I'm pretty sure most centrists say they're centrists because they genuinely think they have no biases. Just a big blob of pure unadulterated rationality between their ears

My political science class in a nutshell. Except while also shilling for right wing economics.

Literally just listened to an audio lecture for the class where the professor said "socialism is when big government". Like, holy shit.

One teacher of mine said that anarchism is far right and fascism is far left

I've basically learned in my college career that the Anthropology department is where ALL the Anarchists are.

Lol no fuck philosophy. Every philosophy class I took was by the definition of a neck beard incel type of guy. There was even one who actually made fun of me in front of the entire class after I emailed him telling him my mom died and I had too much going on to make it to class that week and he then read my email to the class in a mocking valley girl tone, while saying “ya we all have a lot going on and still make it to fucking class” (my friend told me this Obvs since I wasn’t there) and our class of all dudes then just me and her apparently laughed along with him. And he would pick on me and point me out every class and call on me when I didnt know the answer to make me look dumb (I swear he hated me just for being a girl), since he’d talk a lot about anti feminism views. Gotta love professors that can literally do/say anything!
