re: Does anyone else believe all of these campus "protests" are a big setup?

Progressivism, aka Transnational Progressivism does not take 'organization', as John Fonte's original Essay pointed out. People who are sophisticated 'see and feel' the intellectual and emotive persuasion in said TP ideology, and need no outside organizational force to convince them that such is morally and practically superior. Albeit, 'birds of feather, flock together'. That is why TP (Global DEI) will ultimately rule the World, for a given and likely short-lived time period, in that it is analogous to the dangerous and inevitable Genetic Engineering that will be happen because of the potential good that such 'may' accomplish.

They say that you can't destroy an idea. and that is true. Ideas generally have to become reality via real life consequences, I.e. we "can tell a tree by they fruit that it bears". Not necessarily the good or evil of the people who misguidedly believe and act on bad ideas, but the Ideas themselves.

"Behold, there is a way that seemeth right unto man, but the end thereof is destruction". The Truth can always be found in the Good Book, as cryptic and problematic as it is re "eyes that can see and ears that can hear".

Truth is in the mail and the 'Second Coming' is in the 'clouds'. For the Lord's Own. Lord have mercy on them who seek and worship Love.
