Some things come undone of their own doing. Usually when it occurs it couldn't happen to a more deserving group. And this is another case after 35 years of their reign and terror, the elite crowd from academia to bureaucrat city to Wall Street, the elites are getting their well-deserved comeuppance and more.
In the past they used subterfuge to try to fight off or question the questioners. "Who are they?" was one of their favorite ploys. Well, we all now know who they are. They have names, they have occupations and professions and they had leverage. From academia to Hollywood to Wall Street and Washington.
Never again concede your leverage. Never again be afraid to stand up for what you believe in, never again be afraid to speak up against the evils of PC or the use of your tax dollars to promote PC propaganda in our state supported institutions. Don't be afraid to vote your purse strings. Trade embargoes don't all have to be international. They can be domestic.
We've said all along PC economics and social sciences are the enemies of your freedom and liberty. Don't drop out. Dig in. The line is already down. Question PC at every turn. These zealots are masters in the use of force and PC is their primary weapon. And force is the only thing they'll ever understand. This is not a time for peace pipes. These people intended to take no prisoners. Think otherwise at your own enslavement.

Ideas played an important role in creating the conditions that produced Brexit and Trump. The ‘social sciences’ — especially economics — legitimated a set of ideas about the economy that were aggressively peddled and became the conventional wisdom in the policies of mainstream political parties, to the extent that the central theme of the age came to be that there was no alternative. The victory of these ideas in politics in turn strengthened the iron-handed enforcers of the same ideas in academic orthodoxy.
It is never clear whether ideas or interests are the prime mover in shaping historical events, but only ideas and interests together can sustain a ruling consensus for a lengthy interval, such as the historic period of financialization and globalization running over the last 35 years. The role of economics in furnishing the now-rebuked narratives that have reigned for decades in mainstream political parties can be seen in three areas
