I checked out Reddit yesterday after a long time away. The place has definitely become way less interesting. For one, the main page is just a clone of World Star. Nothing but gutter trash beating the shit out of each and reeeeing. Secondly, they no longer have anyone interesting to talk to or argue with or 'own.' An echo chamber is not fun, even for liberals.
You have to nod to the brainwashing to work in the system. Then start acting to change the system. So many employment options demand at least a four year that it's basically impossible to climb the ladder without one. You'll never be a lawyer or educator without the paper. You'll just be the guy who does the grunt work for them. Trades make society run but they don't control society.
Dumb as it is, cons need college. Sorry to dump on trades (in which I work) but we need con lawyers, politicians, CEOs, journalists, and educators now more than ever. I'm proud of the skills I have but those people with degrees mold society much more than a mechanic, plumber, or welder
The entire campaign is elder abuse. But this corrupt old dirty bastard deserves every ounce of it.
