All the white male "humanities" academics I know (in anglosphere/EU) act like battered spouses. Their life is a non-stop struggle session where they have to repeat how awful they are and how much they hate others that are like themselves, how much they deserve to be discriminated against, how the people who benefit from that very good discrimination, who basically get promoted and hired without any quality control whatsoever, are inherently better than them.

yes, sadly because humanities exist at such scale and even the STEM related ones produce very little industrial value (computer science academia is a joke in the real tech world)
it's a make-work program for women and unemployable males who like to read, and the only requirement is spending half your time doing nothing while you constantly worry about the need to put out a paper to keep up appearances that it's a real profession, plus occasionally teaching

Very early Shakespeare criticism used to be written (I'm talking, like, early 18th century Lewis Theobald) by whoever was interested enough, and success was determined by whom the public believed to best 'get it'. De Quincey wrote a whole essay on the mysterious knocking sound early in Macbeth. It's a good essay, because he talks about something simple, and tries to just understand what it means.
Now Shakespeare criticism is written by people who read the Spark Notes, and it's written for literally nobody to read. They write entire essays about why Falstaff was actually always a transfat who uses humor to dissemble xer MAP kink, and how this is proof that Shakespeare was neurodivergent. 'Your thesis must be original' has been a disaster for the humanities and humanity.
Don't forget to turn off signatures in settings!

It is somewhat r-slurred to have to somehow prove something completely original when there's really only so many ways you can somehow twist a work's meaning any which way without your argument losing all relevancy to the real world.

How long before all the goodwill the university system has gets burnt through? In my short adult lifetime I've already seen them burn through half of it. Subjects like Film are already life ruining tier if you're stupid enough to waste tens of thousands of dollars studying it. The rest of the humanities seem to be following suit.

I write software for money and, while I've read some horror stories about this kind of shit going on in tech, I've never actually seen it at any of the places I've worked (to be fair, the horror stories seem to mostly come from FAANG-scale companies and I've never worked for one). Most of my coworkers have either been apathetic about politics, or seemed to have pretty moderate views, or if they were wokes they just didn't sperg out about their wokeshit. Of course I still try to be careful about discussing any really touchy subjects, but it still seems a lot better than this academia shit. Although I wouldn't know, I have zero experience in academia from any point after I got my BA in smoking weed and writing papers the night before they were due (I did humanities in college, didn't get into tech shit until a few years later).
I do remember that back when I was in college I already found laughable and strange the whole genre of "critical theory" writing where everything is like "the intersection of the discourse about post-colonial hegemonic paradigms with a contemporary analysis of neo-liberal norming of queer theory blah blah blah".

Stage 1: Diversity training. Maybe everyone walks out thinking pfft what a load of rubbish, but now they know the rules.
Stage 2: A DEJI commitee gets looped in on every stage of the hiring/promotion process. In a neat trick, this is officially done to avoid bias. Usually with formal powers like a veto over final hiring decisions, or managers have to justify hiring a "nondiverse" candidate when there was a qualified "diverse" candidate available (all definitions subject to the whims of the DEJI committee).
Stage 3: Managers know choosing yt/azn moids will cause drama, so they opt for the easy route. Kinda like how most people obey the police without being forced, because they know they theoretically could be forced, and is it worth the effort?
Stage 4: Every promotion is "diverse", new hires are overwhelmingly "diverse". Everyone knows what's happening, but there's no smoking gun to whistleblow over.

Even in the Soviet Union or Maoist China, they often dialed back the presence of political commissars for industries related to national security or science, and Operation Paperclip let literal nazis off the hook for warcrimes. Once you punch above a certain level you're immune to political garbage, and if you're
doing pleb work they don't really bother you either. Stupid people are naturally chuddy, so in r-slur industries you often find /pol/speak being open.
But anyone in between suffers from it in various amounts. With the upper middle class always bearing the brunt.

That plus tech is mostly a male industry and the only place that has lots of women, BIPOC, and HR in STEM are the big corporations, government, and academia. And inside those a lot of divisions are just all asian or indian so it's a mix. It's mostly white people doing it to themselves.
