We might as well just start building our parallel capital

I will say, academia is certainly not for everyone - but if you fit in that camp there is a place to similarly seek influence.

I-I'm not the only one who remembers this, r-right?

@Jacob There’s still a homework server if that counts.

no there was literally a college server for college students to talk to each other but no one used it because almost all of us are already college students anyway

@Kingfish your optimism is very admirable.

It's a bit hard to get people on your side without status in society, even if that society is a joke. You may learn nothing at college but that piece of paper may be worth a lot of people's respect.

@Papa Pizzagate Yes, I’m a nerd. What about it?

Your pessimism is very unfortunate @⚡Clark⚡

@missliterallywho nobody respects a degree.

Individually many of us are getting into GOP infrastructure and convincing TPUSA civnats to come our way. As a group we are building parallel institutions to take the place of old ones when they go kaput

Well you clearly don’t

Lmao ok bro

This movement is multilateral

@⚡Clark⚡ Employers do, Clark.

IE should make it's own degrees

<:teehee:381917632359563264>

I'm sure employers would respect them more

@Jacob Written in crayon

We can have a graduation ceremony over the fireside

@DixieBoy76 - KY no that's gay

eeductation is worthless, self educateed are always better

it's gonna be cool and have Dragon's Eyes on it

and printed on nice paper

I’m self educated in recognizing cold takes

Yep, that’s a cold one

Do y’all actually think you’re going to retake institutional power by just trying a bit harder, or is it a cope? Actually curious here

"oh, I see you have a degree in *squints* race studies from Evropa Vniversity"

Do you think you’re winning over anyone without making arguments other than broad generalizations pertaining to you

Actually curious

arguments dumb

Also curious

What is “just trying a bit harder” mean

@⚡Clark⚡ I sense a bit of broad generalizations on your part.

I’m an academic at heart and my life has only been more problematic when I’ve lied to myself about that fact.

Big brains rise up

@DeusVolk Same here. I always thought I was just “lazy” but instead I’m just more of an academic than a blue collar. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Nobody knows what will happen we have to be ready for anything

tbh I have no idea what I am

A blue collar life can be pure torture if you're not cut out for it. I've watched my husband try to fit in that box since we moved here. It's not working.
