I said the intellectuals, aka scientist are always the first to flee from fascist states, because they know better. Also professors are shortages in some universities thats not the USA, USA is too bloated from the university standpoint in terms faculty, even to the point phds.cant get permanjobs
I’m not a professor but I would’ve fled 8-9 years ago if any of my preferred destination countries would have me. -The thing is, those countries have to want you. It’s a lot easier to flee or migrate when you have a PhD, youth, a personal business, and/or lots of money.
9 years is a good chunk of time to prepare for the movement. Countries that people want to move to always have a place for a professional, and you can become a professional in just about anything im 9 years, if you put your mind to it
As another “not dealing with this shit” (non-American) expat, yes, yes it is.

Timothy Snyder is a Russian historian and has a number of books that discuss the rise of Russian oligarchy. Just thought that might be important.
Everyone should watch his youtube series on ukraine
It can’t be overstated how much Columbia has fucked up this moment. They caved to Elise ‘Great Replacement Theory’ Stefanik’s fake antisemitism hearings stoked that fire, their original unnecessary crackdown on students is largely the cause of the broader unrest on campuses, and now their capitulation signals the weakness of American educational institutions.
It doesn’t look like they’re going to course correct any time soon either, so hopefully people will reevaluate their position as an elite school.
Also their alleged revoking of people’s degree essentially makes Columbia’s diplomas being this close to be ignored by employers
I expect it makes students think twice about enrolling too, if your degree can be taken away because the university doesn’t like something you said.
I’m gonna grammar MAGA (Make America Grammatical Again) and say that it’s course correct, not coarse correct.
Of coarse!
They are doing it because they are smart.
That’s it … that’s my response. College professors are smart … I’m leaving now.
So are they not paying attention to fascism spreading in Canada?
It’s infected all western countries. Globalization leads to global problems.
Yes. But our fascist is largely a laughing stock who is actually likely to lose his own seat in parliament in a month if the polls hold. His association with Trump is resoundingly hated both on the left and most people on the right. He’s a twerp that (hopefully) isn’t long for this world (politically speaking of course)
LoL. You think Canada’s government has a problem with just one fascist?! It’s infested.
Not really. They’re mostly clustered in a couple of prairie provinces, which have a very small impact on elections. Ontario and Quebec basically determine the election. So as long as the Eastern conservatives stick to their fiscal bitching and moaning and generally shy away from the culture war bullshit (which they generally do), we’ll be fine. Poppinfresh and his gang of Maple Maga are trying to take over the party, but for now at least, his own party has expressed annoyance as his rules about what they can and cannot say.
Weird that isolated clusters are the only sources of fascism in Canada, when the PM’s office had multiple Nazi sympathizer scandals, and indigenous people across the entire country live in fear for their lives.
How are isolated clusters controlling national politics?
Canada gained 3 non fascists, so it’s going down.
Freeland’s going for the PM spot. A politician with multiple Nazi sympathizer scandals.
