I think this sort of thing is a result of liberals trying to move farther left, but falling off a cliff because they have no understanding of class.
edit: I thought there was a whole thread, but to see the full context you have to go to the student's account and see the ensuing drama. This singular tweet is pretty fine on its own.
What the right thinks indeed doesn't matter, but the right's caricature of the left isn't necessarily a good look either (though sometimes it is).
Trying to get your professor fired for not including the materials you want?? You didn't take the course, you didn't read the materials, you don't know what the professor is trying to teach you. Who the fuck are you to heckle your way into re-writing the syllabus? This is shooting someone who might be a dedicated ally before you even met them.
You can do your project/paper/presentation on the thing you think your professor is missing. Show the class and the professor why you're right. OR maybe the professor is a chud or hopelessly stuck in the past - take the course, assemble the documents, complain afterwards. Otherwise you look like an asshole and nobody is going to listen to you.
I mean this isn't "the left", it's an 18, 19-year-old kid who's angry (and always for good reason) and the professor responded like a dick. Of course the student is going about it in a wrong way. We should be supporting these kids though and helping them hone their methods and their anger to direct at good sources. But this entire fucking thing is like a Ben Shapiro GOTCHA article, it's a nothing burger.
