Third prong is not just implausible but it is impossible.
The left took over the major institutions when the institutions were politically neutral or centrist, no one who is currently to the right of Marx can get high enough to successfully take over any major institution.
The solution is to build parallel institutions while discrediting current institutions and pushing them to total collapse.
There will be a time when "taking over" is viable, but definitely not in the near future. That would probably be more like looting them after they've collapsed though.
Academia is beyond lost.
Certain fields are in different stages of progressive rot but the truth cannot be avoided that it is too late to salvage the current institutions.
Parallel institutions were needed many many decades ago.
As the saying goes, the best time to plant a tree was 50 years ago and the second best time to plant a tree is now.
Building new decentralized uncorruptible institutions should be one of the right's main goals.
I think there should be a three-pronged strategy.
Third may seem implausible. But how plausible did it seem that the worst people in the world would manage to take them over to begin with?
I agree with both of the first two prongs.
