But they're far beyond his parody of them now and showing no signs of slowing down. The illiberal, joyless, humourless, virtue-signalling, racist and anti-intellectual groupthink that now obtains in modern universities is genuinely scary. There were always right-on lefties in universities (it being their natural home), but it's now enshrined in the culture and rules of these places. To question these positions is now tantamount to heresy and punishable by witch hunt. It's genuinely bad out there and getting way past a joke.
