@Gnomeshatecheese @Cousin_Isobel Gnomey, have you seen that podcast where he confesses he was part of the regime media in his rise, and is now feeling a bit "ashamed" . If you want to put your gnomey instincts to the test, sussing out his motives in that podcast might give us a better clue. He definitely believes those with an "elite" education, a real one, should run the world. Which is actually our crisis right now. Academia has lost all prestige and all competence in the eyes of everyone. So they can no longer lead by soft power, hence their new love of violence and censorship.
