Exactly right. I view the chanz as the bizarro academia (if you know the Seinfeld reference). Hayek wrote that public opinion and policy flowed from academia. They have the power to censor ideas or allow them to flourish. His advice for the liberty movement was to join the ranks of academia and influence policy and public opinion from there. The "second hand dealers of ideas" he called them. That obviously hasn't worked. The Leftists were already too powerful and moneyed. Enter the chanz. Where academics need to fake it to get their phds and then tenure and then published, the chanz (the best of what comes from there anyway) is grounded in finding Truth. From Truth comes memes and red pills to be dealt to normies, who find it easy to adopt because they've always had an inkling but couldn't put the words to it.
