    I hate to say it, because it sounds like conspiracy-mongering, but the reason is “Money”.

    A lot of people want the narrative to go a certain way, and those people have a lot of money and thusly a lot of influence. That they’re losing control of the narrative has caused them a kind of narcissistic injury, and they’re lashing out.

      Donations from the billionaire class (and the threat of their cessation) cost people their jobs at universities last year. They threaten student protests right now. This doesn’t seem the least bit conspiracy-mongering to me.

      Could you elaborate a bit on who you think is doing this and why?
