Timothy Snyder is a Russian historian and has a number of books that discuss the rise of Russian oligarchy. Just thought that might be important.
Everyone should watch his youtube series on ukraine
They are doing it because they are smart.
That's it ... that's my response. College professors are smart ... I'm leaving now.
So are they not paying attention to fascism spreading in Canada?
It’s infected all western countries. Globalization leads to global problems.
Yes. But our fascist is largely a laughing stock who is actually likely to lose his own seat in parliament in a month if the polls hold. His association with Trump is resoundingly hated both on the left and most people on the right. He's a twerp that (hopefully) isn't long for this world (politically speaking of course)
Canada gained 3 non fascists, so it's going down.
Freeland’s going for the PM spot. A politician with multiple Nazi sympathizer scandals.
Weak and contemptible people, they just fall over when the only penalty is slight career inconvenience for a few years.
What do they think happens when real fascism shows up instead of the racist clown car that is the Trump administration.
I don't think people like Timothy Snyder are dumb enough to wait until he is disappeared by plainclothes armed forces. He has a series about Ukraine on YouTube. If an opinion piece can make you disappear imagine a whole Channel.
The people that are being disappeared are all of middle eastern descent, non US born citizens, and protesting for Palestine, Timothy Snyder of all people should be familiar with the poem „First they came for the Communists and I did nothing…“ and understand what it means, and understand that now is the time to act and stand your ground.
What happens when real fascism shows up?
Probably think to themselves “Glad I got the fuck out of there when I did.”
Please go away.
Must be nice to have the means to flee.
I said the intellectuals, aka scientist are always the first to flee from fascist states, because they know better. Also professors are shortages in some universities thats not the USA, USA is too bloated from the university standpoint in terms faculty, even to the point phds.cant get permanjobs
As another "not dealing with this shit" (non-American) expat, yes, yes it is.
It can't be overstated how much Columbia has fucked up this moment. They caved to Elise 'Great Replacement Theory' Stefanik's fake antisemitism hearings stoked that fire, their original unnecessary crackdown on students is largely the cause of the broader unrest on campuses, and now their capitulation signals the weakness of American educational institutions.
It doesn't look like they're going to course correct any time soon either, so hopefully people will reevaluate their position as an elite school.
Also their alleged revoking of people's degree essentially makes Columbia's diplomas being this close to be ignored by employers
I expect it makes students think twice about enrolling too, if your degree can be taken away because the university doesn't like something you said.
I'm gonna grammar MAGA (Make America Grammatical Again) and say that it's course correct, not coarse correct.
Of coarse!
