Happy Leaves!

This is how multiculturalism has slipped into identitarian communitarianism, and how it is turning into totalitarianism before our eyes. Savage censorship is imposed by micro-collectives that only authorize themselves, in contempt of the law, while all-out politicization transforms activists into legislators and judges, in the name of "everything is political" dear to fascist militias, Stalinist apparatchiks and their leftist heirs. And, as in any totalitarian atmosphere, fear reigns supreme, on American campuses as well as in the offices of French university presidents: fear of losing one's job, fear of losing face, fear above all of finding oneself in the wrong camp or - worse - of finding oneself alone.
