On a somewhat related note... my company is trying to move into federal contracts, and more specifically grants. I’ve been looking into the grant application process, and you can’t find a more fvcked up work relationship than a white liberal professor and their cadre of PhD students.
They basically import brown kids, through IMF scholarships, world bank, WHO, etc etc the kids get “free education” and sucked into indentured servitude. The scholarship may give them a stipend of something like $5k a semester, and in the meantime the academic dept drags out their PhD work 6 to 8 years to get unpaid employees to teach undergrad, grade papers, deal with student issues, etc etc. And if you don’t play the academic politics correctly, they’ll extend your dissertation.
The PhD students are really used to write grant applications to get federal money, which the university take a 50% to 90%, and the rest goes to the tenured professor/ slave owner. All the tenured professors are mostly white liberals. Half of the phd students don’t make it through, so they get to go home with nothing to show for it. The ones that do make it, are the last fvcking people their home countries want to hire for advanced PhD work. No, those countries want to hire the same white liberal that was exploiting the kids that they sent in the first place.
And then my favorite part, a lot of the grants tied to work in foreign countries are open ended items like “helping the Pakistani Economy recover,” or opening a education workshop in bosnia. It’s state dept bullshit and it’s akin to what was missionary work going back to the middle ages and trying to convert pagans to Christianity. Or you could call it “the white mans burden” to bring civilization to the savages.
White leftist liberals are some of the most oblivious people on the planet.
