It was child murder in the games. But if you can't handle child rapists being discussed, libertarians and video game fans are not for you.

I met quite a few poli-sci people on the campaign that unironically believed the joke about "The more stuff the government does the more socialist it is". The best though was the girl with a poli-sci masters from Georgetown who thought capitalism was invented by the founding fathers

As far as I can tell what cripples poli-sci from being a worthwhile study is the (now this might vary school to school) lack of history and look at it to much as this thing that exists in a vacuum. A lot of them came off as basically being "a fan of politics" like one would be a fan of a show.

My brother minored in polisci and from what I could tell it's just a lot of horse race study.

International Relations is polisci, and I took an introductory course on it since it related to my History major. The international stuff was informative because it dealt with a lot of international law, and why it's so easy for some countries to just regularly ignore it.

american political science had to explain everything in terms of norms and traditions because they had to figure out how to explain why things were the way they were while avoiding any explanation that edges close to saying that politics is controlled by the rich, and then trump blew up all that bullshit about norms like it was an 8-year-old american girl

i have an undergrad political science degree and i think a lot of the problem that they teach you so little is because the conservative though-policing has largely succeded in scaring professors away from doing any actual analysis in the classroom. so you are only going to get boring facts, or discussions and comparisons stripped of any social or political context such that they contain no meaning and have no explanatory power. this has a perverse consequence of making people think that knowing all the implementation details of some bill is scholarship

there are some classes like international relations as another poster mentioned where the obvious just happens to not be taboo to say (eg the US and other rich countries are above the law, and wrote the rules of postwar order such that they would be above the law) and then you can actually teach something

If theres one thing that I think we can all agree on when talking about the appalling conditions of sex work, is that sex workers are biased and should be ignored
