Makes me seethe that the same people who advanced censorship now suddenly pretend their views are nuanced and deserve freedom of speech protections

But the cost of destroying of genuine free thought and nuance, and having affirmative action deny talented individuals their potential makes the meal bittersweet

That's accurate and I understand you. I have trouble waffling back and forth with it myself, but things aren't ever as bad as they seem and it does feel like the crazy is starting to get checked, like normal people are moving away from extremes.
Chin up, carry on.

That's true. A few peeps I knew dropped out of my uni because of its current culture. But they still had the motivation to be successful and did so.

The current campus extremism has a very short shelf life and college isn't the only way.
I don't think there's going to be any major messy race revolution, but I think DEI and associated nonsense will be quietly pared back aver the next ten years.
Sure, grifters will whine and b-word, but that'll be fun! The extreme right got cowed and exposed for Charlottesville, now the left are having their extremist moment, and normal people don't like it anymore than they like burning crosses and lynchings.

It feels like the "pendulum swing" when it comes to the Overton Window, the extreme edges of it are always really noticable. So whatever the next societal grifts are they'll LOOK like what people wanted when the pendulum was at an extreme.
I think life becomes a lot less confusing when you identify extremes, where they come from, and avoid them.

Yeah many went into trades school, family business, or did some sort of entrepreneurship.
It does seem like DEI is running its course. So many profs are seeing the problem of students not caring or using mental illness not to complete their assignments

Very true and it sucks. But that already happened, and now it seems things are slowly moving away from that, and the cope and seethe from the people who did it will be delicious.
I want next year to be filled with 'This you?' posts.
