    Indeed. And what about the university speaking thing? It's not that half the population merely "don't want to see the speaker", it's that half the population believe the speaker is dangerous and should not be allowed to speak. If they merely weren't interested in seeing the speaker, then they simply wouldn't go. This has not changed in recent years. Commented Mar 15, 2021 at 9:49
  • Compare a biology professor coming to talk about the structure of a frog lung, which many students might find boring but probably wouldn't actively oppose, to Adolf Hitler coming to talk about why Jews are bad and should be expelled from the country, which students probably would actively oppose. (Do frogs have lungs? I assume so) Commented Mar 17, 2021 at 16:03
