If you're a tenured professor or a grad student and you want to get critical work published, don't worry about actually saying anything you care about or is true, just write the most provocative, head-turning bullshit you can come up with! And make sure that EVERYTHING is either Marxist, feminist, Marxist-feminist, or anarcho-Marxist-feminist.
Anybody else see this as a major flaw in academia? People with incredible minds are basically wasting them by not saying anything with conviction or substance, cooped up in ivory towers with no connection to the world around them.
In short - fuck college, sometimes.
