Set to the cast of Friends for some reason, but it fits because they're bourgie white people.

I get it, but the amount of college-bashing posts is starting to feel more like general anti-intellectualism rather than well-intentioned critique. There are based teachers who've been jailed, tortured, murdered and disappeared for protesting fascism. There are also teachers like my old history instructor, a coward who said that the transatlantic slave trade wasn't a crime against humanity because "it was legal at the time."

In the west, there's a lot of the latter and almost none of the former. I'm not anti-intellectual, but western academia often only opposes the status quo when it can be sure to do it in a useless way. The most widespread views are liberal because they have the ideological and material support of the ruling class. The problem isn't that it's worse than the rest of western society, the problem is that it's part of the rest of western society.
