  1. Silly pleb. Aristocracy does not replace itself.

  2. If your point of view is that if your options are su*cide or simply some kind of injury that you're better off committing s*icide, then I can't wait for you to actually follow through on the supposed conviction you have.

  3. That's objectively wrong and intentionally dishonest of you.

  11.  @martinmaynard141  you're the exception and the UK's present status shows that. Sorry, because taking you at your word, you ARE the exception. That said, the overwhelming majority of your generation in your country and whites of your generation in my country, did exactly as she stated and should do as she demanded .

  12.  @jannekebrouwers6342  why? I mean, there's no benefit to having white supremacists, misogynists, voting. Now making it illegal is abominable. But the less of them that vote, the better it is for the whole world.

  13.  @jannekebrouwers6342  I've only visited Britain once.. And your country not yet. It's really expensive to get across the Atlantic. Would like to, though.

  14.  @FS-qk5uq  it's not even that. It's just a permanent contrarian troll. It looks at whatever the title of the video is and post something that's basically the opposite. Think of someone whose life was so empty of attention that negative attention is all they live for.

  17. Used the term "virtue signaling" which is 9/10ths of a way to a write off right there. Use accurate words. Fully explain without using dog whistles or shorthands. If you have a particular bias, whether it is a bigotry or merely a preference, explain it. Own it. Have the courage to carry your own convictions in clear language. And for the love of god, try and learn a little bit about relative economics. The thing that makes "well back in my day" arguments so fucking tired Is that we are not back in your day, and things have actually changed. Somebody's who's 20's were in the 90's, and somebody who's 20's were in the 10s and somebody who's 20 s were in the 70s all had extremely different lived experiences financially (and otherwise.)

  18. What you just said is that you did not understand how difficult it is to save money in the United States if you live underneath a certain socioeconomic level. I don't mean this is an insult, unless you've lived here for a while and are pretty familiar with poverty, or even non-uper-middle class life, it can be incredibly easy to lose side of that difficulty amidst all the other wealth in the United States.

  20. Doc, we're (GenX) underrepresented in both politics and business at the highest levels. I'm not sure the numbers I have in front of me are better than what a PhD has access to or found, but what I am seeing argues that you're giving all of Gen X what a small (white, mostly male) minority has. If I'm wrong on this and you have a moment, where should I start looking otherwise?

  29. Oh yes, that very particular kind of passive aggressive guilt shedding that says just because somebody has a good reason for using it, everyone must, and that you cannot possibly critique a system, institutional corporation unless you consider every possible nuance of its use. Gtfo

  33. ​ @TheMntnG some states are better than others, but even if you want to leave, you're grossly and probably intentionally misunderstanding just how difficult it is to leave the country of your origin. I'm not just talking about the United States leaving any country is hard. And the United States definitely does a great job of being a place where you can make enough money to hang on to life but not enough money to save enough to go anywhere else.

  36.  @peterparadis6788    What industry are you a manager in that your position to hire? Because if you are in one, then hire that way. Overwhelmingly, that is not what people are doing. Reducing access to education has never benefited any country in the history of ever. Yeah the situation that has worked most significantly, globally is to increase access to education, while simultaneously increasing access and support for trades education along with childcare and retraining. You are absolutely right that education now leaves the educated with an enormous monetary debt. It is still the most significant single act that can boost someone's earning potential. Until employers change the calculus on that, it's unconscionable to start denying access to it. I mean actually it's kind of uncomfortable didn't I access to education under any circumstances. It's also bad mathematics given the economic impact of having educated population.

  37.  @peterparadis6788  There is no metric by which an educated populace does not benefit the entire society. Providing post-secondary education gratis for the individual citizen, either means adjusted or not, pays a net significant benefit on metrics of direct economic productivity, health care costs, civic involvement, decreased criminality and innovation within the society. The only way those benefits can be massaged out of the numbers is to remove the externalities to a degree that is so gross you would have to call it basic corporate/conservative economics. Those models take any kind of externality that they do not favor and yeet them into the sun, well simultaneously doing everything they can to ignore related drops and cost for healthcare and other areas such as criminality. These aren't opinion driven conclusions, there are literally hundreds of large cadre studies out there from multiple countries producing similar comparative results.

  38.  @peterparadis6788  And it's not just lower crime rates. Someone with a four-year degree of exactly any kind seems to cost less medically over the course of their entire life, to an extent that is absolutely mind-blowing. Seeing as skyrocketing healthcare costs in our inept health care system are some of the biggest societal costs there are, this isn't a small deal. Similarly they save more. Financial responsibility outside of the original investment in education is higher across all degree fields. Also they are slightly More likely to be civicly involved and significantly more likely to vote, and vote across specific group interests. That is to say, it seems that more educated people vote a bit less selfishly.

  42. It never ceases to amaze me, that people like you are so proud to tell the whole internet you're so bad at math, critical thinking and just not being on the Left side of the bell curve in general. Is it a generational, a cultural or a socioeconomic thing? Like why are you so proud, so enthusiastic about letting people know the intersection of how bad your education was and how little you took out of it?

  43. Embrace life as a shut in then. You deserve as much sympathy as you give. 🤷🏽‍♂️

  44. Yeah you're bad at math and proud to be dishonest on top of that.

  45. You're whining about being exposed but you had to come to the comment section and double down on the fact. Drawing even more attention to yourself. This is a gift that keeps on giving.

  50. "You may not have your own jet, but the flight is just as damaging" This statement hates math and chemistry bad enough to qualify as its own particular kind of bigotry. It's like anti-Semitism for numbers and racial hatred for economies of scale. It's a great deal of dumb
