Professor: Trump Building Wall Because Mexicans "Can Go [Expletive] Themselves"
The Social Memo ^ | 3/18/17 | Aurelius

Posted on 03/18/2017 1:50:24 PM PDT by rightistight

On his personal blog, Assistant Professor of Humanities at Shimer College Adam Kotsko argued that the real reason behind the "extreme vetting" proposed by President Trump, as well as the reason the President has proposed building a wall between the United States and Mexico, is that "we don’t owe them anything and they can go [expletive] themselves."

Professor Kotsko detailed his beliefs in an article titled, "How will we know it’s over?"

Professor Kotsko "The Trump budget proposal is a nightmare — petty and vindictive, short-sighted and cruel," he begins his piece. "Inexpensive programs that literally save lives are being cut, apparently out of sheer spite."

Kotsko continues, "Why do we need to turn away refugees? The official reason is that they may pose a threat, but surely the real reason is that they are not our problem, so they can go [expletive] themselves."

President Trump's proposed wall between Mexico and the United States is based on similar logic, he writes, stating, "why do we need to build a wall to keep out the Mexicans? Supposedly they’re stealing our jobs, leeching off our public services, and committing crimes. But come on: the real reason is that we don’t owe them anything and they can go [expletive] themselves."

"Any idiot," Kotsko argues, knows that these ideas "will thwart human potential at best and kill people at worst." But Trump supporters, he adds, "will follow him to their death if he lets them hurt the people they hate along the way. The amount of pent up resentment and ugliness he has brought out into the open has already been more corrosive to our frayed social fabric than we can fully grasp."

The professor then says he hopes President Trump's supporters "don’t start publicly saying that the poor, elderly, and disabled should just die if they can’t fend for themselves."

If they do, he warns, this "is no longer a society. It’s a death camp waiting to happen."

Whatta snowflake. Here’s his lefty battlecry:

I’m a little teapot short and stout.
Here is my handle.
Here is my spout.
When I get all steamed up,
Hear me shout!
Just tip me over
And pour me out

Adam Kotsko - If all white people should commit suicide, let it begin with YOU!

And somehow they managed to get themselves affiliated to some degree with the much-more-prestigious Illinois Institute of Technology a few years ago....

The “moron” I referred to was the idiot professor;since he is obviously white I couldn’t help but wonder if he included himself as a beneficiary of slavery as well.
