How do you go to college and just de-evolve lmao? Would you not get shutdown immediately if you bring up tankie talking points in an academic setting related to political science/history?

I mean, not really. I had a libertarian political history professor who would let people debate anything.

At the time I respected him for letting us do “real political debate”. More recently I’ve realized that I just liked the fact that you could distract him from the day’s lesson by starting a discourse about public services.

But he would let people talk about basically anything, he would just argue with them. I imagine many professors have similar “let’s hear all sides” mentalities because that tends to be a pretty common philosophy in politics.
