you don't have to end this with "I'm a conservative." you made that quite clear when you pointed to a racist being rightly chastised for likening the violently oppressed people of the Gaza strip to vicious dogs as an example of campuses "stifling the free exchange of ideas."

You seem to be under the impression that folks like matt walsh are causing an image problem for the conservative movement. You are wrong. What they are doing is shining a spotlight on your side's actual problem: your ideas are at best bad, and at worst outright evil. Consider getting better ones?

The problem with conservative academic thought is that almost all of it is the product of white supremacist grift mills that pay people to write articles and pay other people to read them. Almost none of it is a genuine product of study and reflection. Instead it is the output of paid shill, and is such dreck that no one will read or listen to it without a financial incentive.

Cancel culture is the turning of a one-way conversation into a two-way conversation and the manifestation of cancel culture that most offends conservatives is telling people who suck, that they suck.
