student loans are a hit!

[Ooloo]

I took home-ec in 7th grade and it was like how to sew and make pies and stuff, alongside a class called technology which was how to make a shitty CD rack for fathers day or something. Then in highschool I had to take general economics and also a class called participation in government.

I don't really remember what I learned in either of them cause I was mostly just obsessed with my girlfriend liking me in highschool.

I definitely do not remember anything about tax returns, tax forms, what taxes really even are, mortgages, credit, loans, insurance or general finance. I did get a fairly good public education in math, science, history and music though which isn't nothing. Of course this was in the late 90s, can't speak to what it's like today cause I don't have kids.

Speaking of guns, this is decent full coverage of the 2023 Austin, TX mass shooting by an incel/white supremacist

This includes the police bodycam footage of him being gunned down (offscreen). It was fortunate that a hero cop was already in the parking lot talking to someone else when the shooting started. AR’s are fuckin loud, man

Skip to 2+ min in for that

You hit the nail on the head with the moron analogy

Mass shooters, just like I imagine most religious or other ideology terrorists, are almost always stupid people. Not quite to a disabled or legally retarded level, but we aren’t talking about future brain surgeons or scientists here. Stupid to the point of barely being able to maintain any job or live independently

Stupid people are easy to indoctrinate and manipulate. I imagine many people are stumbling onto the same extremist material, whether that’s about the superiority of a particular race or religion or ideology, and most normal people are like “well, that’s ridiculous, pass”

Whereas the most stupid of the stupid are saying “that makes a lot of sense, I could die for this cause”

there are criminal gangs of all races, dunno what you're trying to do here.

also there are like 3.5 asian for every 1 caucasian.

we're gonna own planet earth just as soon as we figure out how to get out of our own way

it's not like white folks have any appreciation of the world they built, nor the wisdom to maintain their power.

well, I guess the Jews do, because they had to fight for like 4+ thousand years, but europeans/americans, nah, these guys inherited literally everything they have and don't understand how it was built, because it isn't taught in schools or tiktok videos.

example: if you're under 16 in china, your internet access is shut off from 10pm to 6am. while in the west, the 4th most visited website is pornhub, after google facebook and youtube.

that's just one example among thousands.

Bunch of wise men saying yes I agree we should push and test students early, so those not academically inclined can be directed to the trades. This is a proven method that works.

But if this even was hinted at by an educator, same folks would be screaming "social engineering!" Trade tracks always existed. It was called BOCES on Long Island and in high school it was a given that on most days, a third of the students got on the busses to go to their shops and apprentice programs.

It's mostly dismantled now, because no school wants to fight the lawsuits parents will bring, if you say, "Yer kid would make a good plumber, not an astronaut/linguist."

And then those kids, who were cushioned from reality because their paretns can't deal, they have kids who, two generations into listless education, blame the schools for why things suck on an elf simulator forum.
