But duopoly? The real threats always come from unconsidered vectors. Here:
https://quillette.com/2018/07/02/thr...ia-university/ a chap says: 'I had hoped sciences and engineering were somewhat insulated from the progressives. But if Media Studies students are Teaching Assistants in the College of Engineering, that means the progressives are infecting – yes, infecting – other departments than the social “sciences.” Yes, “sciences” because from what I can tell, true science has been all but abandoned in these fields. If they are truly spreading into the hard sciences and engineering, I fear for the bridges and skyscrapers n 20 years after our scientists and engineers are taught that physics and mathematics are products of the cis-white racist patriarchy and can be ignored for “your truth.”"
OMG
The '30s and '40s only had to worry about Stalinist Communists in the intelligence services, Manhattan Project, and the factories. But Media Studies majors in the Schools of Engineering!
On reflection, if modern Engineering students can't outwit Media Studies TAs, then maybe the West
is doomed.
