University of Arizona Says They Have No Relationship with Visiting Scholar Who Identifies as a Hippo

A spokesperson for the University of Arizona claimed that they have no ties with a visiting scholar from France who identifies as a hippopotamus.

Florentin Félix Morin, who is listed on the University of Arizona’s website as a visiting scholar, argued in the Journal of Theoretical Humanities that his hippo alter-ego has allowed him to navigate the world free from the constraints that “govern human bodies.”

Of course. That's what the 'identity' movement really is, people who think they should have special rights, beholden to no laws, and you are to be subservient to them like privileged royalty.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Wow, if they could find that impostor, they should hire him.  He is a funny dude (probably morbidly obese, of course).

So, he's a furry.

A hairless one.  But basicly, yes.
