Academia’s primary purpose is to provide “research credibility” for state power, racism, colonialism, and capitalism. The function of knowledge should be to liberate but academia tends to co-opt radical thought by emptying concepts of their political content and praxis orientation.

Just found out Leon Trotsky was one of *those* guys
According to one story, Leon Trotsky was said to have been particularly fond of a Jewish dairy restaurant called Triangle Dairy in the Bronx, whose waiters were Russian emigrés. Trotsky refused to tip after eating as a matter of principle, insisting that "tipping was demeaning to the dignity of a workingman, and that a person should get a regular salary, enough to live on, and not have to depend on tips". For the same reason, he tried to persuade other customers to refuse to tip as well. This led to verbal abuse, poor service, and one incident where waiters intentionally spilled hot soup on him.
