getting taught what to think instead of how to think

Remember when verified meant that's who you are?

im glad i didnt go to any of these schools, id be expelled all the time

@Catallaxis Yeah, they eventually decided that's what it was

I remember a day before social networks, where people posted stupid opinions on forums and boards and mailing lists

oh yeah i remember that with milo

yes

Yet nobody's lives were ruined

MSN chat 😄

thats because it wasnt taken ridiculously serious as it is today

"you tweeted X in 2010, how do you explain your abhorrent behavior?"

Remember when "Someone's WRONG on the internet" was a meme?

yeah

Holy fuck I said the most retarded shit back in the day

that was already a thing before meme's became a thing

It used to mean staying up all night arguing with them. Now it means staying up all night trying to get them banned and fired.

hahahaha

lol

oh that rings so familiar 😄

Ok here is an example of the beauty of the internet

One thing I do see is that those day it was...narrower adoption, shall we say

You can't get fired if you don't have a job [Insert tapping head meme]

and case for free speech

Many years ago when i was younger i believed in the 2001 conspiracy

"muh steel beams dont melt"

U know what it took for me to realize how retarded i was

lmao. That's hilarious. I used to believe that O'Reilly was right on everything.

you were shamed and ostracised and called a Nazi?

A 2 min youtube video of a blacksmith calling me a fucking retard over and over and then bending the steelbeam with his pinky.

wew

Thats all it took

I just thought "Is Bush actually a mastermind? No"

xD

Seems like a reasonable and insightful video imo

Seriously my thought was not "this guy is evil he is calling me a retard! HE NEEDS TO BE BANNED"

No, i thought, holy shit, i am a retard. Why didnt i think of this before

Clearly, you need to rethink again. Banning is the name of the game

Yea clearly im in need of some re-education

Banning is too 2017 m8. Now its all about firing and preventing further career progression <:wesmart:283702503562936320>

And rendering homeless.
