    Found a link to the thesis.

    So far it requires a spellcheck, a grammar check, An entire paragraph spends way too long setting a premise and then an example that does nothing to its premise. His entire intro was a ramble that confuses me to what the hell this was supposed to be a thesis about.

    Like there’s a single line that says this essay is about “a set of right-wing intellectuals who have come to be labeled the “Conservative Revolutionaries.”” It took you 2 and a half pages to communicate that to the reader, but I still have no idea

    • Why should I care about this group?
    • Why do you care about this group?
    • “Who have come to be labeled” implies this label has come recently. This was a group from WWII. Why can’t you just say called?

    He then moves into those questions, briefly, again with just galling grammar scattered around. Acceptable in a first draft but certainly NOT a final.

    I had to stop reading about a quarter of the way in. It just reeks of padding. I’m not surprised it’s plagiarized, it’s entirely quotes and trombone speak.
    What the hell did he get as a grade? Even if it wasn’t plagiarized it couldn’t have been a C.

      Reading the first page is like, “SAY FREIDRICH ONE MORE TIME, MOTHERFUCKER!” Or, you know, Friedrich, because that’s how it’s spelled, you stupid asshat. Reeks of padding indeed - this man really used Nietzsche’s first name 48 times just to add to the word count like no teacher has ever seen that before.

      The intro was painful to read. It’s so blatantly obvious which parts were written by him and which parts were plagiarized (because they were actually well written).
