lol if you think that many academics have read even half of everything Marx wrote
The ranks of academia are filled with people who: - Describe themselves as socialists - Speak admiringly of Marxism & agree with Marx on about 95% of everything he wrote - Constantly use Marxist ideas in their research - Constantly teach Marxist ideas in their classrooms - Aggressively defend the stature of Marx as an intellectual figure to the point that they take personal offense over even minor slights to his reputation ...and yet adamantly insist that they are not, personally, Marxists. One implication is that survey measures of Marxists in academia almost certainly *understate* the ubiquity of Marxist ideology on campus.

She said she asked to bring her American-born son with her when she was deported to Honduras. Instead, the two were split up, and he was put in someone else's custody and beaten to death. Heartbreaking dispatch from the 3-year-old's funeral. Free link: wapo.st/49v354O

"You should hate a guy who died poor and whose influence wasn't felt for 30 years after his death AS MUCH AS a guy who was voted to lead a country and with that power started a global conflict and authorized the Holocaust"
I'll view academia with less contempt when they universally treat Marx as AT LEAST as loathsome as Hitler. That Marxist ideas are respected AT ALL is a cancer. e.g. the "solution" to "free markets" is another dictatorship ("of the proletariat"); that states "wither away", etc.

I never learned what ressentiment means. But I suspect so-called elites just invent words like this to look down on simple, honest people.

Reporter: Are you attending your son’s wedding? Trump: He’d like me to go. I’m going to try. I said, this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things. He’s a person I’ve known for a long time.

"'complicated' conveys negativity such as purposefully complicated" incredible.
Sorry. Cannot agree. Polytropos literally means ‘many ways’ - ‘complicated’ conveys negativity such as purposefully complicated ie. almost difficult. It means more like clever and crafty in his ability to think and problem solve. In these first lines she is already dumbing it down and getting it wrong.

People are being really judgy about this but if you pay attention, you’ll see that she glances up at the road every 7 seconds or so, just like they teach you to do in driver’s ed.
