I also went from 30k$ salary to 100k

I'm in law school, myself. Not exactly 0 debt 😂

I think that's from the "conservative mindset"

But that's awesome, man.

nice! which school/state if you dont mind me asking?

im UF law

Yeah @Cringing diligence and honesty will get you far

if you said it before i apologize for forgetting

UVA Law

I dropped out of college tbh

virginia.... good luck

Haha, thanks man, doing my best

We've got interviews for the summer all next week

I moved across the country to elope with my sweetie against her parents' wishes 😛

now we live across the street from them lol

i greatly appreciate these discussions the most btw

i wish it was as simple to engage leftists

i do try

if they will at least not completely shut down its sometimes mildly productive

mfw parents live their lives but want to live through their children selfishly

Like who I like. Work where I wish I could have worked

@Cringing Look at you making peace in the end 💯
@Kekistani American Yeah they don't like to have a hard think. I think it's because they're arguing primarily from rhetoric and they don't know precisely what their Marxist axioms truly are

@Ed Irrational beliefs like "words are violence" cause that

too many useful idiots, yeah

the usual result i get is "ok, now that you've explained yourself, i get where you're coming from, i just still disagree", which is already infinitely better than everyone on the right being racist Nazis

If having even the idea in your head is verboten, then thinking is considered taboo

But that's exactly the thing

You have to discuss an uphill talk just to get of the point of their benefit of the doubt

They have no intellectual charity because they're so afraid of touching the wrongthink

benefit of the doubt and good faith discourse would be night and day compared to current climate

even at 1% success rate i keep trying

meh

forgive me for trying to avoid a civil war with my countrymen down the line

😛

They think religiously, not rationally. Anything against their ideology is the equivalent of satan

A civil war we would win

I think we're due for one

I do think there is a limit to how many we can reach

and I say that as a parent

it's almost complete charity that we try to avoid it

but it's a worthwhile cause
