"Following the Money": The Funding Sources Behind the Campus Protests; Resurrection of the Frat Bro and Protest Gender Politics
Description
Campus protests and civil unrest have hit America's colleges, and some of its cities. Yes, there are money sources behind many of these protests. But if you follow the money trail, what do you find?
Do you find a deliberately constructed plan to tear America apart at its seams? Or do you find a chaotic random web of naive philanthropists, "professional activists", and NGOs that simply lump together seemingly unrelated progressive causes?
I believe you find the latter. There is no Wizard of Oz orchestrating it all, just a "witches brew of billionaires, Islamists, and leftists" as Tablet Magazine puts it.
In this episode, I explore the web of funding sources - the Who, the What, the How, and the Why.
I also discuss the Resurrection of the American Frat Bro, as basic frat dudes are cheered on taking on the protestors.
