Yes. They are.
They are batshit insane and the people in academia are off the fucking rails.
Issue is these people go from school to college to uni to a nice chushty academic job, no real life experience or living in the real world. They think that shit like "decolonising" and being a prick to those of us who are mixed race who don't fulfill their expectations of how we are meant to be act and be by lecturing us about our "internalised racism" (whatever the hell that is) is how most people live.
They are all insane and need meds and treatment and keeping away form a system that is meant to encourage freedom of thought in young people. The Uni system is one in which stating a fact - that only biological women have vaginal cervixes, for example - can see you expelled.
