It's not surprising. Judging from my experiences in talking to (and breaking their minds) BernieBros, they either tend to be gigantic pieces of shit angry that they "have no choice but to work to live" (in a dead-end retail job because they have no qualifications for a better job or are too lazy to look for another profession) or naive teenage boys who are addicted to Reddit, are "atheist" because they think that makes them automatically smarter than their "not-hip" parents and are rebelling against a religious upbringing, usually substituting consumerism in place of it (cough cough OH BOY I LOVE MARVEL EXCEPT I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THEM BEFORE 2012/2008/2000).

I watched some video of nonbinary xirs talking about how they are oppressed, and every single one of them was just butthurt their parents were very religious. And now they are taking it out on all of society.

Emotionally-stunted overgrown children who spend a lifetime being pissed off at Mommy and Daddy make up a disproportionate percentage of the American left.

tbh because of all the other issues its hard for me to press a point that the qualification system does in fact have problems and overlooks potentially qualified individuals because of bad weed-out mechanisms that do serve to make employee selection easier on companies but end up unintentionally becoming somewhat classist.

yes we do have financial aid, as well as state universities -- but these places can end up getting you into a locked state where you can't continue anymore because of how credits transfer between universities under a certain level (say you get 3 associates in one state uni, now you can never a bachelors anywhere else barred from all college unless you become filthy rich through crime to just pay the university bills from scratch, starting from year 0 even if your 40 years old and have all the credits already anyway. they dont count no more -- and financial aid disappears because "you already took the class even though it doesnt count")

so there are in fact terrible problems, the people who obtained qualifications arent the best (ive been openly challenging the greatest legends on earth to a battle of wits myself, nobody takes me serious enough to accept the challenge) and that there is TONS of latent talent and opportunity thrown right down the garbage.

fixing this situation, and fixing the people's view of communism still requires one concession from everyone else -- competition for their own position in society whether they view it as fair or not. it can be brutal and heavily capitalistic, but internal protectionism of the fields itself must die out.

if a man has all prerequisite, degree in hand or not, they are qualified. it doesnt matter if they learned from a library, the internet or a college. if they have all the same answers at an equal competency level they are equal. in fact if they learned it without school -- they arent equal, they are BETTER/SUPERIOR.

in most other respects im on your side. i also disagree with the left's solutions because we are not all equal however, there are elites hidden among the failures because of failings in the system. it generally leads those kind of people into becoming high-level criminals and the like instead of beneficially participating in society, which they easily could if selected in rather than out.

tbh in a way i cant blame them for being supercriminals, robbing the companies which refuse to acknowledge them. they couldve hired them instead.

nobody believes it though. im just locked out and when I try and explain that im pretty much screwed nobody wants to have it.

personally i get worked up about it because it personally impacts me severely. I really am going to either get hired for full pay in the field without credentials, find a way (probably involving crime to fund it initially) to skip past go and start my own business as all the employees to compete against everyone alone,

or alternatively, end up as one of those people "outside" the field offering my services illicitly straight to the consumer at my own risk.

I dont care. Im doomed anyway, my life doesnt matter. nothing does.

nothing about what im saying is actually a socialist solution btw, I just say im effing going to compete whether its legal or not, whether i get shot or not, and that Im also going to continuously campaign to destroy and replace the education system until the day I die.

this really is the hill im going to die on.

another thing going along with this -- why isnt illegal experience or unofficial experience considered experience?

i know everything there is to know about making extracts and growing plants -- why cant I just go to a legal state, no official sanctions, and just say "I know how to grow this" and if nobody gets hurt, i suffer no legal problems and compete in business?

why does it have to be controlled by certain people's cronies and certain 'accreditation pathways'

why is not, "ive done this for 30 years legal or not in another place" considered qualification until someone proves they are incompetent?

Because tbh they probably arent. especially in industries they ran for 100 years just fine before changes in law.

Knowing the answers and how to get to them is all that matters, doesnt matter how or where you learned it or even why. or who taught you either.

the real test is life, and only losers stand to benefit from not allowing people to take the real test because of supposed success indicators saying most of the time they cannot succeed.

What if you are the .01%? then it matters to you because you CAN succeed despite all that effort in trying to smooth it out for the other 99.9

and if your wondering why you might have 3 degrees, its because colleges LIE TO YOU to fill seats. you'll enroll and ask about transfers "yes you can!" graduation day comes "no you cant!"

If all of this is your idea of a functional weed-out system I actually want real war with you. the battlefield is equivalent real life -- with the rules firmly out, I can do whatever I am capable with no limitations.

Nobody really wants that, but in the end Idk if it will ever get fixed without it. you would never openly help someone who wants to compete with you over your own job and life do so. especially when that person also wants devalue wages and take away a core component of the selection system that got you where you are.

unfortunately the brainwashed pinkos are being used and dont realize the real problems in society or how to fix them. because theyre just straight failures, not people mis-selected out of the system.

its not my concern how many jobs there actually are mind you -- if theres only 10 let it be a bloody chaotic battle for supremacy among a million people for those 10 jobs and let the losers accept their place in society doing something else. dont control it another way which is inherently more evil. as long as everyone and anyone is welcome to join the battle and there are no controls in place to determine the winners, im perfectly fine with that.
