My history professor has a love of socialism rather than communism. Last fall he opened his class with "I don't mean to try to convert you all to socialism this semester, but..." and went into a 15 minute lecture on the good socialism would have done for our country in the past. The rest of the semester was like that too, random interjections of how socialism would have fixed this problem or that problem.

The class didn't have exams, it had papers. I had to find a way to say what I believed in without going against the crap he was teaching. I won't let somebody like that ruin my perfect GPA.

I had to take a couple of such classes back in my college days. I used to write the most ridiculous pro-leftist papers I could on these topics. The most outlandish shit I could think of, overboard and ludicrous in the extreme. I still chuckle thinking of some of those papers.

To make it more interesting I would embed messages mocking the professor or the leftist philosophy into my essays. First letter of each sentence would spell out a message, or similar constructs. It became like a game of scrabble for me.

My professors thought I was brilliant and why was I wasting my time in engineering! None were bright enough to catch any of my messages. I was also pre-med and needed a good GPA for medical school, or I would have enjoy pushing back more overtly.

This would be much more funny if it wasn’t so sad. I experienced the same thing... writing a paper agreeing with the obvious lefty shill talking points in class netted me an easy A with minimal effort. Anything slightly against the grain required more than a night’s work to get the same grade, even with a much higher quality of writing and research.

So many peers of mine (from a top university) were looking to coast, and weren’t interested in forming opinions on their own. These are he people spewing hate in the name of justice and equality all over social media today. The future leaders of our country. Brainwashed and indoctrinated. Not so funny to me
