and don't forget, a lot of the foundation as to why universities are so strongly associated with socially progressive ideology is because they were so visibly and strongly part of the anti-war movements of the second half of the 20th century and early 21st century...as well as other social issues at the same time such as integration.
while the hippies smelled bad, reeked of privileged superiority, and had terrible taste in fashion, they were 100% correct about vietnam. while fox news was absolutely maligning and villainizing my friends and me in 2002 and 2003 for protesting the invasion of iraq in a disruptive way, we were absolutely right. (ironically, something of a virtue amongst perverted republicans now despite them calling us traitors that should be executed at the time)
and i would think someone with an anti-adventurism slant as you do would have more appreciation for the water carried by progressives on college campuses for the last 100 years. you have repeatedly posted about the ills of israel's handling of palestinians, bibi being a war criminal, and the u.s. having a pox on its house because of its support. columbia is being defunded by the president of the united states for allowing its students to express the same sentiments and that whole negative association of ideological environments that people that would go to the university of austin would point to would be rooted in said expression. that would seem problematic to me on your behalf.
