Yeah, I rest my case.

I’m sorry you and so many others are foolish enough to delude yourselves into thinking that.

I think I’ve been on the internet longer than you, and drama has always applied to any kind of spat between parties.

Look at the youtube channel DramaAlert for countless examples.

valid moral objections

That’s the thing, whether or not they’re valid depends on the person you’re asking.

I personally think this is a load of bullshit and just another instance of slacktivists trying to guilt people into doing their bidding.

Hopefully the leader in question doesn’t change a single thing due to this pressure. He would be a helpless child if he didn’t have the strength to resist this kind of peer pressure from online drama.

The current political climate really is making people be stupid.

Endurance will determine who wins these battles.

Groupthink.

Why do I have to think about market forces and corporate politics just to buy a fucking concert ticket? Can’t we just have a well regulated market that doesn’t constantly treat customers like a resource to be mined?

Because the democrats keep voting against progressives, leaving us with republicans.

In short, it’s the culture we want because most us support the miners.

I was just in a hotel last night and a local band was performing for free.

Can you believe that? I didn’t have to pay anything, I wasn’t even a guest!

But let’s be honest, going to shows for most people is so that they can say they went to the show. It’s part of the culture of consumption and exclusivity where you need to spend money in order to be part of the conversation.

I agree.

Charge concertgoers as much as they’re willing to pay.

but how do you even know what textbook to read?

I’m lazy and I don’t feel like putting more effort into arguing with your other nonsense, but you can just look up what textbooks are used by each institution.

I’m going to ignore you now because you’re not worth my time or energy. I hope you have fun defending how you wasted money on something you could’ve done yourself for free; it’s how you people operate.

What information are professors giving you that you can’t get anywhere else?

everything they teach should come from a source other than the professor.

Oh, please tell me what you learned in history that disproves this statement. I’d love to understand how you came out of those courses thinking you can just take people’s word at face value.

Edit: Look, I get it. Part of “learning history” isn’t even history related at all. It’s learning how to understand the information that you have in the context that it was given. You can’t just assume that because you read something in a history book that it’s automatically true. Hopefully, it opens your eyes to just how little information we can “know” and how difficult it is to obtain even that. (I assume your eyes are already open to this because you took the courses.)

However, none of that requires college in order to learn. It’s honestly something that our parents should be teaching us, because it’s relevant to considerably more than history.

Sorry you had to pay people tens of thousands of dollars over the course of at least 4 years to teach you that after you’ve become a legal adult.

I’m just a brainwashed college educated drone.

Admitting it is the first step. You’re already ahead of some of these other posters.

What information are professors giving you that you can’t get anywhere else?

As far as history is concerned, everything they teach should come from a source other than the professor.

Your history course boils down to them walking you through a textbook. If you can read and comprehend what you’re reading, then the professor is unnecessary.

But hey, you already realized this, right?

It depends on the profession, but for most things people go to college for they can teach themselves.

College ends up being a place where they give you tutorials and walk you through books. If you can do that on your own, why pay thousands of dollars to have someone else hold your hand?

I’ll admit, a lot of you people lack self-discipline so you won’t learn without someone else forcing you to. In that way, college is a lot like rehab. It’s a place for rich people to waste their money because they can’t take responsibility for themselves.

But hey, all those smart people attending college can’t be wrong, right? It’s just not possible?

Imagine how stupid the average idiot would be if it turned out that most people attending college were just partaking in a scam.

Imagine that.

You didn’t need that college to teach you about history.

Part of the indoctrination is convincing people that college is required to be successful and proficient in their field of study. It’s how they can get away with abusing their students in this manner because the young adults don’t have enough world experience to know that college isn’t necessary to learn.

It’s also funny, because the students pay for this abuse. And then, like you, they display symptoms of stockholm syndrome whenever anyone dares to mention that abuse has even occurred. It’s always easier to pretend you haven’t been taken advantage of than to admit you got played.

I’m just now hearing about it, but I believe you.

So many pieces of shit on these forums come here just to shill garbage.

MX Linux had it a few years back, then Garuda, now it looks like omarchy is the distro that “popped up out of nowhere” and magically everyone is talking about it.

We’re going to need a new government to oppose this one.
