At this stage, one would have to be intentionally ignorant of the history of academia and its current trajectory to believe that, or lying.

Rural farmers are responsible for whatever the fuck this is supposed to be:

Course name at Melbourne University:

Global Intersections: Gender, Race, Class - What is the relationship between gender, globalisation and identity?

Queering Europe -investigates the social and linguistic contexts, cultural production, and representation of LGBTIQA+ communities in Europe.

Gender, Care and Everyday - How do we care for ourselves, others and our environment? What are the dynamics of gender, race, sexuality, class, ability, and citizenship in relation to care?

Have you bothered to look at the literature the whack jobs who take these courses put out?

This redacted is paid for, supported by, and student loans granted by our governments here in Australia.

The worst marriage of government and academia modern democratic society has seen.

I dont see any issue with those courses. There is nothing wrong with studying any of those topics.

And I dont know what your remark about rural farmers is meant to be. My point was, they are in general fearful of cities and are out of touch with cities where majority of people live, academia and basically any not-rural-farmer subculture.
