The anti-China nerds in my history class are going to be the end of me. The semester is wrapping up so we’re talking about more contemporary issues, and somebody fucking said China’s treatment to Taiwan is worse than America’s to Cuba 😭😭😭 and somebody else said America’s policy in Latin America during the Cold War is equivalent to China’s in Latin America currently. Like I’m in the same class learning the same stuff as you what could possibly even make you think that?? Even my professor looked confused, you can argue all day long about the nature of the BRI and whether it’s colonialist or equal trade etc etc but you can’t deny it’s strictly economic, and doesn’t even touch funding death square to commit human rights abuses.

I’m sorry I’m just now seeing your response but thank you so much!!!

Can I ask what industry you used to be in/what you’re getting a phd in now without doxxing yourself? I only ask because I’m interested in pursuing environmental engineering

It used to be annoying but unironically it’s kind of endearing now

Just saw someone compare the GPCR to DOGE……….

A really funny bit would be a Lassallean upholding USSR and China

Some great quotes from my history professor today

• “America isn’t fully capitalist and has socialism, it’s just paid for by tax payer money. You don’t have to shop around for a fire fighter! Since America has some socialism it’s Cold War foreign policy was hypocritical.”

• “The USSR and China never moved past what Marx called ‘state socialism’”

• “This is because Marx was utopian and didn’t account for human nature, humans will always act in their own self interest.”

The whole liberal “it sounds good on paper but not in practice” expression is so funny because they don’t even know what’s on the paper.

Not that it makes it any better but he recently stated that he’s actually autistic and not bipolar

Always is an overstatement, College Dropout & Late Registration were special. Saying George Bush doesn’t care about black people on live TV is the coolest thing a celebrity has done. Such a shame how he’s turned out though

Imagining an alternate universe with a left wing Kanye generating controversy by tweeting “I LOVE MAO”

Thank you so much

Is there like a r/blackwolffeed but for true anon

Wait what

This guy’s getting dunked on for whining about the new Assassin’s Creed game (wawawa a black man going around killing Japanese people) and someone said it’s revenge for Resident Evil 5 LMAOO

The people in Dune were about this one

Please, if I have to read/hear something about Marx being eurocentric in this class one more time I’m gonna lose it

Can’t believe I’ve never heard of the harrowing until now

Given up? We’re ready to vote right f***ing now if we could

Saw on Twitter so I’m not sure how trustworthy this is or if the statistics are misleading but apparently Biden had 12,000 border apprehensions in the last 2 days in office and Trump only had 766 in his first two days

One of my professors today talking about trying to fit expertise into a democratic society (I’m paraphrasing), “expertise is needed as there is knowledge not everyone possesses but if you go too far the other way and give all the power to experts to make decisions and abandon democracy, like the Soviet Union, it results in failure”
