I had a tenured agroecology professor, a Napa Valley wine mom, who started each lecture with a land acknowledgment and then talked about her extensive work contracting with cattle ranchers to greenwash their operations. The natives in this area were killed for cattle land.

At this point a land acknowledgement without doing anything is just gloating over the genocide your ancestors committed

I get it, but the amount of college-bashing posts is starting to feel more like general anti-intellectualism rather than well-intentioned critique. There are based teachers who've been jailed, tortured, murdered and disappeared for protesting fascism. There are also teachers like my old history instructor, a coward who said that the transatlantic slave trade wasn't a crime against humanity because "it was legal at the time."

In the west, there's a lot of the latter and almost none of the former. I'm not anti-intellectual, but western academia often only opposes the status quo when it can be sure to do it in a useless way. The most widespread views are liberal because they have the ideological and material support of the ruling class. The problem isn't that it's worse than the rest of western society, the problem is that it's part of the rest of western society.

The answer is simple: the personal qualities of present-day professors are such that we may find among them even exceptionally stupid people like Tugan. But the social status of professors in bourgeois society is such that only those are allowed to hold such posts who sell science to serve the interests of capital, and agree to utter the most fatuous nonsense, the most unscrupulous drivel and twaddle against the socialists. The bourgeoisie will forgive the professors all this as long as they go on “abolishing” socialism.

Oh, c'mon, this is unfair. The conference would definitely be called Post-Gaza conflict Arab literature, none of the organizers would have the courage to call it a genocide.

100 years from now there will be debates if it was "genocide" or just "ordinary war" and if "both sides bad"

...i hate that this isnt even joke.

I have some very good news about the likelihood of enough society remaining in a hundred years for any non-sustenance level debates to take place!

...I also have some very bad news for anyone that was hoping to still be alive in 50 years
