AKA I am writing a fucking essay on Deng Xiaoping and Xi Jinping in order to own my globpol professor

I am emailing it to him

Unlike Deng Xiaoping I do not consider myself mainly a pragmatist, i do consider myself a petty bitch however

to all of you who say it's not worth it: it is to me. he called me a fucking bernie bro. he owned me so hard. I will own him back. have fun reading 20 pages of email bitch half of which are just literal excerpts from the Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping and the Governance of China, if you ever unironically stan fukuyama in my presence again I will email you just the entirety of capital out of disgust. read theory fucker

      sure just get really really mad and type stream of consciousness, then check grammar. a skill i have mastered for polisci papers.

      the compilation of evidence is the hard part. Write it like you're lenin, lenin gets really mad and writes but also cleans it after and people love it

      also this is adhd hyperfocus i zoned out in class writing this lmao i just got so mad

        It'd be a bit harder to work up that emotion for history, for long gone events, or historiography, for reviewing other works on long gone events :thinkin-lenin:

        I also got the problem that I can't stand not having it be perfect as I write it, maybe I ought to dictate more, I'm fine with editing that

        But I think these are good tips, thanks :kim-salute:

          undemocratic collapse of the soviet union under mikhail gorbachev and subsequent neoliberalization

            Hell yeah, that I would like to do a paper on. Right now it's just a book report on the racial component of secession of the South, which is something I should be juiced up for, but I'm required to look through the book to find good quotes, so sadly I can't just type a bunch down :yes-honey-left:

              quick tip, take a bunch of pictures of good quotes and run an online ocr service on them. it's not perfect, it's sometimes actively bad, but it's much easier to copy

                It'll be a bit more slow since I don't have a wire that can connect to my phone with, I'll have to email them.

                That said, wow, this looks awesome, thanks :meow-floppy:

          I Hemingway it, write drunk, edit sober. I understand my own stream of consciousness and come back later and turn it into real sentences and move stuff around so it flows better. It takes a lot longer than actually doing the writing.
