Not sure our college does many evening classes like that tbh. But hey if you can get them then do them!

Oh someone was talking Marxist ideology too. That was fun.

Emily Inkpen @emilyinkpen.bsky.social · 4d

I feel like we need to tag team in a group of 10. Pass the baton and share the load 😄

Emily Inkpen @emilyinkpen.bsky.social · 5d

Also, saying “I hate Nazis” is not “hate speech”.

And calling someone “racist” is not oppression.

Right - that’s me out and done with the Right Wingers for now.

That was a huge pile of stupid and I can’t believe … okay pet peeve but I seriously can’t believe how much people throw around the word Communism without the slightest idea of what it actually means. And It’s not hard to find out!

So hard.

Emily Inkpen @emilyinkpen.bsky.social · 5d

Yup. We can only hope to sway the lurkers.

That’s the idea! Tiring though!

Emily Inkpen @emilyinkpen.bsky.social · 5d

All ideas gratefully received 😄

Emily Inkpen @emilyinkpen.bsky.social · 5d

Thank you ♥️😄

Emily Inkpen @emilyinkpen.bsky.social · 5d

Thank you! I appreciate that!!! ♥️

So my day was peppered with interactions with right wingers, where I calmly explained how higher education works, and what hate speech actually is.

I need wine. Also props because I didn’t get upset or rise to their baiting.

Just gonna point out, the woman also thought I was 16 😄 so that should mitigate the insult quite considerably 😅
