Intellectual Dark Web....Silenced Majority, NOT SILENT! Eric Weinstein & Ben Shapiro

Intellectual Dark Web

Intellectual dark web (IDW) is a term used by an informal group to refer to themselves and other allied commentators who oppose what they believe to be the dominance of identity politics, political correctness, partisan politics and the establishment in higher education and the news media. 

The term metaphorically compares opposition to mainstream opinion to what is illicitly found on the dark web. The term was coined by Eric Weinstein, and was popularized in a 2018 editorial by Bari Weiss. [1]

Weinstein's characterization was met with a mixed response, focusing on the assertion that members were silenced.

Sources differ on the nature of the IDW, with some describing it as left, and others as ideologically diverse, but nonetheless united against primary adversaries hailing predominantly from progressives, including postmodernism, post-structuralism, Marxism, and political correctness.
