For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target federated instances' admins or moderators.

This is a common Maoist position. Not even just imperial core Maoists. Maoists from India to the Philippines often say the same thing: academics is petty bourgeois, drop out and do armed revolution / organize an industry.
They have a bit of a point (academia can co-opt you into the greater liberal project) but are mostly just telling their most committed members to be less rich and flexible professionally which seems counterproductive to me.
