  • Now that so many people are getting college and university degrees, the oligarchs want to dismantle the system so that it goes back to only being a privileged few are able to see what is actually happening.

    What’s bizarre is that even with so many degrees, the qons were still mostly getting what they wanted, and even a great deal of people, including not just the rabid right wing, were/are advocating for college as being ONLY a path to getting a job.

    So a whole lot of people seem to come out of college thinking nearly the exact same things they thought going in. Many college graduates still seem unable to do sound critical thinking and many still seem unable to spot glaring logical fallacies that are employed in the everyday. You can enter college being a radical right winger, and sail through college without really having any of that seriously challenged. If it’s only treated like a job training program, that is almost the inevitable result, I guess. This seems especially egregious in areas like engineering, at least in my view.

    And it’s not even just in areas of political thought and philosophy, but somehow you can have people coming out with a bachelors in engineering and yet still be “skeptics” (not really skeptics) about things like climate change and evolution, which is a tragic failure in education. You cannot just kind of wave it away as, “oh, well, their degree was in a soft science so that’s why they are ignorant on this”.


  • Oh they always appropriate the language and people from the other side (after they are gone). In addition to projecting everything they want to do (cancel others, enact a strict political correctness on everything from how those they perceive as enemies behave when a song is played a piece of cloth is present to how consenting adults express their love, etc…), that is.

    They tried to claim that MLK is one of theirs (lol) even as they called him Communist (and far worse, of course, given they are filled to the brim with overt racists).

    They even try to claim Orwell as one of theirs…WTAF? Orwell was a socialist, FFS. You have to be some kind of extreme dumbass or into brazen lying to spout such nonsense, but it turns out the qons are into both things - being incredibly ignorant and/or top-tier lying.

    So when it comes to things like “thought crime” - Marco Rubio has already expressed that he thinks the government has the right to kidnap people they think don’t have the right thoughts.
