    I've said it before and I'll say it again - if you can read and understand 3 works of theory of the tendency of your choosing, congrats! You have an honorary poli sci degree, and know more than most poli sci profs!

      My little sister has been sending her poly sci stuff and her professor is an absolute moron. Like legitimately I can't believe how uneducated they are.

          She's a junior and he had them write an essay about what it means to be American. He also pulled the "Communism is when dictators murder and socialism is when the government does stuff" schtick.

          He's very conservative and uses the term "liberal" to insult students and mocked an extra credit art project she did with overtly socialist imagery in front of the class calling it "liberal trash".

          This is a Florida college btw

            I know someone who took a polisci class and the teacher explained that there were two types viewpoints, realist and liberalist

            The realist is okay with killing a bunch of children as long as the country comes out on top while the liberalist wants everyone to be friends

            Tbf, I've definitely seen that happen on here as well. Even when people aren't really exibiting any lib tendencies, but just disagreeing over doctrine and strategy.

              That's completely different than a teacher, who has authority, shaming someone in front of their peers. I don't understand how you're being fair by comparing the two.

              Yeah, but he's calling them "liberal" in the way that Trump does. There's a massive difference between left wing criticism of liberalism and right wing criticism.

        "No investigation, no right to speak" is so applicable to every field of knowledge and discipline I can think of. It's become my go-to response to someone who tries to tell me how to do my job when they don't understand it

      Many such cases! I work in a design field and accidentally explained some trade-offs in terms of primary vs. secondary and non-antagonistic vs. antagonistic contradictions and my coworker was floored by how useful a schema it was.
