"Fredo Corleone was passed over for a tenured Godfather position. He was replaced by someone who went to an inferior school."

Fredo: "I'm the more senior lateral, and I was stepped over! I'm smart and I want respect!”

FASORP is apparently a big fan of hiring based upon the rank of the school which the candidate graduated. That's not a coincidence. Schools that keep engaging in that practice need to ask themselves what they are perpetuating. Maybe do some soul-searching. Hopefully.

FASORP press release: "To remedy the grave harms to the white race by not hiring 100% white people, Northwestern Law should be compelled to hire genetically superior ubermich John Eastman to promote intellectual diversity.

Or at least a prof who says racial epithets."

"There is no charge to become a member of FASORP, and your membership will expand the range of universities that FASORP can target for lawsuits." so - they are fishing for people that will give them standing to file lawsuits in sympathetic courts?

If you haven't been to FASORP's webpage, it's quite clear its mission is to disrupt faculty hiring processes and law reviews for the purpose of making academia whiter than it already is. There are many organizations like this designed to torture Black and Brown academics.

Complaint against Northwestern:

"Northwestern Law chose not to hire intellectually superior white men and instead chose mediocre minorities."

"We, aggrieved white males, again demonstrate our intellectual superiority via this ridiculous complaint..."

It's incredibly disturbing how little attention the media is paying to an insurgency that will lead to a permanent seizure of power. It's all right in the open, FFS.

Yeah it’s not like we’ll see a repeat of 1968, when the Democrats downshifted to a Vice President at a convention in Chicago that was plagued by protests against the party’s support for an unpopular foreign war and wound up creating an opening for a candidate they’d beat before. Totally different!

Been rereading St. Joan of the Stockyards after the debate. If you haven't read it: It presents a dilemma about whether to help a system persevere to mitigate suffering, but in doing so perpetuate the system, or to stop mitigating suffering in hopes the system ends faster.
