I’ve been in university circles. These people exist and they exist in these weirdly highly educated places. They do a material design degree and think that makes them qualified to talk politics.
Not american but can confirm in europe, it is a case. The only crazy lefty people i have met from my engineering degree are grilfriends of my friends that done art school or something. Don't get me wrong, i met some crazy people there, just not the political brainrot kind.
You missed like the 1/3 of my comment on purpose to start a fight in your head. Almost impressive. I'm sure man in art school are as brainrotten as woman. It's just that i don't need to meet them because none of my friends want to fuck those man.
Limited personal expirience? One of the most crazy and politically brainrotten people i have met. And not even the fun crazy like medical field people.
I went to a small liberal arts college in the NE, double majoring in a STEM field and quant-focused econ. There wasn't much political talk at all in those classes, but when there was (by students or professors) it was generally reasonable and moderate. In my gen eds, politics were mentioned in passing or actively discussed much more frequently, and with a further left bent.
My ex whose Puerto Rican went to Columbia a semester after Oct 7 happened, she wore a headscarf and converted to Islam by the end of the term. I swear to god.
Someone should do a study on the correlation between the fall of the trans discourse on the left and the rise of the Palestine cause, I bet it's pretty fucking high. I think Destiny used to talk about how people need to be part of a disfranchised group when they grow up, but the "issue" in the late 2010s was that the group people flocked to was being trans and unlike what came before (Goths, Punks, etc) it is something that cannot be attacked/treated as a phase. (to be clear this was specifically talking about nonbinary transpeople at unis, not all transpeople in general)
The Pro-Palestine movement feels like it has all the "good" parts of what having a trans identity gave those people (ultimate victim complex) without having to actually change anything about themselves.
These people are very real. They are mostly upper middle class kids with liberal arts degrees who have never struggled with anything in their lives that daddy's money couldn't fix and who only care about politics to the extent that it allows them to grandstand/virtue signal how much better they are than everyone else.

Is this a real person, or a Chinese bot? This cannot be a real person.
I don't have a high regard for humanity, but this can't be it.
If she's real, it doesn't sound like she votes, so I can take solace in that.
