#the professor has in the past attempted to prevent outright political debates

[lesbianshepard]

we’re doing marx next week in intro to philosophy and i for one can not wait to hear the takes from some great classmates such as 

dude who sits in front of an NRA flag every week and talks about Liberty and how proud he was to serve in the army. (he’s the one who for some reason thought socrates was christian. guaranteed to voice his opinion at length about how evil communism is)

girl who wears a MAGA hat every week despite being indoors and on a zoom call. likes to chime in at least once to bring up jesus. i will acknowledge that she does make decent connections between what we’re discussing and the bible and she’s definitely getting participation credit in, but really you dont need to say “Jesus said that God loves us and we should be nice :)” every time. we get it. (honestly i think she might agree with the passages we’ve been assigned so im interested to see that happen)

guy who just fucking vapes the entire time and offers takes so nonsensical that the professor has to take a moment to consider what the fuck he just heard. (really just hoping to hear him go on about what he thinks aliens will be like. has happened before. very slight but exciting chance that he unironically supports posadism)

#m #text #the professor has in the past attempted to prevent outright political debates #which kind of sounds dumb because its a philosophy class and its gonna relate #but also he needs to get through the entire lesson over zoom which gets really hectic if several people try to talk over one another #so i can respect it #NRA dude has in fact uttered the sentence 'today there are people who value feelings over facts' #and i was like....god damn it....hes probably one of the five members of the TPUSA chapter at our college #so the professor might just be like WELL WE'VE GOT A LOT TO GET THROUGH and just barrel forward and avoid any arguments
