I did most of a PhD in history at UCLA from 1979-86. It was an amazing school that taught me how to teach undergrads and gave me two grants to do research in Barcelona. This UCLA and Columbia 2024 are now the deformed ghosts of 1968. Ethnically cleansing their Jewish students from campus makes them more like Vienna U. in 1938.

Why? It's human nature to attack the weakest fake enemy available. That's why the German socialist August Bebel called anti-semitism "the socialism of fools" (Die Sozialismus der Dummen Kerle). It's a symptom of snowballing collective narcissistic idiocracy. Italian version: the mother of the idiots is always pregnant. If not stopped early and hard, it destroys everything in its path. Like market crashes, reversing its momentum once it gets going is nearly impossible.
