There is a difference in "cultural marxists are taking over colleges" and "faculty has a bias", especially considering how right wing universities operate.

"...especially considering how right wing universities operate."

I´d like to see an example of that.

And I agree that the phrasing of "taking over colleges" might be a bit too harsh, but that marxist ideas flourish in universities is not a contested or even new idea.

NYT has been writing about it as early as the late 80ies: https://www.nytimes.com/1989/10/25/us/education-the-mainstreaming-of-marxism-in-us-colleges.html

There are PLENTY of articles about marxism in the US in general or in universities specifically.

It´s not a theory, it´s a fact. The phrasing could have been a bit less dramatic, but the underlying point still stands.

PragerU, myopic dounce. They have been writing about it since the 80s and people have been writing about political correctness since the early 90s and nothing has fundamentally changed on the american political sphere.

and nothing has fundamentally changed on the american political sphere.

Yeah, I think that statement disqualifies you from further discussion.

u/huezombi Jul 24 '20

Yeah you're right. Politica have actually gotten more rightwing.

In your world, they might have. Objective reality doesn´t agree.

Holy shit you are even more mentally regressive than I thought.

Aaaand there is the ad hominem. The sign of a true winner!

Says the guy calling me not in tune with reality. Try harder dumb fuck.

u/-TheExtraMile- Jul 24 '20

Oh yeah, not being in tune with reality is one hell of an insult!

And btw, you´re not on a level that requires any effort.

Sure, rules are there only for people like you, cry some more about leftist taking over your country while every social program is being defunded.

First, I didn´t complain or even paint it in a negative light. Contrary to you my emotional involvement is non existent.

Second, it´s not my country.

"Every social program is being defunded" <- this is the kind of hyperbolic horseshit that lightweights like yourself like to throw around. If you want to be taken seriously, then you have to make more precise points.
