    The alleged severity of climate change is a capitalist sham designed to enslave the working class and regress back into feudalism.

    If it were really as bad as they claim, the elites wouldn’t be spending millions of dollars on beachfront houses. That alone blows apart all of their credibility.

    Like 99% of generational conflict these days is the pressure of the young wanting this country to do the work to live up to the propoganda we were fed growing up instead of just believing it out of hand.

    Same for 99% of why religious faith is in decline in the US.

    I have received different words of encouragement and reason to study since I came from a poor country: “study that so you don’t end up poor.”

    Now, those words are true but is one-sidedly blind because it plants the idea that education only exists as means to earn better money, instead of teaching that its true intention is to broaden the person’s knowledge and mind. Many college-educated people I know are still superstitious and religious, and don’t apply what they learned into their everyday lives. They only view education as something more of a hurdle barring their way to earning money, and throw what was taught to them unless they are at work.

    It is not necessarily the fault of people though, the education system outside of the West is heavy on rote-learning, emphasis on discipline and order and following authority. There is less focus on critical thinking. Particularly in East Asia, the education system is cutthroat and very much similar to the Prussian education system-- which is designed to condition students to become future good workers for businesses, and less so as thinking and free individuals.

    That’s why they now say don’t go to college, it’s all bullshit. They’ve learned… but the wrong lesson.

    Wow! Look at you pushing propaganda for Big Earth. They are just trying to get you to buy more lifespan! We all die, so why not die in a coal rolling F-150, like God intended.

      Very likely not a diesel if it’s an F150. Generally those are F250’s and up. Or, more likely Rams and Silverados.

      There was actually a pretty good span there where you couldn’t even get an F-150 that was a diesel.

      But, I think your point is still valid. No one seems to give a shit enough to sacrifice their big truck fantasies.

        As a sidenote, diesel is not necessarily bad; a properly tuned diesel vehicle with a DEF system will have lower emissions than the same vehicle with a gasoline engine.

        Of course, coal rollers deliberately don’t have their engine tuned properly

    I’ve offered people links to the PDF versions of the textbooks so they can point out the wokeism and tell me how much time a full course on biochemistry leaves for discussing the dismantling of the patriarchy. Nobody has gotten back to me on that.

      May I suggest you add “the core economy 1.0” to your list of “read and think about what you’ve done” list. Free ebook used in 1st year econ.

      you cant argue with them like theyre people, you gotta trick em like toddlers

      use their own game, tell them its a good thing theyve never learned any of this stuff because they couldnt handle the truth

      make a few bot accounts to follow then around on social media, dropping super vague but ominous statements about biochem:

      “you think thats scary, you should see what chromosomes ACTUALLY do.”

      “yeah Joe Biden is nuts right? haha almost as nuts as how there’s a 1 in 600 chance that you were not born a male but dont know”

    Sure, if you make an imaginary person who pushes their kid to college while also not trusting the institution.

      My mom made me start saving for college when I was in elementary school, taking anything I got from gifts and chores to put into my college fund. I mowed lawns before I was legally able to work, then got a job as soon as I was able, all to continue padding my fund. I got my bachelor’s then my master’s in biology. My mom died a few months ago because she didn’t believe me or the doctors that her holistic medicine herbal teas wouldn’t cure her cancer.
