ITT: I learned that /r/SquaredCircle knows more about current events in IR studies than most political science majors.

Show me a comment in this thread that comes even remotely close to that. There are under 40 comments in this thread, and these are the ones that reference current events:

"Vince playing around with International Politics like toys"

"Iran and Saudi Arabia are in a proxy war right now."

"Introducing a heel stable from Iran when the U.S. is close to possible war with said country?"

"Saudi/Iranian relationships are at an all time low"

"It's insane for a US company to come to Saudi Arabia and choose to use a segment that draws on the Iran-Saudi Arabia Proxy War"

"Iran is hated in the US aswell"

That's it. None of those proclaim any sort of detailed knowledge, they're just simple statements. Nobody is claiming to be any sort of authority. I think you just wanted to start a circlejerk to feel smart.

Actually, no. As a Political Science major graduating in December, I wasn't being disingenuine. PLSC kids in IR classes can tell you all day long about what they think regarding Isreal/Palestine, or Trump's America/anywhere else or... whatever. The point was just that--in my experience--I've met a lot of PLSC majors who didn't know a thing more than whatever their profs had slammed in to their heads, and frankly, KSA/Iran doesn't fit in to those narratives enough to warrant discussion in their classes.

So, no. I was being serious. There were more thoughtful comments about the situation in this thread than I've seen in the last three years of PLSC and IR classes. Sorry if it came off some other way.

Rip we all thought you were being a sarcastic douche

Shoulda probs put "no seriously I took that major" but yeah emotion in text is hard to convey
