Best literature professor I had in college taught a course on TS Eliot, Ezra Pound, & James Joyce. 100% insight, 100% integrity, 0% politics, 0% signaling. A lost era.https://twitter.com/EPoe187/status/1143818452714569728 …

Meaning, obvs, 0% of the professor's personal politics, not 0% on the authors' politics. Imagine a class in which they're distinct!

Hilarious how many grumpy millennial trolls intentionally misread this tweet.

It's cute that people think professors "kept their politics out of the class" when they *chose the material for the class* and it's even cuter when they think that happened when a professor chose a slate of all white males as those materials, but you keep that faith, honey.

The professor's personal politics were absolutely involved, it was just so subtle you missed it or their personal politics were so aligned with yours that it didn't even register.

Oh you’ve mistrepresented your point in the original tweet. It does make a better sound bite, but it’s also bad-faith rhetoric.

Literally anyone who presents Ezra Pound's or TS Eliot's politics in a neutral light is low-key fash, my friend.

There isn’t one. It’s impossible to neutrally display a piece of political satire

In disciplines where we can’t go “uhhhh in 50000 B.C., people probably did this”, 0% means none without exception. That might be the issue
