How the fuck can you claim to be a PhD student and not know what a “primary source” is lmao.

Well they’ve not finished the PhD have they. Any moron can start a PhD and be too stupid to finish it.

Source: am a moron who started a PhD and hasn’t finished it.

Seems like an OK definition of primary vs. secondary sources (which itself is kind of academic; what you’re really looking for is reliability).

The part to me is “here’s a video of them in Hamas captivity, here’s a still of them dead from a block away, this totally means Hamas killed them (despite an abundance of violence in a tiny area, with a background of indiscriminate Israeli bombing).” Anyone drawing a conclusion about who killed them is working off their priors.

Hey! Give yourself a little credit! Some of us morons would never dream of even attempting a PhD. I think you’re awesome.

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

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 ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
