Every professor from these elite universities getting carted away in handcuffs and screaming for the camera feels more alive now than they’ve ever felt, animated by the thrill of doing something besides lecturing listless students about Foucault or decolonial theory.
@mwellshalophile The thrill of the mob and condemnbation. The cause itself is secondary to most of these clowns.
@mwellshalophile Still as useless as ever though.
@mwellshalophile In other words they view politics as an extension of their lifestyle aesthetics: Oscar Wilde politics. But politics is supposed to be about OTHER people... This is the masturbatory politics of the 3 year old tantrum-thrower.
@mwellshalophile One of my favorite memes comes to mind.
@mwellshalophile It’s weird because they are very last in their profession to have good jobs. Shut up and cash your check. You’re not a adjunct at a community college with a “PhD” you’re in massive debt for, doing it for “the cause”
@mwellshalophile yup. They would rather get attention for being bad than to get no attention at all. (credit to Dr. Joy Brown)
@mwellshalophile “thrill of doing something” You left out appearing. “The thrill of appearing to do something.”
