This University is sounding pretty sketchy; requires phone apps, pressing bullying charges because of phone hearsay, now this.
I know you want to succeed in university and probably for good reasons, but if you don't comply with their marxist agenda you will be excised. That's the message.
Nah, I'm not at Monash. Or in Victoria. My cousin is doing her PhD at Monash, but I'm somewhere else entirely.
So the first things you mention apply, but these articles don't. Not yet...
But otherwise yes.
*Harassment, not bullying. Much worse, in "Current Year"...
They emailed me about that today, actually. I'm on "break", which I am working through, but fuck them. There's no way they are getting a response from me on study break, about that.
So I ignored it. But also yeah. That's how bad this is... So you're not wrong, lol.
“When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’
’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’

"And perhaps you might pretend, afterwards, that it was only a trick and that you just said it to make them stop and didn’t really mean it. But that isn’t true. At the time when it happens you do mean it. You think there’s no other way of saving yourself and you’re quite ready to save yourself that way. You want it to happen to the other person. You don’t give a damn what they suffer. All you care about is yourself."

“Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
https://archive.is/2JAyW - that's the article about the compulsory woke courses and the e-learning lockout...
This shit is at all Vic universities now. They used Covid to push everything online, BLM to push this racially divisive "woke" shit, and now look where we are...
It means you have to brownnose the Indigenous Australians and pretend you owe the prehistoric hunter-gatherers anything when you're the only reason their descendants aren't still digging up grubs with a pointy stick.
It's become a sort of secular "Lord's prayer". But it's become so ubiquitous, and so all-encompassing, in the last year or so, that you almost cannot access a website, or do work, or attend a meeting, or travel, without it being shoved in your face...
And now they're using it as a sort of mandatory "loyalty test", wherein if you don't do the grovel, or complain about it in any way, or aren't sufficiently obsequious, you can lose your job, or, as in the articles here, can be barred from graduating, or accessing your courses...
It's happened scarily quickly.
A "pledge of allegiance to the party", if you will, but it's rapidly moved from an occasional thing, at major events and at woke organisations, to everywhere, all the time, and compulsory...
Land acknowledgements are where powerful, untouchable people declare that white peasants have no right to live on the land on which they were born, in the nations that their ancestors built. Instead, it's a crime, carrying with it all the unspoken implications of that crime. Simply put, they want to delegitimize white people's existence.
Part of this is, I hope, because the media are lying Progressive scum and prevent the public from knowing what's happening. If the Internet were ever freed, the public would know the truth and crush the Rainbow religion like the disease it is.
Universities are already leftist shitholes but this takes it to another level. This is what happens when feminism is accepted as sane and normal by society. Ridiculous non-sequiter subjects get injected into formerly rational and logic based courses.
I would not want an engineer graduating from these courses to build anything nor I think they can build anything. It will be that feminist designed collapsed bridge all over again.

This is almost too easy:

Etc.

One more particularly creepy bit:

Literal enforced ideological conformity. Blatantly so. Insane...
Guess I'm never graduating, if this comes to my Uni, lololol...
I'm not going to write an Acknowledgement of Country, or be forced to do one. Not even to pass. That's just evil.
I didn't think we were living in the USSR, but there you go...
What's that mean, you acknowledge you live in Australia?
It means you have to brownnose the Indigenous Australians and pretend you owe the prehistoric hunter-gatherers anything when you're the only reason their descendants aren't still digging up grubs with a pointy stick.
What the other guy said, essentially.

Same as land acknowledgements in Canada...

This doesn't end well, IMHO.
If you can't run from it, you can spare yourself the humiliation by using chatGPT to write it, I suppose

Amazing how normies just let this happen...
And now here we are.

The sooner you realize that you live in Mao China / Soviet Union 2.0, the better.

If they pull stuff like this at your university, bite your tongue and get through it. You're there for that stupid piece of paper they give you.
I’ll be completely honest, dude - I don’t think I’ll be around for this to affect me.
In a word, I’m not going to get through this degree. Hell, I doubt that I’ll get through the year…
I’m barely hanging on as it is.
And that’s… Well, it’s not “ok”, but it is what it is.
So it’ll come to my Uni, almost undoubtedly. But I doubt I’ll be around to see it.
Some of us just don’t make it. That’s… Just reality.
But I’m still here. For now…
