college being free is progress? Didn't someone define it as something that lifts all of us up?

current Progressive goal is one of the next 3:

- to make sure that everyone is exactly equal
Problem is that the only thing everyone can have equal in abundance is misery

- All for me and none for thee

- I need to cover my past crimes as a sex offender with minors

If I have a college degree and only a few other people have them, that makes me valuable compared to other people. If I have a college degree and everyone has one, that means I'm just the same as everyone else.

I can't demand higher wages.

To be honest I wasn't too hyped about free college but still thought Bernie was way better than Hillary and had a better view on healthcare than Trump

Right, I am not asking for regressive goals labeled progressive, I am asking for actual progressive goals.

And Bernie showed he wasn't a bleeding heart faggot when asked about ICE which is good.

Free college seems to be the real rallying cry right now. As is unlimited open immigration.

there are no actual progressive goals,

Things are pretty solidly stable under normal society, Racism is at an all time low, crime is low, sickness is low

Only thing that can get better is that people would study actual USEFUL degrees and use that to help upgrade society with technological improvement

Yeah fuck the free college people. They want to brainwash centrists.

*SHRINK GUBMENT*

As opposed to every loser picking "Gender studies" or some other degree in knitting, and then wondering why no one hires them and they end up pouring piss-water at starbucks

But you can't say that everything is working well and still have perpetual revolution. Everything MUST be terrible to justify perpetual revolution.

hating society for having cheated them with a useless degree

well there is no such thing as free college, unless we are bringing back slavery...even that has a cost.

and serving the next generation of wankers that take useless degrees

I think certification programs for autodidacts should be funded instead

Exactly @Atkins , thats where we are now, so people are inventing new "terribleness" like wage gaps etc to justify their moral outrage

Also the idea of free college isn't bad, hear me out

I know what you're going to say.

to me is seems most of the actual progressive ideas, are coming from the right.

But this won't be free college to those people who meet the high meritocratic standard, this will be free college for everyone regardless of grades and regardless of market demand for their degree.

It has to be free college for useful degrees though,

If you can get a generation of actual tech-savvy people to fill the void, you dont have to import outsiders,

And their contributions will increase the value of your nations GDP due to technological improvements, meaning everyone starts making better money because you become the powerhouse economy due to having a lot of competition on high-end degrees

abortion, limited government, free trade (not corporatism), etc.

They specifically don't want that.

I'm for easing the crippling burden of student debt but I also think people who've gotted degrees in the insanely corrupted modern liberal arts should have to deal with the consequences of spending their time on something so pointless.

They want free for everyone with no qualifiers.

and thats why i'm against it @Atkins 😛

cuz they're pissing away taxdollars on useless degrees that end up costing us more than they add

I'm fine with like, a President Bernie Sanders saying free college because I don't think he's gonna make it happen from the executive branch

this is why big government is bad,

A corporation can't make bad decisions or they'll go bankrupt and fail

If a Government makes a bad decision, well the taxpayers can just pay for the loss, and you start anew

Sanders is a socialist, he'll make it happen from executive cuz its all central control

A government makes a bad decision and your currency hyperinflates, punishing those who invest and save.

But from the bully pulpit of the POTUS seat, you can say we need to do something about crippling student debt and it becomes part of the mainstream narrative, which is a good thing.

Want to fix student debt? Make it dischargable in bankruptcy proceedings, and allow banks to refuse to issue student loans based on degree and grades.

crippling student debt is all facebook 18-30 year olds talk about,

its already a mainstream narrative, but no one in government cares cuz the Dems see it as a way to get votes,
And the Reps see it as a way of forcing you to keep paying banks

Wew

Dems: You got student debt? okay vote for me and i'll use your own taxpayer money, minus administration fee, to pay you back a small share to help pay it off

Reps: You got student debt? okay vote for me and i'll make sure you can loan a lot more from banks because your economic prospects are higher due to lower taxes, but you'll have to pay back more

Schools: Oh you got more money? Good we can raise prices and hire more school administration and diversity hires for a good reputation
