    maybe it’s because i studied engineering at a public state university but i have no idea about what “socialist indoctrination” right wingers are always saying there is, if anything i saw the opposite

      If you think about how right-wingers’ generally tend to call anything left of themselves socialism, then it makes more sense that they think university & media “socialist indoctrination” is a thing.

    • totally. the farther i went up within the academy, the more in the tank the institution was for praising large capital formations as a necessary partner (re: donor) in directing research and education priorities.

      the “bleeding heart libs” may have been anti-chud, but they were also anti-union, paternalistic, and exploitative as fuck towards staff.

      A thing you will see in med school is someone presenting a graph showing you black on fucking white that private hospitals are a plague which can be justified on neither a deontological nor utilitarian ground and telling you it’s important to have public private partnerships and we should probably consider some kind of private voucher system.

      Combination of college being the first time many people start to seriously think about politics and that many social science disciplines refer to and/or were founded by Marx.

        Real. I took a geography course out of curiousity, and there’s even Marxian analysis in that too! Crazy. I think that is why they think universities turn you into a communist.

        It couldn’t be further from the truth though, most are libs.
