From the final exam in the second section:
“Spanish Civil War was an armed conflict between the Republicans and the Liberals.”
You have no idea how many times, how many fucking times during the semester I explained this shit. This student deserves to be failed just for this atrocity.
Haha! Unbelievable and hilarious. The swearing accompanied with this post made this even funnier for me. Student incompetence fascinates me.
Thanks for the amazing advice you gave me the other day. It’s pretty obvious my family is trying to use me as a means to gain more money for themselves and that I have to step up and be the real adult in this situation. In fact, I need to get out of the house as soon as possible before they find other ways to influence me to contribute to their financial problems in which I have no real business in intervening with. I had a talk with Captain Captialism about this today and he even suggested the possiblity that there’s really nothing truly wrong with me at all in the first place and that the schools, teachers, etc. were trying to pin/exaggerate the autism condition on me so they could get more money. I’m questioning how much of my own personality traits and tendencies are really due to autism since I took one of the Aspie quizzes you have linked on your website and got a mainly neurotypical result.

– I think that this is something that should definitely be considered as a strong possibility. Of course, only you can know and decide how you feel about this but I think it’s good that you are open to analyzing this possibility. Often, behaviors get diagnozed, pathologized and medicalized because some people find that convenient. In my opinion, the autism label only makes sense as long as the individual himself believes that it benefits his understanding of himself.

– Again, this is the decision only you can make but my life experience tells me that it is the best possible one.

Don’t tell me the student has read that sh*tpile of propaganda, Liberal Fascism.

I never heard of it (is it a book?) but the title sounds quite deranged.

It is a book. RationalWiki article. And it’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like.

Clarissa, apparently the book sounds like a load of cobblers. Here’s a libertarian review of Liberal Fascism. I haven’t read it myself nor do I plan on doing so.
