MIT is deep in bed with the MIC. Their administration is not friendly towards Arabs unless those Arabs have a line of credit with Boeing or Raytheon.
Whats the MIC?
Military industrial complex
I usually don’t see it in acronym form.

Edit: No idea how explaining the definition of the acronym "MIC" got 3 downvotes. Real reddit-tier energy on this thread.
Lemmy usually has 1 to 5 bots randomly downvoting, its normal.
Sometime something totally apolitical like cat photos also get random 1-5 downvotes.
Weird
Presumably because you're 10min behind the others, and you posted a raw wiki link. I assume those 3 people got a "just fucking google it" vibe from it.
Atleast what my reddit PTSD tells me it could be.
Downvoted for complaining about downvotes. The internet points do nothing. Everyone please downvote me so I can demonstrate how little it matters.

Downvoted cause why not? The points don't matter.
Two negatives make a positive so here's your upvote.
yeah we dont even count our totals here. I do kind of miss having a total, but I dont miss reddit. I downvoted you, feel free to downvote me back and have yourself a nice day too.
