Last sem I had a prof, who I shit you not made us read some guys book bitching about white people, (it was like reading one of those prison manifestos). We actually learned shit like patriarchy and the gender wage gap, in a fucking English class for science majors. Grammar lessons were how to make our writing gender neutral. The prof gave barely passing grades to white and Asian people and A's to the other races. Jfc it was like sitting in a women and gender studies class.

Is this really a thing? I have never once seen it happen. When I was in university, lectures were generally about the course material.

What did he mean by this?

>>8649047
Depends on the professor. Yes it is. In my personal experience though, it's been watered down and kind of veiled behind other things. My history professors would discuss why certain leaders were so effective. Often terms like "uniting" "standardizing" were used. It's easy to tell how they lean. I was OK with it, but you have to know how to read between what's fact and professor's opinion.

PhD student and my advisor is very right wing. In most professors I've interacted with have been in undergrad and grad. I'm in ECE. He has said several incredibly dumb things related to trump and didn't even know who mike pence was the day after election day in the meeting where HE brought it up. I just don't say anything. He's a great professor but I honestly don't even want to know his political opinions because I know I'll lose respect for him

Back in college I took a """European History""" class; during the World War 2 section we only learned about colonial troops in Europe.

>>8648948

All of my proffessors are proffessional about this stuff. We even had a stats prof that was part of the city council, and she never brought up politics. The most any of them has ever done was throw some banter against other majors (not surprising coming from maths profs) and one who constantly said that the quality of the major was only diminishing with time.

I hear a lot of comments about Trump because I major in environmental science. I asked my hydrogeology professor what he thought about Trump winning the day after the election in 2016 and he said: "It actually feels like a loved one died,".

Biochem teacher told us to go fucking vote during the election, but he did not specify who to vote for (though him being a homosexual made the choice pretty obvious). Other than that, never really had a professor insert much politics into our lectures, surprisingly. Hell, we utilized gender examples for binomial tests in stats without a massive triggering.

>>8650199
>So you don't like that she brought up Obama and renewable resources?

She was talking about him like it was the second coming of Christ or something. Liberals don't even pretend to be impartial anymore.
And people wonder why Trump won.

You conservatives are fucking dumb. You have these asinine conspiracy theories and spend all day on the internet trying to find a modicum of proof that supports your backwards views.

She seemed excited, but she didn't say very much other than that Chemistry was going to be important for renewable resources and that the students were called upon to do their best to prepare for the future.

This is how it should be done

Have had female professor that told us we should just believe x controversial chemistry topic is true because so many scientists say so.

Then have had cool, though admitted reddit memelord, biochem professor only encouraging us to read and come to our own conclusions about whatever he wanted to bring to our attention on a given day.

He was also really good about being nonpartisan really close to the election, though it was at least somewhat obvious who he would vote for he did not try to persuade us one way or the other.

Professors should teach the subject and encourage learning. If you want to discuss some (potentially) controversial news related to the subject, that's fine, but do it fucking right.

Nah, I've had two different lectures mentioned it on two different courses. Both mentioned it only once, and never brought it up again. Both said pretty much the same thing:
>I guess Trump is now the president. Kind of worrying.

I'm not studying humanities, so I don't know about them, but I heard from a friend who's taking history that the lecturer spent most of the lecture complaining about Trump and was visibly upset. It was the day after the election, though.

>>8648948
It's okay when its subtle.

Example:
>Today we're proving the ballot theorem
>After an election with 2 candidates and all votes are known, but the order they were cast is not, what is the probability that the winner stayed ahead the entire time?
>To be more precise, let T and C be the amount of votes cast for the candidates and let's hope C > T...

my advisor isn't happy about Trump winning and said his wife wanted to go back to France when he won. To that I asked him what they'd do if Le Pen won. He basically said then it didn't really matter where he was.

The only other time he brought Trump up was because he's concerned one of the other grad students is from Venezuela and currently can't get back into the US. Guess it was kind of a concern when the travel ban went out and nothing was really clear about it.

I'm a FUCKING LEAF, so most of the politics in lectures is about our own province's issues. I'm actually pretty surprised that 'Murican issues haven't leaked into classes. Yet.

My professors only complain about our stupid asshole of a health minister. I-I'm getting my undergrad in nursing.
But then we have those hippie profs who go against all scientific evidence to inject their theories that we should start using more "alternative", holistic shit instead of treatments that are proven to work. They're just as bad.
I swear. Had a prof like this when we studied oncology/hematology. She, of course, went over how docs should consider using fucking coffee enemas for colorectal cancer treatment, how cell phones/cell phone towers cause brain tumors, and how man-made sugars have caused an oral cancer epidemic. All without any proof to back it up.

Economics professors are generally redpilled as fuck about the way the world works and tend to have a good sense of humor about it.

>>8653999
Economics is a complete joke of a field, even stupider than psychology. The entire point of mainstream economics is to try and explain why capitalism can last forever, even though anyone with a brain can tell that it will eventually end just like feudalism did.

>its a "fellow student thinks cannabis can cure cancer but big pharma is hiding it episode"

Nothing infuriates me more than this. Flat Earth, Hollow Eath, NASA Moon Landing Hoaxes I can deal with, but the cannabis meme is too much because so many "intelligent" people believe it. The other day the teacher off-handedly mentioned how x-rays are used to cause cancer and the guy next to me muttered "cannibis oil". Bear in mind we're both doing physics. It took all I could not to punch him.

>>8654024
>supply and demand seems like a thing that applies even in nature.
So you're literally saying that supply and demand are issues that are unrelated to capitalism. You're right! For instance, every socialist centrally-planned economy was also necessarily concerned with supply and demand. What does supply and demand, a single facet of economic theory, have to do with the state of the overall field of economics and its subservience to capitalism?

>>8654035
You're writing off an entire field of research based on cherry picking parts you like and parts you don't. If someone disagrees with something in mathematics they don't just say the entire field of mathematics is bullshit.

>>8654038
I'm not saying we shouldn't have economic theory, but rather that the field is completely dominated by special interests. Your average economics department is like if a climate science department was funded by the Koch brothers. That's why this guy >>8653999 thinks his econ professors are "red pilled." It's because his professors are literally shills.

>>8654047
Or the more likely situation is that he lives in a red state in America and he's had teachers who don't shut up about politics. I'm sure economics taught in Europe aren't "red pilled".

Also since you mentioned climate change and I know quite a bit about that area of research.

Marxism isn't ideology, it's a theory. And it just so happens to be a theory that 90% of non-Marxian economists simply can't deal with.

>>8654087
>Economists agree that actions need to be taken to combat climate change, they aren't stupid
The greatest likelihood is that the climate crisis is going to kill capitalism. The only way capitalism has survived is by promising the proles a wage raise and a better future. The climate crisis is going to completely obliterate this, and it will coincide with advanced AI automation. Sea level rise and drought are going to demand massive infrastructure projects, mass relocation, food rations, and land reform. Historically speaking, Leninism is highly compatible with these demands.

>My main point is that hating any research in general is just more anti-intellectualism in a world where this is becoming a serious crisis, this needs to stop.
Research is research, no sane Marxist will reject informative data just because a liberal collected it.

>>8654089
Marx is increasingly making a comeback, and Thomas Piketty's Capital in the 21st Century was one of the most-talked-about books in economics the year it was published. Marxian economists like Varoufakis and Richard D. Wolff garner a lot of respect.

>>8654113

>Marxism isn't ideology, it's a theory. And it just so happens to be a theory that 90% of non-Marxian economists simply can't deal with.

Its not a theory because it doesn't explain anything. The labour theory of value is just demonstrably bollocks.

>>8654119
>Its not a theory because it doesn't explain anything.
You clearly don't even know basic Marxist economics.

>The labour theory of value is just demonstrably bollocks.
The LTV is still debatable, and it was actually a common belief among ALL economists at the time, including Adam Smith.

One of my physics profs said "Happy Martin Luther King day, this is your last chance before the new president cancels it", but he was clearly just trying to be funny. That's the most politics I got outside of classes where it's appropriate (a sociology class I was forced to take, etc)

>>8648948
I have been told, numerous times, that such things are the point of college because you would be unlikely to find an educated, informed opinion on the subject elsewhere.

Which is actually a very fantastic and astute observation on the subject. However, there's a time and place. If I'm in a history, sociology, arts, humanities, etc. course where such an opinion is both educational AND on topic, then please endorse your personal ideology. I can't figure out, though, what bearing my professor's choice of politician has on fluid dynamics.

>>8654000
How did Feudalism end?

>>8654202
Capitalism came.

>>8654202
It ended because the industrial mode of production was incompatible with feudal society (which was based on the agricultural mode of production). The actual change took place over a long period of time, but there are specific events (revolutions) that took some countries into capitalism very quickly. Countries like Britain, America, and Germany were on the forefront of industrialization, and as a result, also on the forefront of capitalism. Much of their success can be attributed to geopolitical advantages and natural resources, which is also part of Marxist analysis of material conditions. Specific bourgeois revolutions include:
>American revolution (and Civil War)
>French revolution
>1848 revolutions
And so on. Some countries such as Russia attempted to leap forward to socialism, but their success was limited by the hostile material conditions and capitalist world order. This is no different from the failure of the French revolution or the German peasant uprisings, which were also ahead of their time and thus faced insurmountable challenges.

>>8650241
TL;DR

>>8654202

Using the Feudalism/capitalism/communism model is a fucking retard way of tracking economic growth and history. You are much better off looking at the relative monetary systems in their respective times (mercantilism instead of feudalism/colonialism)

France got an emperor at the end of the revolution. Yes, decades later, France became a proper liberal democracy, but that doesn't mean the French revolution succeeded.

What kinda schools do you guys go to?
I go to a tiny liberal arts uni and none of my professors even mentioned the election or politics last semester. Not once.

The day after the election ONE of my professors let us leave a few minutes early because he had stayed up late to see the results and was tired of standing. He was also close to 80, retiring that semester and didn;t give a fuck, and commuted an hour to come teach.

This semester one prof who is Chinese as fuck asked if inauguration was a holiday and if we would have class. That's as close as any professor in my tiny maths and physics departments has come to mentioning politics. Very professional.

>>8653802

If it's a TA doing it, complain to the main lecturer for the course. If they don't do anything, complain to the student dean or the graduate program director. This is the case where you're most likely to be heard.

If it's an adjunct doing it, complain to the course coordinator (courses taught by adjuncts are often basic Freshman-level stuff, so there's a CC that's vaguely above the lecturers). If there isn't one or they don't help, you can try talking to the student dean or the department head.

Above this point (i.e., if the person is a lecturer or professor -- genuine faculty), complaining is unlikely to work unless many people have also filed complaints. Ask yourself if you have the time and energy before complaining about a lecturer or professor, because you aren't likely to be taken seriously even if you're right. You may also risking a referral to your university's "dealing with crazy students" (the name varies from place to place) office if you misstep. Talk to the student dean first, and to the department head as a last resort.

In any case, cool off before filing a complaint so you don't look like a whackjob, and make sure that what you're complaining about is a serious problem. A TA making a retarded one-off "lol Trump" joke should be a minor annoyance, not a cause for a crusade. A TA spending ten minutes of every recitation venting about Trump and intimidating students who disagree is a serious problem and worth complaining about.

It has nothing to do with who or what the professor is in support of. I just can't stand people who leverage their platform or following into a political soapbox. It's complete bullshit.

My forest soils teacher used Trump 2 times during the semester to illustrate her course, cringe...
