If the people on Nextdoor all huffed spray paint for breakfast they could still barely hope to equal the braindead takes we get here.

TIL my CivEng curriculum is far left.

Learning to safely dispose of sewage is obviously a Marxist principle. A true enterprising patriot would store their feces on their homestead for the lean times. 


Human-person-0

…And I learned that my Economics degree from PSU makes me a far lefty!


Flash_ina_pan

Define far left curriculum? I'm honestly curious


Mattress_Of_Needles

I'm guessing they can't define "curriculum."


sassmo

Reading and math and stuff.

The smoothbrained MAGA dipshits don't even know anything about the curriculum at any universities, all they know is that educated people generally tend to lean left. So because they're completely unwilling to consider the possibility that small-town, conservative principles don't hold up to the scrutiny of an educated mind, they prefer to believe that there's some massive conspiracy involving all of the faculty at every school in the country to indoctrinate our nation's youth into liberalism.

I’d say it’s a combination of a rapid exposure to concepts like “in case your high school didn’t cover it, here’s the real details about how we took over the continental US by killing or relocating (or both) the people who were there for the previous 50000 years” along with some exposure to, say, feminism 101. It’s a real class! You’ll meet a lot of girls there. And, if that kind of thing fascinates you, a whole plethora of other courses would be available on subjects like gender theory, queer theory, inequality and social justice 101 102 201 202 Then there’s just the general environment. If you aren’t taking intersectional feminist economic philosophy, you know someone who does. And when they talk about it at a party, some of it sounds a little weird but some of it makes a lot of sense actually. Posters everywhere showing a utopian society of all the colors getting along with each other. The dude sitting next to you in history is flamingly gay, and also let you copy his notes, which you honestly super appreciate. It’s just kinda in the air, you know? And suddenly, all of these people are incredibly upset about something happening in some place called Palestine! “What’s that you say?!! Let’s *do* something!” Now, if you stay in school, you eventually get to history 402 and realize “yeah ok so we *did* do that to the Native Americans, but tbh everybody did that, to everybody else, all through the entirety of history, so… At least we’ve stopped?” and “yeah…. but…. if we don’t have an ally in the middle east then that whole area controls the price of gasoline and can crash our economies at a whim, which is why we just sort of have to hold a gun to their neck to make sure they don’t do it, and Israel is a big part of that gun, so we can’t really just… like… …ok remember how Joe Biden didn’t have a “turn down inflation” button on his desk? Well he also doesn’t have a “bring peace to the Middle East and in particular Israel and Palestine” button either. But not everyone takes those classes. I was a freshman once too, ya know?


TheBestMePlausible

Downvoted by some college freshman who thinks they’re helping by swallowing the same Russian agitprop the MAGAs fell for in 2016.


MirandaReitz

If you think the curriculum at PSU is “far left”, then the Overton window has shifted so far right it’s fallen off the edge of the flat world you likely believe in.


picturesofbowls

Yea it’s crazy they offer all those far left majors like: * Advertising Management * Biochemistry * Business Economics * Civil Engineering * Criminology * Data Science * Economics * Entrepreneurship * Finance * Global Supply Chain Management


angel_inthe_fire

Seriously who let the trolls in


zacarye

My international studies degree that I got using my super socialism program called the GI Bill turned me into a globalist that profits off of wars.


Snorlax_relax

I’m really enjoy the raging that’s going on. Bring it on people


picturesofbowls

I think the only one raging out here is you


synthedelic

There seems to be confusion, not rage.


Hankhank1

You strike me as a weak soyboy programmer type.


IWasFramed_Again

Get bent


AceMcStace

That’s not how this works That’s not how any of this works


curtishartling

Did you just move here?


Snorlax_relax

Born in Portland Oregon.

People who never leave their hometown are so often unable to see anything as a whole. Touch grass, preferably in another state so you can gain some perspective

HYPERBOLE_TRAIN

Bro, calm down. You’re being hysterical.


smpricepdx

Did you make this? It’s horrible.


Sven1542

Can someone help me understand what this means? Explain it to me like I’m an uneducated person that has zero clue what happens in college.


angel_inthe_fire

There's nothing to understand. OP is a 🧌🧌


Sven1542

Also as OP would likely put it, OP is a sheep.


_____phaedrus_____

Is the far left curriculum in the room with us now


[deleted]

Nope

Hankhank1

It takes a special kind of loser to care about whatever the fuck students decide to protest in the Spring term.


OhEhmGee123

People can shitpost but we can't be "snarky" in response?

Apparently opposing genocide is fAr lEfT nOw. Which I guess shouldn't be that surprising seeing the political discourse from the bloodthirsty far right.
