In the late ‘60s, to right-wing activists, communists were over-running campuses and administrators needed to be subpoenaed and law enforcement sent in to forcibly end protests.

In 2024, to right-wing activists, antisemites are over-running college campuses and university administrators need to be subpoenaed and law enforcement sent in to forcibly end protests.

A historian of the reaction to campus protests lays out the parallels:

Enseigner l’histoire récente en France, c'est montrer "la bonne volonté des acteurs gouvernementaux légitimes."

● La faute aux « extrémistes » ;
● Les autres acteurs exonérés de toute responsabilité.

I hope I'm not alone in this - I own multiple that were assigned in my classes and I read them now, 15+ years later. In many cases, we were not assigned the entire book, just select chapters, so this is the first time I've read them cover to cover.

It's interesting to read them in light of experiences since college. Also to read them in their entirety, see all they had to say.

Durkheim: The negative cult cannot exist without causing suffering. Pain is one of it's necessary conditions.

Why yes, I do believe that my big fekkin' research paper for this class (REL580 Theories of Religion - capstone class) will be Autistic Masking as a Means of Devotion to the Negative Cult of “Normal”

Mind. Blown. So. Many. Thoughts.
