that history is a little deeper than i would've preferred to go for this post but there is that, yes

i'm just skeptical it is a large driver of what you see on colleges, because, no lie, your median white leftist resents being asked to read anything older than 1970

i have no coherent mental model for how the anti-semitism of 1917 would've made the journey to the campus of Columbia, so instead i reduced the scope of my analysis to the last 20-ish years
