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
Seems terminally poster-brained, but hey if you keep just hinged enough that there aren't academic or career consequences for nothing. :shrug-outta-hecks:
And hey, many great left theorists were terminal posters so who knows
In every pol class there's one student who does this. Just from personal experience I've seen a guy who would always bring every topic back to atheism, one who would bring every topic back to their personal ethnicity, and one who would ask questions about every single thing. The prof would have seen this many times by now, so its unlikely that anything bad happens, especially for a first year student.
Truuuue. I never took any poli sci shit but that's probably the department with the highest concentrations of students who are like that, huh?
Philosophy has a lot of open ended discussions, but I guess being like that is pretty much invited.
Imo any of the women's studies courses are much worse. I sat in on my friend's women's studies course, I forget if the whole thing was athletics focused or just that one lecture but there were at least three dudes who constantly had to get their opinions in and play devil's advocate. It wasn't even the first lecture, which probs means they'd been doing it for a while, which seems SO exhausting. Not just for the profs, but for those dudes too. Like how do you not tired of constantly doing that, especially since the tenured prof teaching the course has a well crafted response to everything you say ready to go, lmao.
Profs tend not to hold grudges about stuff like this over undergrads. If a grad student or a colleague did it, there might be career consequences, but with undergrads it mostly blends into the background noise. Unless you want a letter of rec from this person it probably won't matter. They likely also aren't doing the grading, and even if they are I doubt it would influence them much.
