almost all of my professors were overt libs and vicious little individualistic careerists with a few scattered libs that claimed to be anarchists I guess for cred?.. and the occasional paternalistic conservative never trump type of throwback. a friend of mine worked for a no joke, full blown, under 40, antesedevacantist tradcath freak show with a giant crucifix on her office wall. this was at a state university in a biological sciences department. run the numbers on that shit.
there was just one guy who I am pretty sure was an actual communist and tenured. he never identified as such, but had that twinkle in his eye while also seeming to be exhausted by institutional absurdity. massive fan of The Wire. he left at some point to go do something else, lol.
and then everybody clapped and sieg heiled
After, they locked arms and sang
Deutschland Uber Allesthe Pledge of Allegiance
That student’s name? Albert Einstein.
went on to get a six figure job managing a things that never happened factory
“mum I’m hungry”
“Well sweetie, have you tried
ing?”
That’s not wrong but doesn’t apply to who they think it does
So like a gay white rising sun flag?
Is that not true? I feel love I’ve heard that before, too.
Lmao what are you serious
Hm… You know I may just be thinking of a scene from World War Z where they bring back decimation tactics in the Russia army, and as a kid I assumed they did this during the USSR, not bringing back something from like Rome lol.
I read that book recently and I think it’s the worst book I’ve ever read holy guacamole I hated it
Yeah… I haven’t read it in so long. I’m actually not super surprised that it probably doesn’t hold up.
I went to school with a bunch of crackers who would’ve absolutely gone along with this. The US knows no stronger elitism than college Republicans.
at my university, the “business” majors (lol) all had to wear a blazer, oxford button down with tie, and khakis on one of the week days for some class or something. i never caught the details, but remembered in some class one of the other students asked one of the business boys why some of them dressed like that and he fessed up. something about being prepared for the “business world”. the rest of us just looked at each other like “that sux”.
i was a non-traditional, recovered dropout so i was like an old longhair weirdo (29-33) when i was there, but i went all the way in on social capital maxxing. i was no stranger to bureacratic paper shuffles, so i helped found two student organizations, was president of one, treated school like a full time job and did all the optional readings, constantly applied for scholarhips, grants, independent projects etc. won some stacks, took some crazy trips, did all the things. basically, i was an old crank and practically lived on campus like some kind rodney dangerfield situation.
one of my favorite things about being back in school was that i could dress as comfortable as i wanted for everything, because nobody gave a fuck. that was heaven after having logged too many hours in business casual. but college? shorts and flipflops to oral exam: boom, crushed. but i would see these clowns in their neckties and crack up, because what a miserable way to be on a hot day, speedwalking to your next class or trying to snag a lunch. everybody else is laying in grass, throwing a ball around, and just chilling and you gotta make sure you don’t get a mustard stain on your nice clothes. seriously, people have their whole lives to be dressed uncomfortably for some power tripping douche to feel in control, and these dumbasses are doing it in college while being charged $250/credit hour to learn a dozen accounting jargon words and how to calculate a loan amortization schedule in excel.
Thinking back to college, even with all the things I currently struggle with, I’m pretty sure I would kill it if I went back. I was no where near mature or ready enough for it. I’m at about the same age as you when you went back too. Maybe I should go back and be an old sweat. When I was there though we made light fun of the business majors cause of how easy their curriculum was compared to ours. Fortunately they didn’t have to dress up for class as far as I can tell.
oh, man I loved it as an old head. I studied something I was super into, lived in an absolute shithole walkable to campus. it wasn’t the best days of my life, but I remember it fondly despite being broke as fuck.
the demo for state schools is skewing hard to mostly lazy children of the rich, but there’s still clusters of scrappy strivers and cranks in there, getting weird.
And then everybody clapped
Tell me you’re a shitty untenured professor who’s on probation without telling me you’re a shitty untenured professor who’s on probation
We’re going to be spending all day on Rummell aren’t we
i can’t stop, the more you dig the more gold there is
like imagine holding this contradiction in your brain:
Rummel was a strong supporter of spreading liberal democracy, although he did not support invading another country solely to replace a dictatorship. Rummel posited that there is less foreign violence when states are more libertarian.
Rummel strongly supported the War on Terror and the Iraq War initiated by the Republican George W. Bush administration, arguing that “the media [was] biased against freeing Iraqi from tyranny.”
No shame this dude is fucking wild let’s do it
very serious chapter names in a very serious book by a very serious history professor

Death American by Bombing
you have selected: Deaths by American Bombing!
Did you know: in the 20th Century, “the United States probably murdered about 583,000 people”? In comparison, China murdered 76,702,000 people? Wow! Communism must be bad!
Author’s note: Initially it was 38 Million, but silly me I forgot that another 38 million also died during Mao’s famine!
Tito’s Slaughterhouse
I recall Tito being pretty solid as far as a leader and not having any controversies or (western fabricated/exaggerated) mass murders
Like he had basically the entire world leadership at his funeral and even the western leaders there had good things to say about him
Some people are whining about
I’d prefer he whine about it from the bottom
I think the main reason for this was his insistence on not being in the USSR’s direct orbit like the Warsaw pact countries were

This is just literal unironic version of the copypasta about liberal muslim homosexual ACLU lawyer professor and abortion doctor.
oh shit i forgot the best nugget here, which is that this is quoted by Rummel but the guy quoted is Gary Aldrich - a former FBI agent. You can’t get better than this.
