Your take on this? I believe there is some truth in what he said.
I agree with Ben completely. The leftists have always been fearful of the intellectuals who are considered less likely to be brainwashed by their radical ideologies. During China's Cultural Revolution, the intellectuals were the first ones to be persecuted and purged. They were Mao's # 1 target, just like white straight male being the #1 target of the SJWs. I hope more people will open their eyes and see the truth.
Sounds about right. IDW takes the best thinkers and ideas out there all in one place and creates a space where thinkers can think and speakers can speak freely and actually develop these ideas further through thoughtful and intelligent dialogue and mutual interest. Those with agandas not favorable to that have a lot to fear.
