Ucy-Yes. Academia is a cult full of people who drink the kool-aid with rosary peas floating on the top and are going for seconds.
so did you break the bonds of academia ? academia may not be for everyone.
Academia is also 100% unprofessional. Since they are so unprofessional, they scare the crap out of everyone and they try very hard to convince that the degrees that they sell people are absolute trash. And since they are in a cult, they are not willing to change their views on anything nor are the willing to admit to how desperately wrong they are when they act so unprofessionally and promote violence. I do not think that they get that by refusing to promote violence, the only thing they are doing is compelling people like me to call them out even more.
if this is really you then that's amazing.
