      and, honestly, if they're a decent teacher, they'd be happy to have you point out how all Uighur accusations come back to Zenz. if they have even a smidgen of curiosity, they'll listen to you.

      I would love a citations needed episode on uncritical liberal loyalty to NPR, BBC, etc.

      Yeah guys, I know we all know how bad The Current President is (this type of teacher would never dare utter Trump's name), but now that *that* is over, do you know how bad things are over in China? It's really easy for us to lose sight of the fact that there's other bad stuff going on in the world. We gotta fight tyranny in *all* forms.

    Bide your time until you get a chance to do a presentation. Then you'll have 5-10 uninterrupted minutes to do your own propaganda, and it might even work on somebody.

    shaun from youtube's recent nuclear bomb video reminded me of my international relations prof who made mandatory coursework of writing justifications for indiscriminately bombing civilians, and anyone who didn't agree about it he would argue with in front of the class at literally any time, or call them down from the bleachers from uni events to impromptu debate them in front of the student body over it.

    You should’ve pulled down your hoody, March to the front of the class, and shut that shit down?

    You post in chat. You should’ve been ready.
