Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.
No anti-nautilism posts. See: Eco-fascism Primer
Vaush posts go in the_dunk_tank
Dunk posts in general go in the_dunk_tank, not here
Don't post low-hanging fruit here after it gets removed from the_dunk_tank
Set to the cast of Friends for some reason, but it fits because they're bourgie white people.
I had a tenured agroecology professor, a Napa Valley wine mom, who started each lecture with a land acknowledgment and then talked about her extensive work contracting with cattle ranchers to greenwash their operations. The natives in this area were killed for cattle land.
At this point a land acknowledgement without doing anything is just gloating over the genocide your ancestors committed
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."
Professors are a land of contrasts

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.
The purpose of bourgeois academia is reproducing bourgeois culture. That fact doesn’t negate the exploitation of academic workers or erase the persecution that some teachers and students experience for advocating revolutionary and anti imperialist ideas.
It does mean that liberal academia as an institution is incapable of going beyond reform for exactly the same reason that bourgeois electoralism is incapable of going beyond reform. The reason individual students and teachers are singled out isn’t because their behavior is uniquely threatening or revolutionary, it’s because it’s seen as a betrayal of the foundation of liberal academic institutions by their peers.
What’s being bashed here is the petty bourgeois and labor aristocratic class character of liberal academics, not whatever superficial hodgepodge of American TV-brained nonsense is repeated by people that haven’t seen the inside of a college campus in over 40 years, if ever.
Reproducing? Or justifying.
Because I would argue justifying.
Justifying is part of it, but it’s not enough. It’s not enough that people believe in liberalism in an abstract sense, they have to be trained to go out into the world and take jobs maintaining and expanding the machinery of empire. It’s why elite private universities have the prestige that they do. It’s not that learning is valued for its own sake, or that these institutions do a better job at distributing knowledge. It’s that these institutions have the best track record of producing the future imperial ruling class. Nobody tries to get into the best school they can because they think they’ll learn better, they do it to maximize their potential class mobility.
The answer is simple: the personal qualities of present-day professors are such that we may find among them even exceptionally stupid people like Tugan. But the social status of professors in bourgeois society is such that only those are allowed to hold such posts who sell science to serve the interests of capital, and agree to utter the most fatuous nonsense, the most unscrupulous drivel and twaddle against the socialists. The bourgeoisie will forgive the professors all this as long as they go on “abolishing” socialism.

Oh, c'mon, this is unfair. The conference would definitely be called Post-Gaza conflict Arab literature, none of the organizers would have the courage to call it a genocide.
100 years from now there will be debates if it was "genocide" or just "ordinary war" and if "both sides bad"
...i hate that this isnt even joke.
I have some very good news about the likelihood of enough society remaining in a hundred years for any non-sustenance level debates to take place!
...I also have some very bad news for anyone that was hoping to still be alive in 50 years
There will likely be a lot of "shoot and cry" movies made about it from the perspective of the atrocity enjoyers that felt sad about it later. 
In a distant future, I know a more enlightened society will look back at us and wonder at how barbaric we were.
It's the year 2040. Hollywood has just announced "The Last Mujahideen", a film starring Tom Hanks' grandson.
Why is Adam Scott, Jason Bateman and John Mulleney in the friend cast?
Bruh why you gotta drag Cville like that lol
