I mean, look at that jackass Byue. Joins the conversation butthole first straight out of Canada with his "anthropology" degree. Completely oblivious to social cues and his audience. Intellectually, completely outmatched: thinks he can "win" a conflict with "argumentation" while just parroting shit. That's the product of a college education nowadays. Certified stupid; it even says it right here on this paper they gave me.

Feign writing from the ideological perspective that your professor wants you to be indoctrinated into.

And that's it. That's why all social sciences are a fucking joke. I got the sociological department's student of the year accolades in my sophomore year, and I don't believe it's a science. Pretty telling on how much of an anti-intellectual circle jerk it is. See: the Social affair

In the past, I've made a point to deliberately present an opposing view that respectfully acknowledges the professor's viewpoint. This gets you critical thinking skills bonus points, which is what college SHOULD be about entirely. My vegan, yoga-teaching English professor loved my critical take on Skinny Bitch (anti-dairy, vegan author) and read it to the class. In my conflict mediation class, I completely bashed the book Getting to Yes, the seminal text for the field of mediation. Teacher loved it.

I got the same (bad) advice from my mom and grandmother. I don't parrot ideas for the sake of manipulation, even if it costs me. I'm perfectly good at manipulation in other ways. Too many fucking yes men. Stand out is my advice.

Do that as a straight while male not playing dress-up and the red pen of "fallacy" comes out. I seen't it firsthand. If you shroud yourself in "victimhood" you can go another way with it, as long as you don't outright oppose the indoctrination efforts.

Cecily 02-28-2021 09:24 PM

Yes. I think you're expressing your own perfectly valid feelings of victimhood, as a demographic who feels targeted these days.

Do you think this thread can function without Baler yelling at everyone who messes up the format?

Gwaihir 02-28-2021 09:46 PM

Yeah, it could, as evidenced in your olive branch, but I'm not decrying victimhood, I'm merely identifying how the current system works, so as to best identify how to ensure ones actions are best positioned to exploit "what is", don't really care to get involved with discussion on how it "should be".

Should I invest in drip irrigation hosing immediately, or only after allowing my crops to sprout to the juvenile stage after correcting spacing issues that may pop up?

Gwaihir 02-28-2021 10:19 PM

Mind you, I plant everything from seed. Monticello organic ftw.

These browns, queers, and other godless muslims can't know the struggles you've faced as a white hetero male.

The great awakening is coming! WWG1WGA.
