Well, as you know,
TheDuker has done demographic studies of who posts where. So we could, in a relatively straight forward and uncontroversial manner, sort peeps into three lists: (a) those who predominantly post in Alta, (b) those who post regularly in both, and (c) those who predominantly post in Baja.
So, let's say hypothetically, some peeps wanted to have a "constructive conversation" regarding your above stated positions. First, of course, they'd need to chat out what to do with posters on list (b). Posters like me, who live in a bi-national city, and thrive on the borders. They would end up with a finite and particular list of about three dozen Politards.

... on campus... will gladly condemn... disagree with passionately.
The next point of business would be to try to puzzle out WTF the above three bolded comments above. Why is "campus" mentioned? Is there some important distinction between on campus -vs- off campus activism that
FoldnDark here is trying to get at here? If so... what might that be? If not, then why did the fool slip that word in? Does he get paid by the word, or something. Why should we care about how 'gladly' some peep does his condemning? What different does it make how 'passionate' some peep's disagreement is?
This all reeks of emotional gibberish. But in an effort not to unintentionally 'strawman'
FoldnDark, due diligence would be needed to clarify that conjecture.

...so many of them almost universally... reject the idea there is anything out of the ordinary or wrong with the last few years of social justice activism on campus, and will gladly condemn the actions of a few mobs and Mao-like shame circles captured on video, proclaiming it's "just a few dumb kids" nbd or whatever, but they are blind to how similarly they act to those "dumb kids" when confronted by ideas they disagree with passionately.
The next order of business, would be to get down the nuts-n-bolts of clarifying the 11 bonded parts above. After that, they'd need to agree on a way of assigning the above ascribed alleged positions to the various Politards selected above.
Good luck with all that,
FoldnDark, good luck !!!1!
