This general principle is why you should never compromise even 1%
their self-persecution will always widen/shrink to whatever the stream of reality actually is. Make the stream as big as fucking possible, because there's no room for their glass of ideology to be more full than full
When dealing with chuds, never back down and always double down.
In my time in academia, I've found that the people who teach gender studies are nearly universally based, and only become more based the further up into academia you go (which is usually not the case imo), but the intro through like junior year students are all Tumblr/Twitter liberal feminists, who make the classes nearly unbearable to sit through to people with any other social sciences background, let alone conservative.
I mean one of the first things that my intro teacher tried to beat into our heads was that gender is a method of culturally expected expression and not a monolithic culture, and yet I'm pretty sure 80% of the class didn't get it as much of the time they just used the class to complain about whatever annoying thing their boyfriend did and then assign it to 'masculinity' (which was self defeating because if you say that whatever annoying thing is masculine then you only encourage that behavior from guys who want to be perceived as masculine).
But yeah, the idea that gender studies is taking over schools as opposed to business school mentality (you know the majors that tend to run the colleges finances) is hilarious.
There were two types of chuds I knew in college. There were the coherent ones who had an ideological stance and knew who Milton Friedman was. They were all economics, business, or pre-law. Nerds.
The other ones were the more typical kind obsessed with culture war and saying slurs. They outnumbered the previous group like 10 to 1 and were nearly all doing some type of engineering. Not nerds. Would go hunting on the weekend and drive around big trucks.
Both groups though were obsessed with what they called postmodernism taking over schools. But, every time I tried to get one to explain what postmodernism is they'd just describe standard antisemitic conspiracies but without saying Jews.
No I'm just from the south. Is it weird to see conservatives in college?
Engineering programs around the US are gender imbalanced (so many cis dudes), right-leaning, and full of reactionary opinions, but on the coasts they're more commonly dominated by "libertarian" types that claim to be okay with the gay but then still vote Republican "because of taxes".
that claim to be okay with the gay
As long as the gay "isn't rammed down their throats" as :reddit-logo: power users would put it. :susgay:
:bunny-cop: This is libel. The VolCel Police welcomes recruits across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. Our Pride parade float was amazing this year! Non-offending persons of all kinds serve and protect you. So you take that back!
There were only 3 open conservatives that I knew of at my university, but I also went to the most progressive arts school in America so, :shrug-outta-hecks:
i should point out that in the area I grew up the furthest left opinion you'll encounter is "we shouldn't do segregation again"
“we shouldn’t do segregation again”
Because segregation is bad or because they want to murder all the minorities?
because everything's so backwards where I'm from that doing segregation again is an open conversation
The liberals at my college were more like the Presbyterian kind and would also believe in stuff like abstinence from alcohol and sex. The only leftists I met were exactly 4 Trotskyites from the ISO who just handed out newspapers. They seemed nice but didn't really do much. Talked with them a few times.
The overwhelming majority of my college classmates were either white reactionaries or southeast Asians studying on a student visa. Engineering was by far the most popular major. The white reactionaries were the southern kind who wanted a theocracy. The foreign students didn't seem to give a shit about America at all, they just wanted to get a degree at an American university and leave.
i should say my college was a glorified community college that was originally a trade school for oil derrick workers. It only existed because Esso (who'd become Exxon later) gave a bunch of money to the city to train petroleum workers
The foreign students didn’t seem to give a shit about America at all, they just wanted to get a degree at an American university and leave.
So based.
depends on the college, a&m or Baylor probably sucks ass but i wouldn't expect a ton of outspoken conservatives at smaller colleges unless they're only white people
I went to a small but "prestigious" university and there were only a few conservatives I knew or knew of and most people hated them
Though maybe it's just my friends who hated them and my friends were good
This conversation could have happened anywhere from Rutgers to U.Michigan to Texas A&M.
College Freshmen come out of high school absolutely dripping with reactionary ideology. And depending on who you hang out with, you'll either shake some of that filth off or saturate yourself with it even more thoroughly.
One reality that does kinda creep in and feed the "College Marxists!" narrative is kids coming back from college exposed to views outside the suburban reactionary hot house and challenging their parents on the contradictions.
Anytime I've looked at a gender studies department/research group the ppl in seem, indeed, extremely cool and good.
That shit is actually pretty ya know... academic. Maybe chuds think they already know the gist because they watched a blue haired woman ranting from libs of tiktok. Blackstone, coverture, maybe they have degrees in it because uh there's a lot to learn.
I find them interesting, at my college me and like 9 other trans people were asked to do a Q&A and while there were some really weird questions it was generally positive. Basically sat in front of a class as questions were asked and they took notes on our transitions lol. We got free food out of it so, we were down to clown
Chuds are angry that such places exist, or even simply have existed. Le STEM, specifically TE for more TrEats, or bust. :grillman: :solidarity: :so-true:
It's definitely important that you mentioned that the STEM CHUDs are mostly concentrated at the TE part. I majored in biology and when you hit the upper levels, I deadass cannot think of a single CHUD that graduated with me. I had many CS and engineering friends just by proximity and at least the CHUDs there were a bit more rare than the ones in the business and economics departments.
I majored in a legitimate science and the mainstream does not respect my field whatsoever, they claim to be omniscient about biology and care so deeply about it solely to claim sex = gender and that intersex conditions are a myth. Other than that, people will look you dead in the eye and claim that an untrained :grillman:'s opinion is just as, if not more valuable on your field than the one you spent years studying...unless it's in business or economics, then what do those rubes know about income inequality actually being a bad thing?
I've seen :reddit-logo: bazinga brains dunk on "soft" sciences, even "hard" sciences that are too theoretical to have a clear treat flow prospect, and mathematics as well.
TE stans are the worst.
If the women and gender studies department is poisoning the minds of the children, why is Judith Butler so fucking hard to read, HMMM?
:porky-scared-flipped: Gender Studies Major
:porky-happy: Marketing Major
:same-picture:
Most gender studies majors double major in something more marketable, so this is pretty apt.
I mean, gender studies is itself marketable, when you focus your research on the relative appeal of particular media and impact of cultural mores on sales and advertisements.
Lawyers use gender studies disciplines to modulate their pitch to juries (or simply to weed people out during vore dire). Recruiters use the field to find hire-able candidates and sway them into changing jobs. Engineers use it to design domestic and industrial work spaces (the modern kitchen is famously a product of industrial engineering from the 40s/50s era, specifically designed to accommodate women). Political operatives use it to enhance the appeal of partisan messaging and candidate appeal.
Chuds love to play up any kind of soft science as fruitless naval gazing. But its all just an exercise in expressed ignorance.
Chuds are fundamentally stupid cattle, who get herded by the owner class and hate whatever they are told to hate. The biggest hurdle is the fact that since they are so fucking stupid and just mindlessly repeat whatever they have heard, they end up becoming excellent propagandists.
