.
1. Exploding administration and administrative costs: almost universal
2. Buildings and facilities, extravagant expansion: widespread
3. Expensive sports programs: select places
The excuses about state legislatures cutting back support are absurd. All they did mainly was simply to cap state support in the face of administrations gone wild. The administrations then switched to passing on the cost explosion in tuition.
Schools need to be forced to reduce their administrations back to the student/administrator and faculty/administrator ratios prevalent in the early 1990s, before all this madness started. Building and facility expansions should track the growth and decline in student and departmental trends.

“On free speech: absolutism” -- to be fair that’s not an inherently far right position.
Nat Hentoff, or the ACLU in their finest hour (many moons ago), were surely not far right?
Good essay though.
