i fucking hate liberal artists & writers. i mean, no, i don't really hate them, hatred is perhaps too strong & non-fluid an emotion....but i just experienced my poetry prof. telling us all to think about what's going on in the world (i.e. invasion, genocide, murder) and write about it from the perspective of a disinterested witness.

i cannot make myself sound disinterested, i am not just a witness, and i am not going to turn bloody violence into a completed assignment. fuck you
there's another word for "disinterested witness". it's "fascist". possibly also "bootlicker".
if it was me id do the assignment but make my distaste clear. "i saw a woman get shot and didn't care" is a pretty damning indictment of a person or society. maybe your professor is a cringe lib but i feel like you can get some commentary in there and make your professor feel like an asshole at the same time
ya that's a strange assignment... I wonder if you could flesh out the reason this person is disinterested. Instead of YOU being disinterested i suppose
i ended up writing the poem, and reading it out loud, with my face showing, i wanted him to see i was pissed. unfortunately, this accomplished nothing, he complimented me but i know i didn't actually affect anything, and i learned there is an ex-special forces soldier in this class who did & is everything i was speaking against. and now i feel scared
i resent that i did end up turning this bloody violence into a completed assignment, and i'm so sorry, too, but if i didn't, my grades would be too low, my mother would know, and i would probably be punished. jfc, i gotta get out of here
