The feeling I have is such deja-vu. The Caltech LGB group was prevented at the last moment in 1985 from hosting a speaker from Johns-Hopkins (who was a Harvard Fellow) on "Lust, Love and Limerance" because "Lust" was unacceptable in the title.
The deplatforming on the right and left are therefore fundamentally different. If the Newman people object to Catholic institutions hosting anti-Catholic speakers or performances that is different from Palestinian supporters objecting to Jewish speakers at secular institutions. Nazis and Skokie and all that but would you consider it deplatforming if a Jewish institution didn't allow neoNazis to speak? Or if a HBCU did not welcome the KKK?
Would it make a difference if everyone knew the evolutionary origins of anger etc being the first ever emotion of disgust felt by the first ever person who DIDN'T EAT SHIT as a result (paraphrasing Dr Haidt's RIGHTEOUS MIND...)😁😁😁😁

Whats the left /right % for the whole dataset?
FIRE has supported our local underground socialist student paper. Just recently they posted my essay criticizing the Colleges' Title IX & DEI program: https://bereatorch.com/2024/03/08/deconstructing-the-baffling-bull-behind-title-ix-at-our-college/

Where are all these right-wing protesters depicted on the charts? I never see any in real life.
