Your life is a meme and you have forgotten how to communicate without them.

You know nothing about me. Why are you raving like a lunatic?

No, and just writing pithy things doesn't make them true.

You've gotten mad about the gender thing now in our short correspondence. I think you are just looking for a fight.

assuming my gender

I don't know what group of "shitbags" you're referring to but you sound like an angry old man.

Access to higher education wasn't an issue before all these laws were put into place. People didn't "need" a college degree like they do now. The whole policy from it's inception was not necessary. Now college is basically a ticket to the bureaucratic white collar world that produces nothing. (e.g. bullshit jobs)

For you maybe, for me that's fighting words.

Then you are the source of most of your frustration.

You think shit's bad for you now?

I didnt say anything about anything.

If you're brave enough come to my sub and reply to what I'm about to post.

Lol okay tough guy.

Chillout this is a meme thread. No one is talking shit about Boomers, Gen X, Millenials or Zoomers. It's a comically inoffensive meme.

I have a media server that I use and if I'm going to watch something I think that's the only way to go. With things being the way they are though I'm starting to think that we should just return to books. The "content" industry is just a gambit to extract money from people while turning their brains off.

If student loans were treated as normal loans (e.g. not guaranteed and absolvable via bankruptcy) we'd have boomer prices. The purpose of the student loan scam is to create debt slaves that propagate the bureaucratic managerial class.

The Orthodox church comemorates the thousands of clergy and laity who were killed or suffered gravely at the hands of the atheist revolutionaries. The commemoration is titled New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia.

I only know of Vance what I've read in the last week or so but this is more bloviation and less actual journalism.

Trump’s veep pick overcame generational poverty and a dysfunctional family. But the life lessons he celebrates are a dead end for the rest of us.

The author never explains why JD's ideas are dead ends.

Vance outlines the only two principles he feels are important: get more money, get more power.

If you actually want to change things this is great advice.

But, he spends the majority of his political tirades against individuals themselves describing how people become reliant on a welfare state and become lazy, self-hating, and apathetic as a result.

I'd have to read his actual words to know whether this is an accurate summary. I know that his tech bro backers would probably agree with the idea that the welfare state is expensive, poorly managed and a net negative in it's current state.

Much of his rage towards immigrants...

He married an immigrant.

Vance is a new type of masculine heroine that views his brain as his greatest asset...

Having self-control, intellect and being industrious has always been a part of a healthy masculine identity. Not sure what he means by "new".

and wants taxes to stop limiting his use of it.

If you are smart and want to use your resources to change things then taxes get in your way. If on top of that you think taxes are wasted by being sent to foreign countries or subsidizing the unlawful entry and residence of foreigners on American soil then you will want to stop paying them entirely. (He talked about this a bit in his speech)

I recommend this article if you want insight on what makes him tick.

That doesn't surprise me. The left and right paradigm flattens a ton of complexity into a boolean spectrum when the reality is far more complex than that.
