AKA I am writing a fucking essay on Deng Xiaoping and Xi Jinping in order to own my globpol professor

I am emailing it to him

Unlike Deng Xiaoping I do not consider myself mainly a pragmatist, i do consider myself a petty bitch however

to all of you who say it's not worth it: it is to me. he called me a fucking bernie bro. he owned me so hard. I will own him back. have fun reading 20 pages of email bitch half of which are just literal excerpts from the Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping and the Governance of China, if you ever unironically stan fukuyama in my presence again I will email you just the entirety of capital out of disgust. read theory fucker

            I've been soft-banned from discussion after I raised my hand, grabbed a marker and drew the productivity wages graph with labeled lines and axes when he asked for criticisms of his bae fukuyama and "the end of history" bullshit of liberalism being the final stage, then just sat back down without further comment

            the end of conflict my ass ill draw some conflict that liberalism cannot solve

                what's he gonna do? Drum up a red scare? I haven't even talked about stalin or mao yet, they can't stick me with 'genocide denial'.

                like seriously, i'm not being disruptive. That was the most cordial way I could have criticised fukuyama, legit. I have words for that motherfucker he was spared

                It's pure political persecution otherwise. I'll dig in my heels on it. The class actually listens to me, legit, i talk with some of em before the teacher gets there while im compiling material. I am the teacher now, bitch give me your degree

              Hey leave some coolness for the rest of us!

              But for real what a bitch, he wants criticism in his "marketplace of ideas" or whatever yet is scared of a graph. I would've just drawn the burning twin towers

      If you banged it out in 10 minutes and it's that long a second draft would have maybe been smart before sending.

          Comrade dad. I usually sit on something like that overnight and then edit so I look less like a raging loon.

            he's a lib but he's one of those "respect people's beliefs" libs so he doesn't really change the essence of what I write which is lit. I vented like half an hour last time after class to him

        sure just get really really mad and type stream of consciousness, then check grammar. a skill i have mastered for polisci papers.

        the compilation of evidence is the hard part. Write it like you're lenin, lenin gets really mad and writes but also cleans it after and people love it

        also this is adhd hyperfocus i zoned out in class writing this lmao i just got so mad

          It'd be a bit harder to work up that emotion for history, for long gone events, or historiography, for reviewing other works on long gone events :thinkin-lenin:

          I also got the problem that I can't stand not having it be perfect as I write it, maybe I ought to dictate more, I'm fine with editing that

          But I think these are good tips, thanks :kim-salute:

            fair but obligatory

            undemocratic collapse of the soviet union under mikhail gorbachev and subsequent neoliberalization

              Hell yeah, that I would like to do a paper on. Right now it's just a book report on the racial component of secession of the South, which is something I should be juiced up for, but I'm required to look through the book to find good quotes, so sadly I can't just type a bunch down :yes-honey-left:

                quick tip, take a bunch of pictures of good quotes and run an online ocr service on them. it's not perfect, it's sometimes actively bad, but it's much easier to copy

                  It'll be a bit more slow since I don't have a wire that can connect to my phone with, I'll have to email them.

                  That said, wow, this looks awesome, thanks :meow-floppy:

            I Hemingway it, write drunk, edit sober. I understand my own stream of consciousness and come back later and turn it into real sentences and move stuff around so it flows better. It takes a lot longer than actually doing the writing.
