just got an email from my alma mater saying it had been compelled to deploy police to defend the Community from violent outside agitators who had begun to protest on the quad; the first video in my feed is cops in full gear arresting the chair of the philosophy department

The only "outside agitators" I have ever seen on a college campus were religious proselytizers, sometimes also with a graphic anti-abortion message.

Traditionally I think the cops are supposed to give the chair of the philosophy department the options of being banned from campus or drinking hemlock.

The “outside agitators” claim to be students from - gasp - DIFFERENT NEARBY SCHOOLS. You let them put up tents and next thing you know they’ll be sneaking into physics lectures without paying.

Pretty sure most right-wingers think of philosophy profs in terms of a foreign body infecting the body politic, so this checks out.
