Planning on going back to school purely for fun in a few years. I would love to study math/CS/physics/eng but that’s out of the question because I hate the people that usually study that

Biology or chemistry seems cool too but the pre-med students are always annoying too, and the grad students too sometimes if they have grandious ideals about curing cancer or becoming a neuroscientist or something

So I’m considering humanities maybe, but maybe one that does not have lots of liberal vibes though like English, sociology, psychology, etc.

    I’m in Europe, but maybe social work? I met some really cool people who studied that. In my experience, they tend to all be left leaning and have really impressive social skills, though I know there are also some hardcore libs who really bought into the ideology.

    If you want real marxists, there are some in geography. It’s because of the big picture view, that let’s you see contradictions. And people like David Harvey taught some of the field to read Marx.

    I think there are annoying people everywhere and yes, some fields have more than others, but there are also cool people everywhere. Just find them and stick to them (wish I had followed that advice more myself). If you find just two friends (and have the means), you can have fun studying whatever your want.

    Look for international students from countries outside the imperial core. They have less propaganda to unlearn and have material incentive to be anti imperialist. Some might be from rich comprador families, but even then, they are quicker to move left, then white libs.
