And just like that, Harvard University is fascist

Former Harvard President Claudine Gay’s resignation has made many liberals, Democrats, socialists, and communists quite upset.
As a black woman leading arguably the nation’s preeminent institution of higher learning, while reinforcing left-wing cultural and political ideologies, Gay represented everything the Left hoped to accomplish. She was a minority woman and radical left-winger in a position of power to continue the brainwashing of students in academia. And with their anger, liberals, Democrats, and others on the political Left have done the second thing they know how to do best, after fake cries of racism: Call those they disagree with fascists.
DATA SHOW PUBLIC PREFERS REPUBLICAN CONTROL
Numerous posts on social media have referred to Gay’s resignation as the result of the work of fascists. Because if we know anything, it is that Harvard University, the beacon of ultra-left-wing political idealism, the zenith of liberal education, is full of fascists. It’s the latest example, and quite possibly the dumbest one, of how emotionally distressed leftists throw around the term “fascist” whenever they are unable to process something that displeases them emotionally. It’s the intellectual and “mature” retort of sticking their tongues out at classmates they didn’t like in kindergarten.
Consider just some of the numerous posts on X, formerly Twitter, that did this.
Author Celeste Ng posted, “Harvard once again seizing the oppprtunity (sic) to lead from behind and crumble to fascists out of fear of ‘looking bad.’ Good job, guys. Way to be used.”
Thomas Lecaque, who claims to be a historian based on his X bio, posted, “All the reasons why we’re talking about Claudine Gay are bulls***, and Harvard bowing down to fascist propaganda is the biggest bulls*** of all.”
Stan Oklobdzija, a professor at Tulane University, posted, “Harvard has a $50 billion endowment–more than the GDP of Latvia–and they still let a bunch of fascist mouth-breathers bully their president into resigning. Congratulations to American universities on winning the 2024 Neville Chamberlain Award for Excellence in Capitulation.”
A group known as the International Youth and Students for Social Equality in the U.S. posted, “The toppling of the president of Harvard by means of a far-right state conspiracy marks a milestone in the attack on democratic rights in the US, the strengthening of fascist forces and the attempt to criminalize all opposition to the crimes of imperialism and capitalism.”
And Professor Michael E. Mann, from my alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, posted, “This was never about plagiarism, or Harvard, and certainly not antisemitism (today’s right is the embodiment of bigotry in all its forms). It’s about taking down academia, the largest remaining obstacle to their fascist remaking of America.”
Incidentally, Mann showed his commitment to freedom, tolerance, diversity, acceptance, and inclusion, by blocking me after the above tweet. But yet he so liberally, pun intended, throws around the term “fascist.”
Authors, historians, and college professors are publicly posting about the fascist threat … at Harvard. These are indicative of the toxic people responsible for molding the minds of this country’s youth. These are the kinds of people who are teaching students at institutions of higher learning people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to attend.
It’s one thing to call a Republican, Trump supporter, or even former President Donald Trump a fascist. While clearly untrue, such insults have become commonplace by those on the Left. However, as comical as it is, labeling people from the country’s pre-eminent left-wing academic institution as “fascists” is indicative of just how unhinged and unserious such people are. For a group of people who regularly tout how educated they are, they repeatedly show their lack of intelligence. There is no serious and legitimate fascist threat in this country.

Cries of fascism are nothing more than unhinged insults hurled at people who do things that are disliked by liberals, Democrats, socialists, and communists. It is all performative, hyperbolic, hysteria meant to distract from their anti-American and corrupt behavior and reinforce the notion of a class of perpetually aggrieved. The fact that these people have now resorted to calling Harvard fascist should discredit any further use of the term in political discourse.
Any leftist, communist, socialist, liberal, or Democrat using the term “fascist” after today should warrant a response of ridicule, laughter, and scorn — not any serious concern.
