Harvard tweets 2+2 = 5 . This only part of why we must purge academia of all Marxists, Post-Modernists and SJWs.

It's more about SJWs doing SJW things. 2+2=5 was a meme based on them changing objective things like in 1984. SJWs had to take up a position to defend it. They need to convince everyone that woke thoughts are more valid than objective reasoning.
Anybody can believe in the truth, having somebody believe a lie is a show of faith and power.
Orwell was very on point with the language he invented for 1984. Doublethink, believing two contradictory things at the same time. Crimestop, having your brain shut down thoughts before this doublethink is fully examined. Thoughtcrime, being able to think freely and do things like doubt your own doublethink and the regime.
These people know exactly what they're doing and the people under them are useful idiots. When you point out the connections to Orwell, first they will deny them saying "We're talking about something totally different!" and then later they will embrace them saying "IngSoc is more moral than capitalism at least!"
And forcing people to openly support obvious lies is intensely demoralizing.
You're completely wrong.
This is the essence of the intellectual elite who are actually very intelligent and are used to making wildly complicated abstract rhetorical arguments about how if you re-define and re-analyze everything in just the right way, then they are right.
It's mental masturbation to the extreme, and you actually have to be pretty intelligent to do it.
You know what they say: people who get their laughs by pretending to be retarded will soon be joined by actual retards who think they are in good company.
I wonder how long it will take.
I think we've clearly passed that point. But they're not all retards, probably 50-50 between intelligent fraudsters and genuine retards.
If you're talking about the broader movement including the useful idiot footsoldiers... it's way more like 80-20 in favour of retards IMO. Certainly weak-minded and easily led/cowed if not retarded.
I'd say you also need more than a hint of sociopathy to actually go through with all this re-defining, because at the end of the day it's nothing more than lying (to yourself) and normal people do not like to lie.
The ability to lie and manipulate is also a highly intellectual act that requires a good deal of abstraction. This isn't to say you can't have dumb pathological liars. But to be any good at it, you need to be at least clever.
