It is about undermining the development of expertise and knowledge production. Knowledge and information undergird democracy. I think the plan is to cut the ability to create new knowledge and keep voters in the dark so authoritarian government can rise.
I think that will be the outcome but I’m not so sure I impute a coherent plan or agenda to these folks (maybe I’m wrong); it feels more to me like an inarticulate anti-institutional lashing out
I agree. It’s hard to see what is coherent and thoughtout and what is just random—which may also be the point. But then again, we’re scholars so we tend to overthink the simplicity of randomness.
