I'm taking an intro to polisci course right now and we've talked more about American imperialism than anything, I think I just got lucky with a based professor. I googled her and found her twitter too, she was literally liking tweets insulting liberals and stuff like "Amerikkkans will justify every instance of their country doing literal genocide"
Well she's gay, a minority, and like 30, so not you're typical 60 year old white professor with a superiority complex. Right now we're reading excerpts from Indigenous American/Canadian literature and about how those communities were very communal and democratic and far less discriminatory and selfish than Europeans.
I feel like you should ask her if she knows any other based professors and try and take their classes, even if they aren't 100% related to your field of study. Saying this as someone who had shitty profs in my field of study and I didn't really learn anything from them anyway.
My brother took a poli-sci course (ish) and they had that big ass map of "freedom" by FreedomHouse. When I pointed out that it's garbage, he got defensive and said "just because they don't publish what criteria they rank countries by, doesn't mean it's totally useless". I had a lot of fun dunking on him after that one, and he even admitted that I was kind of right, so I guess the small victories count.
Mine was really into the idea of the UN intervening more to help third world nations with their problems and thought that it should be more powerful, and also liked talking about restorative justice, so not too bad
Also he was a former child soldier in the Biafran conflict so I can't be too hard on him
I took a single poli sci course in community college and it was the biggest fucking waste of time I've ever experienced in a school setting

Mine was more "according to the chart America has more freedoms"
Like this was back when I was still a lib, but even then I could see how fucking substanceless and unscientific the class was.

Real polisci is just marxism-leninism.
The immortal science, if you will.
Real econ, too.

It was a glorified debate club for me.
