Remember, kids

If it aligns with your views then it's relateable. If it aligns with the views of others then it's pandering.

Why can't people just enjoy inclusive games without straight white boys yelling at them?
Yeah man, all those straight white cishet males throwing temper tantrums over tokenism, alienating their community and causing general shit storms across the gaming sphere. It's practically endemic.

Oh, wait.

College isn't the kind of thing you can coast through. Maybe 100-level classes, but as soon as you make it into your third and fourth years, taking upper division classes, that takes actual work.
If you want a decent degree, sure, but can probably scrape by with a sub par degree if you put the bare minimum in.
Quote
Obviously there are some positions that don't require a degree, and even if the job requirements list a degree, a business can hire whoever they want if they think they have the qualifications. One of my coworkers doesn't have a degree, but has a shit-ton of relevant experience. But that's far from the norm.
Explain how it's 'far from the norm' then. Not everyone lives in California.

My sister is job hunting right now, and she's still in college, and nearly every low-level job she applies to has a degree requirement. That's just how things are here.
Again, sounds more like a locational issue as opposed to the labour market in general.
Quote
I literally mentioned trades in the post you're quoting...which you conveniently omitted.
So why are you positing the notion that you can't sustain yourself without a degree when you quite obviously can? You drill people in with that mindset and of course they're going to end up with a shitty career.

2616
with compulsory. I also think you're ignoring that college admissions would still exist. If you're a retard with a .02 GPA, you're not getting in.
Obviously, but the prospect of free college devalues the point of getting one. I know from experience in Scotland because I see lazy fuckers all the time coasting on the idea of obtaining a degree because they can, wasting tax payer money, and flooding more of the job market with it.
Quote
In the US, at least, a college degree is virtually required for any job that pays more than minimum wage.
Can we please stop this conjectural meme already? I want to see evidence that the labour market is so fucked that employers refuse to hire anyone that doesn't have a bachelors.
Quote
There are a few that don't, but the vast majority do. A college degree is worth now what a high school education was 60-80 years ago. Things change and it's time to adapt.
Absolute hogwash. What about skill based work? Plumbers, electricians and construction workers are just as important to the facilitation of the economy as uni grads are, and sometimes pay more in some instances. I almost never see emphasis placed on those types of professions.

2617
I think people are forgetting that the primary purpose of a degree is to gear you up for becoming an effective member of society. It isn't for everyone. Not everybody has the mental capacity to do a degree. It's all very nice saying free college 'educates the population', but what's the point in obtaining said education if it's been rendered useless? How are you supposed to stand out if everyone and anyone has a degree?

The marines could do a lot of damage but I can't really see them mowing down 120,000 men. Ameriburger tech isn't THAT good.
why mow down 120,000 when whole regiments will be surrendering after a hundred or so?

As a 20 year old I can buy a fully loaded shotgun capable of cutting fuckers in half, but I can't chug down a couple of ice cold pints with my mates down the pub?

Oh sorry, bar.

You should be if you're working class. Free higher ed. in Scotland has basically amounted to a giant subsidy to middle-class kids.

Scotland has essentially elected tumblrinas as leaders so that means I get free tertiary education.

No idea what this entails for me in the future, but I'm pretty apprehensive about it.

Does he have a tendency for sociopathic behaviour like this? Just curious.

There's nothing wrong with supporting a loved one who has been accused of something allegedly reprehensible. You're his bro. It's completely up to you if you want to support him or not.

Personally, if it was my brother and there was compelling evidence supporting an accusation like that then he deserves everything that's coming to him, family member or not. But I'm not you, so the ball's in your court. But as I said, there's nothing really wrong with whatever you choose to do.

He went from muh freedumbs loving retard with the occasional good point every now and then to a full blown InfoWars tier misogynist.

I never found him to be particularly credible in the first place even though I enjoyed his breakdown of the Trayvon Martin case. He advertises himself as this grandiose expert in economics, politics and philosophy, when in actuality he's just a bumbling retard who has know clue what he's talking about just like the rest of us.

openly accept new madeup pronouns might be a bit too much to ask (that ze/zir xe/xem crap)
You know what, I consider myself to be a proponent of transgenderism after heavy consideration now, but I absolutely refuse to recognise this special snowflake pseudo-science garbage. There are only two genders that you can identify with. End of.
Slippery slope was never a fallacy
There are valid and invalid uses of the slippery slope fallacy. If you can provide an inductive argument between the established and predicted result with reasonable evidence then it should not be considered a fallacy, although there are legitimate slippery slope fallacies out there. Gay marriage leading to bestiality being a prime example.

I agree though. It's basically become a cop out meme if you can't come up with your own counter argument.

Another problem I have with "white privilege" is that it lists an alleged problem but it basically provides no viable solutions to it whatsoever. It's like proponents of this meme just expect white people to self flagellate in regret just for being white and offering nothing to nullify this supposed "privilege".

What's this? A country with a majority population of whites benefits from being a historically white country? Shocker.

So if I emigrate to the Middle East can I tell Muslims to check their Arab privilege too? Oh the joys of victimology.
You basically just said we're as bad as the Arabs.

You can tote around this holier-than-thou attitude all you like desu, still doesn't make you any more correct. A religion that you choose to subscribe to doesn't absolve you from criticism and condemnation because the majority of people that believe in it happen to be brown.

"Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life."

Muslims are a race? This is news to me.
