@politicalmath Nah I’m thinking it went well for everybody but you, old man. Keep yelling at that cloud tho, I bet if you keep it up people will really take you seriously.
It's been obvious for decades that mandates to diversify elites along racial and gender lines is not a path to justice. It's also intellectually incoherent, and will continue to be shown as such for as long as liberal elites push it.
@EsotericCD Was it like Clash of the Titans? I don’t care who’s in it if it’s weird and trippy. If it’s regular middle of the road Nolan shit who gives a fuck who’s in it?
A friend’s theory of the social justice turn is that it’s a justification for doing and knowing less: e.g. if the canon is all dead racists you’re only responsible for the last 20 years of literature etc. Still, “Social justice is when you don’t do any work” is a bit on the nose!

Good God. Rouse genuinely thinks Fighting the Power is the essence of serious thinking, has never been questioned about it even this far into her career, and is incapable of even understanding what Lee's questions are getting at. She's not deflecting. She really has no idea how ridiculous she sounds.
I became an academic out of being curious about things. Gradually realizing since the 1990s that this kind of person is ordinary in the humanities and social sciences, is routinely given awards and high administrative positions, and is beyond the reach of rational discussion has been one of the most disappointing experiences of my life.
@FOS Once again, Vinny The Squid never once conned a star athlete into making a Cameo expressing that VTS was super sorry he bled you for $1.5 mil and by the way would you like to be more right now?
yes, correct.
right now, the two sides are as follows:
1) the right wing is in favor of enforcing immigration law even if that sometimes makes people sad.
2) the left wing would rather not enforce any laws, at all, even for child rape, if that might result in deportation of anyone, ever.
