I receive updates from the University of Austin substack only for the important-high-level-ideas

I'm just googling it now and, talking about ideas, boy! Plato sure had some interesting ideas about slavery. The amount of marble bust avis in this room must be off the charts.

This can't be anywhere close to the largest circlejerk of all time, but it has to be, at least, some critical nexus of circlejerkery or like, one of the more notable reddit-logo containment breaches.

    I didn't know Prof. Refaat Alareer before his death, and don't want to co-opt the tragedy of the loss of him or his family for some stupid American scam university bullshit. But reading about his life really hammers in the dichotomy between a person like who Prof. Alareer was and an inveterate grifter like Bari Weiss and the tragic and pathetic irony our world is capable of. A person who dedicated their life to teaching English to people in their home so young persons can share their stories of love and hardship living in the open air concentration camp of Gaza with the whole world has left us, while the person who instigated their death after months of training a twitter mob on Prof. Alareer and their family until some yucko in a Tel Aviv bunker fired a missile at Prof. Alareer to defend the honor of the Zionist Twitter Helen of Troy who gets to live and speak to a roomful of anti-cracker-aktion nerds about how fighting wokeness is an ancient greek value and by attending the University of Austin you're basically a hoplite in the ideas phalanx against western degeneration.

    If I get killed by Israeli bombs or my family is harmed, I blame Bari Weiss @bariweiss and her likes

    I blame Bari Weiss too and hope for justice in the future.
