Academia is full of tards now because the barrier to entry has dropped through the floor. You can get an English degree writing about fanfiction, you can get a Classics degree having never even tried to learn Greek or Latin. Make no mistake- academics were always autistic, but they at least had to be knowledgable autistics. These days you can write your entire thesis about how Chaucer's Wife of Bath made you decide you were an MTF lesbian and graduate based off of that. I knew two seperate transes in my masters who were writing spurious papers about tranny shit, and a third who was an enby fujo writing about how Dionysus was totes gay guise. There's no pushback on these 'muh personal experience' projects becausse the school wants money and doesn't want to get in trouble for invalidating students' experiences or w/e.I majored in English Literature for my undergrad, and these types are a fucking dime a dozen now. Nearly everyone who registers in English Literature as a major is some flavour of gender special and believes they're the next big Literary genius and will be rich off of writing. Way too fucking many of them minor in "creative writing" (which is a huge fucking waste of money) or gender studies. Some do both! Tl;dr English Lit is fucking full of narcissistic troons and people who were told by their mommies or daddies one too many times that they're special.
I feel like we’re in a place where academia is almost full Marxist and they hire people based on their loyalty to ideology rather than talent. Talent actually goes against that goal because it’s “whiteness” plus talented people won’t stick around. You need to indoctrinate the next generation to become racemixers and socialists.Academia is full of tards now because the barrier to entry has dropped through the floor.

Agreed with that. I'm admittedly an academictard with an obsession for learning, and some of the people I met through my degrees genuinely surprised me. They treat it like highschool. If you don't wanna be there, don't fucking go. You're an adult, you can do more than buy starbucks with your student loans.Academia is full of tards now because the barrier to entry has dropped through the floor.

It's a shame because some people are genuinely very smart and engaged and are capable of doing good work, however they're distracted by their obsessions. Ego is the enemy of progress.Agreed with that. I'm admittedly an academictard with an obsession for learning, and some of the people I met through my degrees genuinely surprised me.

I think it’s a “Peter pan” syndrome thing: they think if they never leave school they’ll never need to grow up. It also explains why they don’t take it seriously. Our society has removed any kind of shaming and as long as people can survive on loans or gibs from the government we’ll only see more degeneracy. At this point with the middle class crumbling you’re either going for gibs or rich.It's a shame because some people are genuinely very smart and engaged and are capable of doing good work, however they're distracted by their obsessions.

As an academic, I can say that these are both correct. There are some people who have real talent and drive and do well, there are some who don't want to be there and cruise by with the absolute minimum, and there are some who think they're going to be doctors or engineers and get crushed the moment they have to take their first weeder class. They soon go running to the various 'studies' programs along with the progtards who are paying for four years of extended adolescence and Marxist/queer indoctrination.I think it’s a “Peter pan” syndrome thing: they think if they never leave school they’ll never need to grow up.

This is absolutely true and I've seen it in real time. People who are genuinely smart but are allergic to criticism and feedback and can't handle the atmosphere of 'real' academia so embrace the studies angle where it's more about the person writing the paper than it is about the topic. 'It's my point of view, that makes it valid'. Weirdly these people also tend to have absolutely insane internal standards for themselves, like in the void of criticism they've become their own worst critic and so they end up burning out or giving up.there are some who think they're going to be doctors or engineers and get crushed the moment they have to take their first weeder class.

Honestly, I still have nightmares about my organic chemistry class and I am around 40.Whiffing out of basic Latin on an MA programme should be a shameful wakeup call but my colleague in a gender studies path didn't seem to give a shit because 'It's too stressful' and 'expecting me to know latin is gatekeeping' or whatever.

Even in high school, 30 years ago, teachers commented that students who took science subjects wrote better than those who took Literature and History, because we presented ideas logically and wrote with a coherent flow.Every so often I read an English Major's writing and feel better about my own, which is not usually a good sign.
>anti gun libtardWe missed some classic troon tweets. I especially love the first one because this retard has no idea they’ll never be able to have sex now that their dick is gone. They want to coom but that axwound won’t allow them to orgasm. I love how the glasses make him look even more autistic.

He's getting really good advice here. Social skills can be hard to learn if you don't pick them up as a kid, but as an adult it's rare to find other adults who will give you the feedback you need to learn any skills you missed out on.He's a piece of work:
