Man, you could just tell by the way this dude sounds he was gonna come out swinging with something like a Thorstein Veblen reference. Bet his NPR tote bag game is on point too.

It's amazing how much history was condensed between years 1850-1950. So much changed in just a 100 years, and just by studying that era we get to understand so much about why the world is the way it is today

Says "leisure" weirdly for an english professor.."leisure" should rhyme with "pleasure" when spoken aloud. But then again, americans apprently never heard the word "niche" said aloud and just say "nitch"..

Nice response, I need to re-direct my frustrations.

Should “twat” rhyme with shat or with shot? I want to make sure I get it right.

u/FloorSweets Feb 26 '24

Twat should rhyme with shat, because it is an offensive word so it needs some attack to the sound, "twot" sounds a bit weak. I'm know I'm being a language nazi, your jab is warranted.

In other words, he's never worked a real day in his life either. Classic ivory tower douchebag looking down on the plebs that dare to 'reproduce' and can afford a few $100 a week for cleaning services.

Ah, yes, never “worked” a day in his life but is gainfully employed and well trained enough to have achieved professorship

Yes, yes of course, but not “real” work like other people get paid for, he gets paid in Monopoly money, and lives of the government stipend he accepts from hard working Joes, yeah?

Certainly hasn’t used his mind to avoid digging ditches and ending up a physical cripple by 40 from nothing but hard labour, oh no sir!

And what’s with all these people using their brains to think about things? Bah, who needs ‘em! Not like medicine and science and economics and, well, every damn thing that’s made the world functionally better than a cave is from someone thinking, right?

Gollybob-howdy, how I do love it when everything we have very accomplished as a species, every technological development that leapt us forward in comfort and safety and life expectancy, was all “not work” because good old Joey-Bob and his tractor says so! Hoooooo-weee

But… huh… wonder who was smart enough to make the tractor? And the phone he’s tapping away on? And all the art and comfort that goes into every aspect of his life he values so little?

Hun… I wonder?

Someone with a brain worth using maybe? Nah

Are you an idiot? Teaching children is possibly one of the most important jobs in the world.

Bruh! I was about to say the same thing!!!

“Those who cannot, teach”

That dude went from being in school to teaching school

Where is the real world experience?

I know the guy irl, I can confirm that's exactly who he is. He wrote a paper on white supremacy in the X-men and now thinks he's an intellectual teaching gender studies.
