  It’s [from the Babylon Bee]/babylonbee.com/…/counter-cultural-rebel-believes-…).

  So now you know exactly what’s meant by “universities”. Anyone who saw that and wasn’t immediately suspicious is, I’m sorry, completely media-illiterate.

    For anyone who is still confused, this is their disclaimer at the end of the article. They are Nat-Cs

    Ah, so they mean “The Liberals”. This meme could pass for Conservative or Leftist depending on the author.

      In the article he mentions that he also listens to Marx, so author is clearly conservative.

      Ya, I bet university is not in that list because of their responses to Israel’s genocide of Palestinians.

    As a Canadian i think there’s a little confusion here because the roles universities play are a bit different here vs the US. I went to uni and I don’t remember extremely biased teachings myself, and I studied economics.

    I’m only very slightly familiar with the Babylon bee as parody kind of like the onion or hard times, but I’m not very familiar with their actual leanings.

      It’s right-wing onion. That’s why they’re spitting at universities.

        Good to know, that makes a lot of sense. I hadn’t seen them in years so I had forgotten. Thanks for the clarification!

      When you talk about American conservatives, you’re talking about people to whom everything to the left of a church collection plate is extreme left

      A college education is increasingly becoming the political dividing line in the US so the right is trying to degrade trust in the university and education in general.

      My university had extremely biased teachings. Never once did they present me with alternative physics. And in the humanities they made me stay on topic and provide well reasoned evidence for whatever position I took.

  I assume it’s referencing how so many universities are bending the knee to secure funding from the regime.

    This is from the Babylon Bee.

    I don’t know if you’re saying this is a tankie meme or just akin to one, but the former would be awfully confidently incorrect given a 10-second search returns the exact article.

    Babylon Bee, the source of this, is a far right clone of the Onion but doesn’t quite understand how punchlines work.

  My thought is its from the American perspective where alot of universities are commercialized like the right wing or religious ones?.. Or it can be that university’s in the USA are just football teams attached to a school?.. maybe?
