kissinger famously said (im paraphrasing) the reason academic fights are so vicious is because the stakes are so low and yeah the academic casualty count is low, but it’s still a hellhole if your livelihood depends on it. and who’s afraid of virginia woolf? but you’re right— the problem is now we have a lunatic in charge of the asylum who is applying low-stakes tactics to such high-stakes situations as the future of liberal democracies or global thermonuclear war. it’s a fucking disgrace. the other stuff you wrote and i’m not quoting is embarrassing and goes against the point you’re trying to make, but i understand the rage and what it does to a brain. you likely need to sleep it off. what ilducio said wasn’t against you since you’re not a consie (conservative, i’m guessing) so... yeah. don’t engage a crazy or you might become one. |

Yes. This. Academia is its own kind of hell, no question. If you don’t feel that way, I daresay you’re either a minion of Satan or you haven’t experienced academia. |

certainly not. was criticizing those who demand free speech zones to air their neo Nazi beliefs. Because, if they had their ways, there certainly would be no free speech |

Well... I can agree with the first sentence. The second? I doubt 98% of all people MATTER — sounds like way too big of a percentage to me. The real point, though, is this: where in today's main public "debate" is this "far left wing"? Obviously it's not CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times or The Washington Post. It's not even Bill Maher. Shit, it's not even Noam Chomsky (not that he's anywhere to be seen on media outlets like the ones I just mentioned). So, for purposes of discussing the Trumpocalyptic context in which we live, it's rather irrelevant... Unless, of course, one's willing to be sucked into the pathological vortexes of horseshit that are Faux News AND Schunk's bunk.

Train Carrying Republican Lawmakers to Retreat Crashes Into Garbage Truck
"This is proving to be extraordinarily hard work", a first responder said. "I hadn't noticed before, but garbage looks remarkably like Republican lawmakers. It's pretty difficult to tell a real live turd from one of these fuckers".

I was worried I went too far, but anyone who matters seems to get I was demonstrating I'm not PC or mindlessly virtue signaling.
Still, apologies to any mentally handicapped homosexuals I may have upset. Please know that should push come to shove, I got your back. |

Fine. But can we agree there are bigger fish to fry?
I'll make a deal: let's first work together to purge our country of right-wing killers, and then I'll do what I can to solve the problem of snowflake students and wussy administrators. |
