What track record does he have successfully fighting the left that would lead you to expect better?
For the moment put aside all talk of him being controlled opposition, a gatekeeper to keep people from going further right, and focus on the things we definitely do know about him. He's an academic who has spent his professional career teaching at universities. What track record do his strategies have in the universities he's been a part of? Has he been able to stem the tide there? Or do they march ever further left as he at best acts as the occasional speed bump?
All these people from the academy, the Jordan Petersons, Brett Weinsteins, James Lindsays, etc... should be asked one question and only this question until they answer it to our satisfactionl: given that you have been so ineffective at preventing this Woke infection in universities -- which is effectively the exclusive domain of liberal and left-wing individuals and ought to the be the ideal proving ground for your ideas -- why should we follow your recommendations for what to do in society as a whole?
