Oppobrium? Latifundium? Bellicose? Effete? Really? What the fuck is wrong with these people. These words are like paragraphs apart

inside me are two wolves

one says just look up the words its not that hard and you might learn something

the other one says academics are deliriously gatekeeping and inflating their science to make it seem more than it really is
