Back in 2018, Andrew Sullivan wrote "we all live on campus now" about wokeness. Sullivan was right in a way he did not understand. The project of surveillance and snitching was perfected on campus, and is now being exported to other public employees. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/governing-...

The project of surveillance and control also includes threat, turning anonymous professors into public figures designated for their two minutes of hate. I’ve seen friends being featured in national stories that falsely portrayed them as radical leftists. If they keep their job, they prepare for what follows: shutting down their social media and turning off the office phone to manage the barrage of threats (harder to do with email), and communicating with campus or local police to determine which threats should be taken seriously. I imagine a number of career civil servants are doing the same right now. This should not be part of the job of being a public employee.
