*"If only we expanded the government just a little bit more. You won't notice, I swear."*

2018-08-17 22:20:19 UTC  

Next thing you know, you're radically redistributing people's wealth

2018-08-17 22:21:33 UTC  

Again, technicaly we have free tuition if you are a failure after you Graduate or drop out (if you don't earn above £21k annually, you don't pay but still get interest)

2018-08-17 22:22:37 UTC  

It's just an excuse to increase state powers, under the guise of morality and care for the poor

2018-08-17 22:23:30 UTC  

How though? It lets them get gender studies free 😂 How will they earn £21k+

2018-08-17 22:24:08 UTC  

Most Western European countries have functioning healthcare systems, and proper tuition fees for students

2018-08-17 22:24:25 UTC  

In the case of Sweden and Denmark the state even pays you to go to higher educations

2018-08-17 22:24:30 UTC  

Ye

2018-08-17 22:24:55 UTC  

Scotland pays for your tuitions if you're a scottish or EU/EEA student

2018-08-17 22:25:17 UTC  

Ameritards are like "buh mugh dollars 'n Kappalusm"

2018-08-17 22:26:10 UTC  

yeh, they don't like putting money for the common good, they just want to pay for themselves

2018-08-17 22:26:14 UTC  

I intend to pay mine off, but our system won't bankrupt me like theirs would before I get on my feet

2018-08-17 22:26:26 UTC  

"Functioning" for the past 40 years at most, running off of fumes from the previous generations contributions

2018-08-17 22:26:53 UTC  

How many of these are stretched to their limits at the moment?

2018-08-17 22:27:02 UTC  

Canada's is failing now

2018-08-17 22:27:17 UTC  

Isn't that what Welfare is though? @Fitzydog

2018-08-17 22:27:18 UTC  

the threshold for paying it back was raised a while ago, you dont pay anything until you're earning more than ~24k now iirc

2018-08-17 22:27:31 UTC  

Still functioning to the present day.

2018-08-17 22:28:12 UTC  

Only this year mate @Vopi if you had a loan out for an earlier term that was 21k it applies still I think?

2018-08-17 22:28:31 UTC  

Canada used to have great doctors, prior to socialized medicine. Now that that generation has retired, their quality is dropping significantly and they're traveling to the US for care

2018-08-17 22:28:40 UTC  

oh right, not sure if old loans were grandfathered in or not, i go to uni in october, as a mature student

2018-08-17 22:29:28 UTC  

says here if you started your undergrad on or after sept 2012, so applies to some from previous years

2018-08-17 22:31:08 UTC  

What's your degree?

2018-08-17 22:32:16 UTC  

For me the US election caught me mid degree. It started to get people's ideologies more clear and out in the open

2018-08-17 22:32:26 UTC  

im not sure what to make of the uni i'll be going to, can't tell if it's infested or not

2018-08-17 22:32:31 UTC  

Ah, interesting so art school?

2018-08-17 22:32:42 UTC  

actually scratch that, it is. mandatory consent course, yey.

2018-08-17 22:35:28 UTC  

@Vopi You shouldn't really be worried about whether unis are infested with SJWs or not. Even if you disagree with them, you can still get your degree and live fine. Just don't be an absolute jackass. People will respect your ideas if you're respectful. If you waive a kekistani flag and call everyone a libtard cuck... then yeh people will treat you badly.

2018-08-17 22:35:33 UTC  

games and how they are the most inclusive medium in history 😛

2018-08-17 22:36:22 UTC  

@Capitán Alatriste never have, and honestly I dont want want to be another TheQuartering

2018-08-17 22:36:36 UTC  

Don't want to be*

2018-08-17 22:36:46 UTC  

i appreciate the reassuring words, just not sure what to expect, i've heard some horror stories am probably just being overly cautious

2018-08-17 22:37:53 UTC  

People on the right tend to overexaggerate it, and it really mostly depends how you behave yourself.

2018-08-17 22:38:13 UTC  

There are a lot of left leaning people in uni, it's how it is, and how it's always been

2018-08-17 22:38:18 UTC  

Some are worse than others. Mine is pretty chill with politics, but the Student Union ban all centre and right speakers

2018-08-17 22:38:49 UTC  

It's not uncommon

2018-08-17 22:40:07 UTC  

There are plenty of right leaning people in unis aswell though

2018-08-17 22:40:28 UTC  

It's not like you'll be a "lone survivor"

2018-08-17 22:41:40 UTC  

luckily i'm doing accounting and finance, not much room for postmodern intersectionality.

2018-08-17 22:43:11 UTC  

Well I didn't go into arts, put I did do a politics related degree, and yes there are a LOT of lefties there. But you can still have a rational discourse if you treat people respectfully and speak in a civil manner

2018-08-17 22:43:57 UTC  

Some people may just act like cunts because you oppose them, just simply ignore them
