>>9137594
I'm learning both

Damn I was considering anthropology, who wouldn't want to understand our history through the lense lucidi-oh wait

drop that shit m8 so you can get your refund, or take it and bs your way through it with some earbuds on ( if prof allows earbuds).

be sure to agree with the professor and reenforce them on eevrythig for those good boy points

>>9137571
either you are taking this class as an elective not related to your degree, or your degree has no job prospects
you are getting what you deserve

>>9137571
You people are fucking retarded, it's like you go around looking for things to get angry at

Anthropology is infested with Progressive/liberal/Cultural Marxism. It is the most infested. Modern Anthopology is religion.

People in acedemia know this but their tolerance for uncomfortable truth has reach the level of a toddler.

Ask how racism exists in a species without race, then ask your professor why xe cares so much about a meaningless social construct after xir explanation.

>2nd day of human geography lecture
>environmental determinism is the idea that a climate and biome impacts the development of a society's culture and people
>we will almost always reject this notion in this room, it is antiquated and racist
What the fuck? I thought this was obvious!
He didn't say "but data shows that this isnt true" or "even though there is a lot of discussion to be had here, we will ignore it for now"
Just fucking "no das raycis"
Is there literally any reason that a society's biome would not be a major factor in determining its culture, or is shelter, food source, climate, coastal/inland, and so on just not part of "biome" now?
Or are these people willfully ruining the integrity of their field so that they can claim that "EVERYONE MADE THE SAME ADVANCEMENTS!"
The best way to defend african tribal stagnancy is through the idea of them not needing more advanced shelter due to their climate. Otherwise, you're forced to call it either crazy luck or a biological thing, which I think would be worse.

I fucking hate the soft sciences.

>Capitalism works
>All capitalist societies are ridden with a huge group of people who want to collapse it

Pick one and only one. If capitalism is so good why can't it convince its users that it is good? And obviously I am not talking about poor people who may resent capitalism for simply not having money. Most communist and socialists in te US and Europe are white middle class 20-somethings with rich parents.

If Capitalism is so good then why does even the middle class and rich hate it?

>implying that 20-somethings who have had their life handed to them on a silver platter are a good judge of a economic systems values

>>9138553
Well, they are rich. They benefit from capitalism. Why do they oppose it?

I mean, how could a system be perfect if everyone inside it resents it for some reason or another?

I think it is better to say that capitalism is good. Capitalism was a good idea, but not perfect. Clearly capitalism is a placeholder for something bigger. What is it? Well, Papa Marx said it clearly. Capitalism brings abundance, abundance brings socialism, socialism brings communism. Communism is the ultimate system. Europe and the US are already at a point where they can make the jump to socialism and in a way we are taking steps there but not enough.

The reason many leftists oppose capitalism is because they have a deluded sense of "fair". They think everyone should receive the same amount, even if not everyone contributes the same amount.
Give one example of a communist system that didn't result in failure to meet basic human needs

>>9138557
irrelevant. Comunnism also had a lot of intellectuals opposed and disillusioned to it.
The correct answer is: despite how good an economic system is, people will over-magnify its flaws and dream of utopias, ignoring any evidence to the contrary.
That's humans for you. Luckily, there are things that just sort out themselves. If an economic system works it will prevail over other that its less efficient.

Or you could also say that the fitness of an economic model is not determined by what people think of it but by its actual persistence against competitor models.

>They think everyone should receive the same amount, even if not everyone contributes the same amount.
Nope. That is not what leftists think today and that isn't what Marx wanted either. Nice /pol/ propaganda though.

>HURR DURR Y IS COMMUNIST ALWAYS FAIL?
Not an argument. Capitalist societies have failed even more than communist societies. The only difference is that capitalism has been tried much more than communism so out of luck some capitalist societies have thrived. Pure trial and error.

Keep trying communism and we will get it right. We are at a good point for that in the US. Venezuela switched from capitalism to socialism too quickly, but the US is ripe for socialism
