I'll go full Slow Dug for a moment and say that you really have to be utterly uniformed and frankly just lazy to not be able to get reasonable access to healthcare in this country.

But that's a LickNeckyFlection from the main theme of this thread.

So, are you thinking Rooseveltian style internment camps, Lick?

When you have a political movement that's advocating (black) lists, oppressing free speech and being triggered by red hats, then who knows what kind of crazy is coming next.

very normal comments on that article dax posted.

gems mini-thread:

Who knew Econ departments were crawling with Marxists?

Quote
Likewise, I dumped a PhD program in Economics, after the professor teaching the mandatory Mathematics class turned his lectures—on mathematics!—into Marxist rants.

I can see how an addled loon might be duped into Hegelian doublethink, when logic contradicts his woefully misguided hypotheses, but Marxism???

Quote
I'm ABD (all but dissertation) in Econometrics because my adviser was a Marxist nutcase from the London School of Economics. I couldn't fight the communists forever not when they held all the cards.

Quote
There was some of it in the mid 70s already. Only one lib who would really hit you on grades for it openly (econ), but one or two others seemed sneakier.
On the other hand, I did have one very left prof from Sweden, who gave us a single essay question for the final exam. When I went to find out my grade, he said "I had to give you an A, because you were the only one who understood the question". He gave an 'A' to many others too though, I found out. I have always wondered on what basis.

Quote
I made sure I presented point-counterpoint to show the best arguments, and that worked with some but not others. The negative example that most frosts me was with an econ prof. I always got every objective question right, but he always gave my (point-heavy) essays a zero even though I explained what he maintained before showing a weakness in it or an alternative.
In his class I went into the final in such bad shape, that only if I got precisely 100%, could I have salvaged a 'D'.
I didn't study, and didn't know what I was going to do, but when I got the paper, I wrote at the top in big letters "I don't believe anything I say here," Then used the essay to parrot every nuance of his doctrine.
I actually got one objective question wrong on that exam, the first time I ever had, but he gave me a 'C' for the course, which was mathematically impossible.
The only thing I can believe from this, is that he saw that I had finally undertaken the path toward obedience. That is disgusting.
And by the way, I didn't in all classes deserve an A, I wasn't fixated on grades, which I know sounds incomprehensible. I am sure it would have then too if anyone had asked. I just went there to learn.

Sounds like it is pretty hard being a rich white person in South Africa.

Quote
If I had a penny for every time I've had to catch myself before I revealed my views (classical liberal)... If you think things are bad in America, try being a non black-supremacist-communist in South Africa. They'll quite literally crucify you and your family. I wrote a paper in one of my one-semester electives (socio-anthropology) in my first year in which I was not as enthusiastic about the conclusion (which aligned perfectly with what I knew the lecturer wanted) as the lecturer wanted, and I was slammed with a 60%, it was the only paper I wrote that year that got less than 80%, and most got 90+. She even rapped me for using 'he' in my generic person example instead of 'she'.

I learned there that the best thing for you was to just swallow your pride, and your core principles, and write the babble tripe your lecturer wants and get your certificate. I hope to eventually return to academia (I'm working to save up money for my masters right now) and I promised myself if I would never do something like that to any of my students.

It's perfectly fine for a professor to have positions on these kinds of matters, but their job is to teach their students to think for themselves, not to indoctrinate them to hold the professor's views, regardless of what they might be. They exist to teach students how to think, not what to think.

Finally some practical advice for the conservative on campus:

Practice good "grey-man" op-sec. Blend in.

You laugh, but imagine if you would've had a Marxist econ professor at K-State.....you'd be back home trying to explain it to Tod.

eff this guy
I watched the video about Chinatown and even though it didn't seem quite as racist as the headlines made it seem it was definitely pretty racist but it was also really really unfunny and those guys looked like just the worst if the worst.

Like Chappelle's bit on not being able to say the f word on his show was some pretty dumb logic but at least it was presented in a funny way.

I think the fact that this kind of crap doesn't bother me at all is a sign of my privilege. Or not. I don't know/care.

don't mind race jokes if it's funny and doesn't put people down, should get at least a chuckle from the people being made fun of. but yea he's just throwing around the c-word to be edgy. really lazy. i think comedians who complain about the whole free speech issue should try and be funnier instead.

he is obviously slowly going insane, and it's wonderful.

have we discussed that maybe he was just high on drugs the whole time?

That's terrible strategy.  The Wackycats are watching every week to find things to be offended by.
