the bill of rights nowadays is null and void unless you have enough money and time to contest violations after the fact all the way up to the supreme court when's the last time the 4th amendment stopped a cop from doing whatever he wanted to you?

Fat-Lip-Sum-41.mp3 posted:possible and will absolutely be the case in China, where there is no bill of rights. All nationalities in the People's Republic of China are equal. The state protects the lawful rights and interests of the minority nationalities and upholds and develops a relationship of equality, unity and mutual assistance among all of China's nationalities. Discrimination against and oppression of any nationality are prohibited; any act which undermines the unity of the nationalities or instigates division is prohibited. yeah doesnt really make a difference

The “unions violate my corporation’s closely held religious beliefs” case is working its way up the courts as we speak.

They can even be expected to literally teach classes when the actual professor can't be arsed to bother. Source: My wife was a TA while getting her Master's degree, and being forced to teach classes when he wanted free days off was the smallest employment violation on the professor's part.

Fair enough, no one does well in academia other than the most senior tenured professors, who essentially form a mini capitalist class. Worth noting that the greatest labor violation against my wife was secretly stealing the grant money she earned and paying her through a shady chain of slush funds that started with the Mubarak administration in Egypt. Only found this out because her professor tried to stop paying her after the 2011 revolution and he was forced to admit where the money was coming from. She... didn't stick around long after that. Academia is a loving nightmare, yo.

The important thing here is that the third amendment, that cornerstone of a healthy democracy, is alive and well. I, for one, have never had an Army regiment show up and demand to be put up for the night in my guest room. Let freedom ring!

The corporation can't even show up to church on Christmas and/or Easter, but they still want to claim they're religious?  I'd love to see their CEO read Matthew 19:24 aloud, in front of their workers, without a shred of irony and keeping a straight face. Bonus points if they didn't know what the verse was about beforehand and go into it cold.

Agean90 posted:pretty much all major college admins and trustee boards need to be executed ironically i just started my first real post-college job as part of the bloated collegiate administrative staff. it's staggering how many loving people are here performing various intercessory and secondary roles. there are even representatives here, full time, from the private company that contracts us some of our software. i've been in this same university in some capacity or another - working at the library shelving books as a high schooler, an undergrad student, a grad student, and now as a white collar drone - and its incredible how things have shifted over the last decade. it just keeps growing like some huge useless cancerous mass because all the growth is garbage. like, they spent millions on an art museum that won't be used for student art, more millions on a special basketball training center, big pay raises for administration while tripling down on loving over non-full professor staff. also they want me to pay $85 a month just to have access to a non-guaranteed parking spot. it's more expensive for employees than students and more expensive for adjuncts than employees. really high level employees get special spots and pay basically nothing.

Agean90 posted:pretty much all major college admins and trustee boards need to be executed I think there's a good reason why the schools have been fighting attempts by students to unionize, whether it's college athletes trying to start a players union or grad students trying to improve their condition. Admins and trustee boards really profit off the free labor provided by students, "It's part of the experience!"

one of the writers i spent the most time studying in grad school left academia in the early 70s after finishing his doctorate and getting absolutely hosed over as an adjunct professor. as he developed his own pretty distinctive Marxist-adjacent anti-Liberal philosophy of revolution, his contempt for the professoriate that he felt personally helped inspire what i think was a pretty realistic evaluation of the academic class. he had a sort of secondary class categorization very similar to the notion of the professional-managerial class but he also specifically felt that professors and administrators in western universities were extremely dangerous because they constituted an outlet for false consciousness disguised as revolutionary thought. basically, in his conception, the various people involved in academia are prosperous and culturally normative enough to generally regard the existing socioeconomic status quo as merely in need of some tweaking, by and large, because it benefits them. simultaneously, though, they're also the group responsible for promulgating and refining specific ideas re: the nature of this kind of tweaking and reform - so they evangelize fundamentally Liberal ideas under the guise of being authentically interested in large-scale social change. dude's writing just burned with contempt for professors who he felt were too small-minded and myopic to imagine a genuinely improved world. he also had a major beef with positivism and the enlightenment and kind of blamed the whole structure on the ideas that emerged in the late eighteenth century i'm partially inclined to agree with him, i've never met a college professor with actual communist beliefs, just a bunch of tepid social democrats and left-liberals.

Shear Modulus posted:the roberts court has annulled the 1st, 4th, and 7th amendments The 3rd amendment has basically never been enforced, and there have been some pretty direct violations that imply it never will. I think the current interpretation on the 6th and 8th amendments is that it doesn't count if it's not on American soil, hence Guantanamo. Of course, this isn't fast enough for some people, so there's also pretty big movements to establish an underclass of unpersons who de facto legally have no access to any human rights protections. That's the non-genocide reason for draconian enforcement against illegal immigrants. Despite all this, it's still far better than China's deal of no rights, unfettered oppression, zero accountability for anything ever, and mass suppression of information. Our current system's not great, but we can do much worse.
