    The Nazis historically did go after universities and professors. If you ever take a class on Heidegger, it’s overshadowed by his membership in the party, and the fact he participated in carrying out the parties policy - firing all Jewish professors, including his friend Hussarl.

    Colleges are places where ideas compete, and fascism cannot compete as an idea but only through force. The crypto angle might be part of this case, but we’ve already seen Florida and Texas trying to set up their own controlled university systems - fucking with colleges and professors is on the table.

      Yes, it’s why when you meet a fascist in the wild or online they will always counterargument with trolling and non-sequitur nonsense. Fascism cannot survive sincerity.
