Intellectual Self-Destruction: How the West Gambles Away Its Future

By Franziska Sittig and Noam Petri

Dive into the unsettling rise of a radical anti-Western coalition within the sanctuaries of scholarship, where Islamist and far-left ideologies converge. What began as a fringe student movement has now permeated elite academic institutions, subtly dictating the narratives in politics and media.
Through meticulous case studies from the US and Germany, this research uncovers the dark underbelly of ideological extremism, institutional betrayal, and the surge in antisemitic violence. It draws chilling parallels to historical academic dalliances with totalitarianism, revealing how today's universities are legitimizing Islamism and radical leftist thought. This study is a clarion call, exposing how Western academia is at a tipping point, with Europe on the brink of following America's path of radicalization. It's an urgent plea to safeguard our cultural and intellectual heritage from the encroaching shadows of ideological subversion.
