I mean, I knew it all along, and never really expected anything else, but it's one thing to know it, and another to be expected to act it out in the real world on a day to day basis, to take them seriously, to treat them as some paragons of wisdom and virtue. I just feel the flow of the void streaming from their mouths when they speak. How in the hell did you end up an authority over all of us when all you did was get a scholarship from your uncle and then regurgitate some talking points?

No, Professor Smith, what you just said is literal war propaganda, but if I question you, not only will you ignore it, there's also a non-zero chance you might fail me or otherwise make my life difficult.

    My anthropological theory professor is a chud, which was really surprising and disappointing to me because anthropology as a whole is a more left-leaning discipline, my textbook for that class even includes a section from Marx's The German Ideology.

    The professor has said in class that whenever he sees someone wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt he wants to punch them in the face so I just avoid saying anything in class even though we are graded on class participation because I don't want him to realize that I'm a communist.

    I really wish I could have a professor that would just teach the material objectively without injecting their dogshit political opinions into every lecture but the anthropology department at my school is really small so I have no other choice. I just try to learn what I can from the lectures and readings and just disregard the professor's stupid political asides.

      Honestly not surprised at cultural anthropology having some chud professors. Some of them have white savior complexes because it originated as a white savior discipline.

      edit: and tons of anthroplogists are complicit in destroying local ecosystems with their knowledge of benefits of plants for certain medicines, which in turn destroys indigenous communities.
