citationless behavior

I love it when things are both metaphors and extremely literal. Like on one hand you have the bit in Bluest Eye where Pecola chugs milk out of a Shirley Temple mug and it makes her sick. Like she's literally and figuratively trying to consume and internalize whiteness.

and on the other hand you have half of 80s sci Fi novels like "What if the tanks kept fighting even after the war was over. Its a metaphor for Vietnam but also wouldn't that be fucked up."

Yeah i have a dark past (being 13). Just an absolutely horrible backstory (being 13). It would keep you up at night if i told you about it (i was 13 one time)

Facts aren't feelings

Shit man, this wizard war is fucked. I just saw a guy clap his hands together and say "the ten hells" or some similar shit, and every one around him turned inside out, had their tibia explode and then disappeared. The camera didn't even go onto him, that's how common shit like this is. My ass is casting frostbite and level 2 poison. I think I just heard "power word:scrunch" two groups over. I gotta get the fuck outta here.

actual criticisms of academia:

cost of education acting as class barrier

exploitation of graduate workers

colonialist past and present

ties to military industrial complex

danger of power structure entrenching and justifying orthodox views on social issues

criticisms of academia that get made:

those damn ivory tower academics are wasting money learning about things
