      Not to mention...if you feel you have to preface your argument with "aCtUaLlY, i HaVe A dEgReE", you already know that your argument will be met with scorn and are trying to get ahead of it by inserting your 'credentials'

      Here's my brilliant solution to "fascism:" genocide/risking worldwide annihilation, colonialism, and re-education! Totally different, and totally something you can trust the U.S. with!

    Before you instantly dismiss my view because of the title, let me start out by saying that I have a political science degree from the University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign) and a JD from Loyola University Chicago School of Law

    "I graduated from one of Canada's Top Business Universities with really good grades"

    So you have to disprove that China is the largest and most powerful fascist state but you can't talk about the actual most powerful fascist state being "bad"? Very cool.

    Really hate those types who flaunt their degrees to imply that they're inherently more intelligent than you.

    I have these propaganda degrees, so I'm not completely talking out of my ass, I'm also partially talking out of someone else's ass.

    If you read 2 books by Lenin [or your preferred anarchist thinker] you know 90% more than most poli Sci grads I've seen.

    Congrats on our honorary degrees, comrades!

    If I had interpreted my college polisci courses uncritically I think I might've had a worse understanding of politics than if I'd taken none at all

    Except that one collective action class where I got to write about the 1954 coup in Guatemala, that shit rocked and I really grew as a person

        history classes in general have a higher rate of hits for me personally

      I feel like all of the professors who actually understand political science teach history instead. All of my history professors were great - especially the one who taught Soviet history.
