A ground-breaking study by a coalition of prestigious academic institutions has concluded that Israel's actions in Gaza since 7 October, 2023, constitute genocide against the Palestinian people. The study, conducted...
I don’t want to make it seems I’m arguing my point. We can agree to disagree, of course. Especially if, for you to be trully satisfied with my answers, it would require me to go in person to those universities and do a field research. I don’t even live in the USA. 😅
“Agree to disagree” is not how it works on facts. If you cannot provide evidence for your statements, do not declare them as “well-known facts.” If they are well-known, you shouldn’t have to do field research.
No, it’s empirical evidence. It’s a well known fact that western universities have a left-leaning bias.
And by extension, a pro-Hamas and/or pro-Palestine bias. This one is supported by the 3 points in my previous comment.
There’s some variation in this. The humanities courses have a higher concentration of left-leaning individuals than other areas. But it might also be explained that the left-leaning are more vocal about their concerns. I know there’s a significant silent population of students that might be right-leaning, but they just aren’t interested in discussing politics in the unniverity: they just want to finish their course with the minimum trouble possible.
Again, just stating things without evidence does not make them true. You said this was a “well-known fact.” If it’s well-known, where’s the evidence? Or was that a lie?
This is just a conversation on the internet. We aren’t here presenting an undergraduate thesis. I try to limit things to empirical evidence and appeal to common experiences between us so I don’t have to make everyone read a huge wall of text. That’s why I said we can just agree to disagree. There’s nothing wrong about it. 👽
Again if it is a “well-known fact,” it should take you no effort whatsoever to provide evidence for it. That’s how “well-known facts” work. It’s a well-known fact that the Earth is round and I can show you evidence with about two seconds of Googling.
You are unable to, which suggests you were lying about it being a “well-known fact.”
Most search results confirm what I said. And remember: this is not an exact science, but a subjective assessment. Certainly there are university students that didn’t notice that bias because their institution was more politically neutral, or said person was not enrolled in humanities courses so the political activism was not very close to their day-to-day lives. But, in general, the bias is real and is only getting more intense as political polarization is on the rise globally.
Ah, so this is all based on faith. Why didn’t you say so?

Sorry, it’s not as “well-known fact” just because you say it is.

Okay, if a Google search will make you believe me, here goes:
Does USA university students and faculty have a left-leaning bias?
Most search results confirm what I said. And remember: this is not an exact science, but a subjective assessment.

I like how you think just providing those search results prove something is a “well-known fact” rather than just something people believe.
Is the problem that you don’t understand the concept of evidence?
