Why would this be the first time I see this framed this way? Why would popular left wing ideological voices not highlight and argue against the impact of this when the opposite side is clearly concerned about it? Is it a matter of political conveniency and not wanting to alienate left wing voices or a true belief that these issues are not important to highlight in the way that Peterson, Shapiro and other academics are highlighting? However, a move against academia altogether, which was a big part of the driving message behind brexit and trump, is definitely not the correct approach. A much better one would be to fight these moves in the ideological and intellectual arena, which to be fair to Shapiro he is doing with this book, but does not appear to be replicated in a lot of the other channels that are driving the anger and rage behind extreme right wing politics
