Have you noticed the adjacency of
— the terminology of the woke left, and
— the language used by American conservatives to justify the current crackdown on free speech?
Republicans opposed cancel culture in academia and elsewhere. Now they are in government, they lecture Europeans about freedom, while organising the biggest crackdown on free speech since McCarthyism: hauling college presidents to inquisitions, firing dissidents, and deporting legal immigrants, for their alleged opinions. There are narrow exceptions to constitutionally protected speech, but these are limited to planning crimes, and incitement to immediate violence. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression explains:

Chutzpah isn’t just a jokey term in Yiddish for breathtaking hypocrisy; it’s a strategy for advancing Jewish interests. It means the only criterion for deciding what to say, write, or advocate, is not “is it true?” but “does it advance Jewish interests?”
How else to describe the Orwellian inversions which we hear and view every day?
— There have been numerous protests in universities, against the Israeli genocide. Zionist Jews and their politicians claim these protests are for the genocide of Jews.
— Politicians have claimed “Israel doesn’t need America; America needs Israel”: the opposite of the truth.
— Zionists claim their critics say “Zionists” when they mean “Jews”; in reality, Zionists say “Jews” when they mean “Zionists.”
— In a double lie, they falsely claim students are breaking the law by expressing sympathy for Hamas, and persuade administrations and government departments to expel and arrest them.
— It is not illegal to express sympathy for Hamas, and
— no evidence of any of those targeted expressing such sympathy has been produced.
The claims of Zionism are ridiculous, yet the most powerful government on earth is completely committed to them.
Government and Zionist proclamations on the “antisemitism crisis” in academia bear a striking resemblance to the campaign against “racism,” which reached a climax during 2020. The premises of both campaigns are false. There is no evidence that George Floyd was murdered for being black. Black students at Yale, Evergreen, etc. have not experienced racial discrimination. Neither have Jews at Harvard, Columbia, etc.. Every protest against the Israeli genocide has included a significant Jewish contingent. What has upset some Jews — the racialists — has been the criticism of Israel. It makes them feel unsafe:
The women who run the universities have accommodated the Jewish supremacists as cravenly as they did other minority activists. But the Jewish assault on freedom is worse than woke. It is backed by the government, and reinforced by the withdrawal of funds from non-compliant institutions, expulsions, arrests, and the threat of deportation. Most importantly, it helps Israel commit genocide, by undermining opposition to it within its most important supporter.
The manipulations of America and other open societies by different minority activists look similar because they exploit the same weakness: the eagerness with which people of European descent, despite, or because of, their unique efforts to end discrimination, are prepared to accept allegations of harbouring prejudice. The nearest thing I am aware of, to an explanation of that weakness, is Individualism and the Western Liberal Tradition, by Kevin MacDonald; I don’t know if I agree with it.
