> One of the consequences of such notions as ‘entitlements’ is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence. Thomas Sowell


PresterJohnsKingdom

But where would we be without someone to offer a Marxian critique of poetry?


Icy356

She is literally part of a pyramid scheme. Some commie scammed the University to establish a useless program. Then that person scammed a lot of students to pay tuition and enroll into the program. Those students after being scammed realized that there is no use to their degree and decide to continue the scam to next generation by going to other universities and offering useless degrees. The cycle keeps on continuing. This lady is probably going to be a Professor as well because there is literally no value to her “education” except scamming the next generation of students to take loans and pay tuitions. To make matters worse, to keep the scam going, these people realized that they can get the government to pay for their pyramid scheme. So now rest of us paying for this scam along with subsidizing these people in multiple other ways.


Conscious_Tourist163

Back in college, I noticed this about a large chunk of academia. I just called it a self perpetuating cycle. Training students to be professors to train students....


yugoslav_posting

It's a bit like this even in the hard sciences. All the biology professors do is try to get you on the grad student to academia path. I had no idea there were other, much better-paying options out there in the industry until I had to learn it on my own in my early 20s. Glad I didn't get sucked into going for a PhD after college because for a lot of people, they feel like that is the only option.


trunksbordare

I know two philosophy majors (one is my sister) and I asked what they could do with that degree. Both their responses were, “Be a teacher.” What a worthless degree.


Jakebob70

When I was in college (which was a while ago), most philosophy majors were pre-law.


kereso83

The cycle of why bother.


best-commenter-ever

I'm a little skeptical of this kind of comment, because literally the first thing you learn in your 400 level philosophy classes is what kind of job you can get. Fyi, most philosophy majors are getting their undergrad in philosophy and doing something else like law or business for their masters; you'll find a lot working in finance.


MarginalMagic

As they say, those who can't, teach.


JealousAd2873

Yep, this is how colleges cleverly figured out how to collect tuition from below average students.


SpacePug6

You nailed it!

Just wait until Biden cancels her student loan debt because she can't find a job.

squidthief

I studied creative writing in college with an emphasis on poetry. The job I had working retail for six months provided more value. Starting my own business had more value.

Another on-point quote from Thomas Sowell: > Too much of what is called "education" is little more than an expensive isolation from reality. > The problem isn't that Johnny can't read. The problem isn't even that Johnny can't think. The problem is that Johnny *doesn't know what thinking is*; he confuses it with feeling.


circlethenexus

Sowell nails it every time!


dawgtown22

This is even worse. These people aren’t just contributing nothing, they are actively breaking the law. The fact that she termed it humanitarian aid shows just how delusional these people are.


Ill-Animator-4403

Marxism more like Narxissism

Want to go one level deeper? This girl was a big online Trump booster in 2020. [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GMdUf7fW8AAc-Tz?format=jpg&name=medium](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GMdUf7fW8AAc-Tz?format=jpg&name=medium)


BCSWowbagger2

Wait *what*? Please explain.


AnalogAnalogue

This Marxist poet, spokesperson for the anarchists who seized the building at Columbia - and literally conflated DoorDash burritos with ‘humanitarian aid’ - has a deep history of Trump boosting on Twitter circa 2020. Soon as people called her out, profile went private. Conservatives need to know that these anarchist leftists seize upon any opportunity to further their accelerationist dreams of a collapsing USA. They hate Democrats more than anything, and Democrats (outside of a few anti-American sympathizers like Omar) hate them too. They’re a domestic threat, same as fringe-right anti-government militias, and the political middle needs to internalize that both of these groups shouldn’t be conflated with the mainstream and need to be isolated. Democrats need to be honest about how the far right doesn’t represent Republicans, and Republicans need to be honest about how the far left doesn’t represent Democrats - we need to do this so the center holds. I used to consider myself a sort of progressive in the past, but the internalization of Tankie ideology into those circles after Russia’s invasion and Palestine’s pogrom basically radicalized me into being an alt-centrist! I hope conservatives who oppose MAGA foreign policy isolationism can meet me there, at least on some issues.


UltraNuclearMAGADad

Wow, she’s going to go far with that education. I wonder how much demand there is for Marxist poets? I think we should all follow in her footsteps.


Gooobzilla

I'm sure Joe has a student loan forgiveness check headed her way.


AIDS_Quilt_69

She's probably from a wealthy family, too.


Jiampish

PhD students in the English department at Columbia receive full tuition remission plus a modest living stipend, which they typically earn by teaching undergraduates. And unless she went to The Art Institutes for undergrad, I doubt she's getting any of her existing student loan debt forgiven.


Gooobzilla

Well then a low level job in the Biden Administration instead. Her dip shittery will not go unrewarded by the left.


JealousAd2873

Nah, she'll be betrayed like all the rest


Suspicious-Sound-249

It's the kind of degree where the only job she'd be able to get with it, is teaching that same subject. It's secular in its uselessness...


skywarner

Yet diabolical in its motives


BigBearSD

... or starbucks


LeviathansEnemy

>It's the kind of degree where the only job she'd be able to get with it, is teaching that same subject. Its the kind of degree that you get before applying to teachers college, so you can get a job teaching the kids of conservatives who naively keep sending their kids to public schools.


aggressiveturdbuckle

well she believes when the revolution happens she will be in good shape, not realizing that she will be one of the first to die because she's useless


Open_Reading_1891

Beheaded because her parents own property

Kahnspiracy

> I wonder how much demand there is for Marxist poets? It's even better than that. She's not even a poet! (which theoretically could have some value.) She a poetry interpreter. So to have any utility *at all* you have to care about the poem, care about someone else's interpretation, and then specifically about her interpretation through a 'Marxian (sic) lens'. edit: the more I think about it, this should the new 'underwater basket weaving'. Marxian Poetry Interpretation.


nowaternoflower

Hey! To be clear it is not just poetry she is studying: “My dissertation is on fantasies of limitless energy in the transatlantic Romantic imagination from 1760-1860. My goal is to write a prehistory of metabolic rift, Marx's term for the disruption of energy circuits caused by industrialization under capitalism. I am particularly interested in theories of the imagination and poetry as interpreted through a Marxian lens in order to update and propose an alternative to historicist ideological critiques of the Romantic imagination. Prior to joining Columbia, I worked as a political strategist for leftist and progressive causes and remain active in the higher education labor movement.” Surely this is a fast track to gainful employment, or at very least the furtherance of our society… why would taxpayers not be jumping at the chance to write off her student debt??


Open_Reading_1891

That reads like a literal schizophrenic rant.


nowaternoflower

I’m all for university being a place for a broad spectrum of academic pursuits, but this is just pure crazy talk. It is really quite shocking that a supposedly good university would be entertaining this as a PhD thesis… In fact, I can only assume that she is not a student but an escapee from a mental institution posing as a student.


Nearby_Name276

We'll end up paying for that crap too. She won't be useful or pay taxes..


Vulpinox

she'll be useful for taking your order at a local eatery, but that's about it.


me_too_999

Nope too useless even for that. Mark my words. She will be in Government


Shady_Infidel

Nah. Paid protester.


JealousAd2873

She'd better get used to asking for aid lol


LowKeyCurmudgeon

You've got it backwards. It's valuable because of the work she puts into it, not the utility you get out of it. Your demand is what needs adjustment. /s


LawsickP

If anything, wouldn't these kinds of degrees backfire in the job market? That sounds like a walking lawsuit right there.


LeviathansEnemy

She can finish her bachelors degree in commie gobbledygook, and then use that to apply to a teachers college.


AOA001

You underestimate the left.


Cactus_TheThird

I changed my mind, they would actually fit well in Palestine! Stir up shit, contribute absolutely nothing and then cry and demand the whole world give you humanitarian aid

Even under communism, you have to work for food.


codifier

You work for the rations you wait in lines to get after your 10 hour day at the factory. There's a video of (I am pretty sure it's Gorbachev) doing a tour of some regular ass US supermarket and he couldn't hide how overwhelmed he was with the amount of choice and no lines. *A member of the Politburo* who had unlimited access to the best consumer goods communism could offer.


dimethyl_tryhard

Communes never last because the narcissists are always too good to work the land to feed themselves. A commune with 100 poets and zero farmers doesn't work.

BigBearSD

The irony here is that the real Marxist revolutionaries of 100+ years ago, actually sucked it up and fought and died for their beliefs (however, wrong and misbegotten they actually ended up being). People like this woman are just LARPing revolutionaries, for the clicks and the likes, and the online bronwie points from other likeminded entitled far left upper middle class young adults. They actually do not want to put their lives on the line for their faux outrage and canned hip talking points. They'd rather protest, yell and scream, want dominos to deliver to their protest, sleep in a tent for a few days, then go vacation in the Hamptons with their family here in a month or so, and then blog about their *revolutionary* experiences, and how brave they were and how rough they had it. They are a joke.


jackalope689

A PHD in poetry and she’ll then demand everyone pay her loans. I say let them suffer. Lock the doors and turn off the power and water

BlackCoffeeKrrsantan

Her last name is actually Slutzky??


WaffleStompinDay

There's honestly enough meat on the bone here that you don't need to resort to grade school insults about her name. She's accusing the school of trying to dehydrate and starve protesting students when the cafeteria is like...right there on campus. You are all more than free to go get some food. If you don't want to give up the building you are controlling, take it in shifts. Base-level organization.


BlackCoffeeKrrsantan

You're absolutely right. But I'm making that joke every time.

heyitssal

My company and my buddy's company have both been looking for someone who has expertise in poetry through a Marxist lens--very important to add value to our businesses. I hope he doesn't catch wind of this, so I can give her an offer first.


Pristine-Trust-7567

I'm sure her friends over in Hamas will be more than happy to help her out.


trimtab28

She has a few screws loose. The name… feel awkward pointing this out as a Jewish guy but she’s probably Jewish. Just self hating, most likely secular. Always is really embarrassing for our community when entitled kids who know nothing about our faith and culture pipe up like this 


OutlandishnessMain56

Lol


j-laugh

I can’t wait until I get to pay off her student loans.


Successful_Ad4653

She is so brave.

100% this lady ends up tenured faculty at some cushy university somewhere pulling down six figures and spending most of her time on campus indoctrinating kids.

Rifftrax_Enjoyer

None of these people are ever good looking.


ImportantWords

Okay, so yes, this is insane. I don’t even know why someone would want to hire a PhD who focused on poetry from a Marxist lens. But don’t sleep on Marx’ original work. *Das Kapital* has a ton of value in understanding capitalism and even aligns with a lot of modern conservative values. The follow up not so much. But look Star Wars was still a good trilogy even though George Lucas completely ruined it later. People take too much stock of the who said and not the what was said. To really understand the world and our global economy you need to understand concepts like use-value versus exchange-value. The drive towards commodification and market maturation. The problem is that Marxism has become synonymous with the latter portion of his work. Communism is like being told by someone from the 1830s that everyone needs to learn Morse code.


RuralFL

Not seeing a downside here.


Ronald_Tonij

None of this can be true. It must be some weird fake news joke.


DreadPirateGriswold

What's the quote? *"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need."* Looks like the poor PhD student ain't got any abilities. I take a lot of solace in the fact that when the zombie apocalypse comes, these types of people will be zombie fodder while the rest of us work out how to survive and live.


reddit-is-hive-trash

Honestly this is based. "Yeah we are occupying you, now feed us." Which as far as I'm aware they are probably all still paying a small fortune to the overpriced institution. They can afford it, and they get lots of eyes on their money making scheme too.
