EDIT: I don't mean impostor syndrome isn't real, just that PMCs abuse it to excuse their position.

    Most people are like this, most people are liberals and the labour of most people primarily benefits corporations, I just don't understand why you criticize academia so heavily as if it's unique in some way. But I think we are not going to be able to understand each other, so let's just stop and agree to disagree.

      maybe I wasn't quick enough with my ninja edit:

      and I wasn’t originally thinking of academics, just PMCs in general (who must ofc pass through the academy)

      You brought up academia so I decided to explore it, but I think we should agree about the most important part of the PMC imo, middle managers, corporate lawyers, advertisers, etc. Those were the people I had in mind with the meme.
