political science degree

Imagine boasting about having a degree in modern-day phrenology.

You see, this graph shows the Slavic brainpan cannot comprehend liberal institutions …

you have someone with a political science degree and a minor in econ

Not even trying to dunk, just realize that this is not impressive, and certainly not authoritative. When someone questions your expertise the two acceptable responses are:

  1. Yes, I am an actual expert, with extensive schooling and/or relevant work experience.
  2. I’m not claiming to be an expert, but here’s where I’m getting my information, where are you getting yours?

You claim to know something about Marx, ok let’s test that knowledge of yours with the simplest possible question

According to Marx what are the sources of capitalist profit?

Nah you have someone with a political science degree and a minor in econ. I have talked to many people who seem to have no formal education in the listed fields and refer back to things like breadtube as a valid source.

So the two most “priesthood class of capital” useless degrees lol.

Read Capital, the economics you’ve learned still haven’t grappled with it successfully.

Edit: you claim to have read Marx. Please, tell me how automation connects to the tendency of the rate of profit to drop according to Marx. It’s one of the core parts of his analysis so it should be easy to remember.

This is extra funny because explaining how neoclassical economics is a religion rather than any form of scientific or even material system is a common criticism made by Anthropologists.

But anthropology doesn’t have the nice graphics and the math that doesn’t really have any empirical data behind it, anthropology isn’t a real science unlike neoclassical economics!

The DPRK is socialist and not a hereditary autocracy. It has been the consistent direction of the head of the executive branch to diffuse authority to other offices, but nearly everything you have ever heard about this country was a lie.

It literally has handed power down from father to son twice.

It has had sons win elections and then hold the office twice. We can call it dynastic in a sense similar to US political dynasties, but that’s different from being literally hereditary.

As the citizens cannot advocate for a change in leaders, a change in direction of the party or an entirely new political system

He’s got a MINOR in economics! And he’s here to tell us all about how beautiful and elegant the math is. You can’t really appreciate it unless you step into the rarified air surrounding an econometrics professor, you would understand if you ever tried it.

poli sci is literally nothing. I have a background in social and hard science, from either point of view it’s bullshit.

The only field more embarrassing than PoliSci is arguably EvoPsych, with the caveat that most academics don’t consider EvoPscyh to be a real field.
