It’s true that you’re probably not going to convert someone by roundly humiliating them for being a moron - but you’ll convert a lot of people who may have silently agreed in a totally permissive environment, but do not want to end up similarly labeled a moron.

Somehow, the constellation of highly-educated and influential people who spent years extremely concerned about things like inclusion trainings seem mostly unbothered by the creation of an ideological regime that uses the power of the state to punish even trivial expressions of liberal tolerance.
