It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

We need a total and complete shutdown of all Ivy League anthropology departments until we can figure out what the hell is going on.

Interesting that Viking battle-axes used to rape and pillage defenceless seaside villages are fetishised by some Scandanavians/Europeans/Americans today as "rad" and "totally awesome as fuck" -- that's truly sick.

And, it is probably part of the broader psychological denial of the gruesome history of bloody violence, on which modern Western capitalist hegemony is founded. a-little-trolling

My East Asian studies prof was the WASPiest mfer on the planet, but even though he was a lib he was very cool: fluent in Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean (like actually fluent, as in he published academic papers in all three languages), and really emphasized how China had strong laws to protect minority ethnic groups (e.g. exemptions from the one-child policy, explicit affirmative action, proportional representation, and language preservation efforts).

White Chinese studies mfers are either:

  1. wierd sinophiles who are big fans of china and the CPC (oddly enough alot of these are libs that are inexplicably pro-china)

  2. the most sinophobic and racist mfers to walk the earth

no middle ground

"When western academia sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing orientalism. They’re bringing imperialism. They’re colonisers. And some, I assume, are good people."

I'm trying to imagine a professor who's "approachable and easygoing" and yet frequently goes off on tangents about the devious chinese brainpan. How rabid of a racist do you need to be before Ivy League students start to dislike you on a personal level?

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 34 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

rabid racism is precisely what they look for to teach an asian studies course in an ivy

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 40 points 8 months ago

Radio free asia studies professor more like.

Surprised those are still up. I had a comment removed for the most bland statement saying a prof was racist. Was very funny that a year later his ass was kicked out (temporarily because fuck America) for making the dumbest comments possible during 2020.
