Why is everyone in college such a normie
To incentivize mask wearing in all parts of academic buildings, professors at my school are now standing in vestibules handing out colorful pens and shirts to students who put their muzzle on prior to entering the building. I watch as classmates, who I thought were sane, respectable people, claim their "prize" and show it off to others. Wtf is wrong with people? Do they want a doggy treat too for being a good boy?
I've always thought that a small business school was a smart choice because at a bigger, more well-known school I would have to witness daily virtue signaling cringe. It seems that the disease has spread. Our generation is so damn stupid.
Corporate America is worse buddy.
lol so much worse. The shit that HR peddles is just as bad, but instead of it being from somewhat an older authority figure that you might still respect in college (you are an impressionable 18-22 year old after all), it's from a 'peer' that you fully recognize is an idiot with no real skillset
Furthermore, while in college you can leave those kind of interactions with your buds and talk about how big of a chode that fuckwad was - no such confidants in the corporate world
And lastly, even worse, you have about 20% of your peers being cheerleaders for whatever leadership craps down just so they get their pat on the head. Instead of any disagreement from the other 80% it's just silent compliance and a little bit of eye rolling.
One of nicest things about WFH is getting out of the 4 walls corporate ecosystem
Also how's the sex scene in college OP? Are girls less willing to hookup now due to the virus/less social nature of college/less parties/less social events/less in class opportunities to meet girls?
Not many good looking girls... I go to a small business school. I wouldn't say anyone is less willing to hookup and go to events: girls will nod along while professors shame people for not wearing masks, and then they'll go to a crowded party that night with no mask. Its all a farce, no one really cares about Covid.
Yeah, this surprisingly doesn't hold out too well these days. Most schools except for A&M and religious schools (and maybe a handful of deep south state schools) are solidly liberal (think 70+%). Ivy League schools are well over 90% so while you see that it is "lower" it's nowhere near purple like you were thinking.
So there finally are perks to going to a non-target SEC school!
Because universities are overrun with compliant little progressive doggies who are eager to be told what to do and be given a "good job" once they do it. The faculty and admins are often worse than the students if I remember my old experiences but with how social media looks these days it looks frankly awful for both sides.
Faculty and admin here tend to be even more virtuous than the average student. Not just the English and history departments either...
At my Uni even the business school was filled with them. A bunch of whiny cunts at the front of the classroom for the most part with the only exceptions being finance professors I had who all came from the professional world (former top consultants, private equity, or equity analysts). Looking back the only redeeming part of Uni was that it exposed me to finance in the first place and I made a few close friends/met mentors through the alumni network. And the parties of course.
Defund universities, pull all federal student aid, cut professors pay 50%, arrest professors taking money from China.
You realize what this will do to the country? A very large chunk of the population will not be able to afford an education, community colleges and state schools would not be able to operate, and there will be no financial incentive to give back and teach the next generation. All because... "normies"?
Good. Not everyone needs a college degree to do their jobs. If anything, it is a waste and a debt trap for most.
A large chunk of the country can't afford schools now because of these things. Take a look at how the federalization of the student loan market fixes prices and forces them upward every year.
Also elite universities are incubators for the next generation of corporate leaders, intelligence agents, bureaucrats, and the upper management cadres that support them. They've always self-selected for conformist personalities and have basically never been about radicalism. What happened in the 1960s was part of an institutional coup.
This chart says it all. With distributed workforces / remote hiring, rising opportunity in Asia (India / Southeast Asia / China), and crypto / blockchain this is only accelerating. When you let a bunch of alt left morons run your country into the ground with communism & invent problems that are barely worth acknowledging (you tell me what's more important -- fighting to defend the mental illness of believing there are more than 2 genders or fighting to defend your country's place as #1 in the world), this will only get worse
1. Asian countries wore masks before the pandemic and in general have much stricter COVID restrictions, if you think they would tolerate a dumbass "freethinker" like you, you're delusional
2. The US is not communist nor is it run by communists. The only permanent expansions of government in the past 20 years have been Obamacare (all of East Asia has public healthcare even if it's crappy) and Biden's infrastructure (China spends much more on it than us).
3. Jerking off to jobs getting shipped overseas because aT lEAST tHEY dONT lIKE tRANS pEOPLE has to be one of the most braindead statements I've read on here. Maybe that chart has something to do with the fact that it's unrealistic for a country of 300 million to be 50% of the world GDP long term.
>has never heard of the all-encompassing national security state
They wore masks because their air quality sucks... but how is this of any relevance to the chart here?

To be fair the worst we ever were in was in the 1940s (and there's very little debate that FDR was a socialist), but it has been on the increase directionally in the past 2 decades.
Fair, but let's look at GDP per capita then: https://www.worldometers.info/gdp/gdp-per-capita/

Drumpfy you are a true blue autist, please STFU. I haven't protested against masks / Covid restrictions once, can you please stop acting like a retard and putting words in people's mouths?
The above is a statement of fact you moron, I didn't say I was excited about it. It's happening, you can either live your delusional bubble or you can accept the realities & figure a way out (either for the country & for yourself)
Love how you come it with the most asinine takes and then people poop on you like the village idiot you are lol
Why the hell are you even on these forums? You don't even work in finance
Once again the commie can't help but shut his mouth & has to try and fight facts with his own 'alternative facts'
Drumpfy, answer me honestly - do you have Aspergers? If at least you let the forum know they might take it easy on you
>1. Asian countries wore masks before the pandemic and in general have much stricter COVID restrictions, if you think they would tolerate a dumbass "freethinker" like you, you're delusional
Mask-wearing and other virus-related rules have never been legally enforced in Japan, and vaccination certificates are currently not being used widely.
Let me repeat that: there are no laws on the books in Japan requiring masks or vaccines.

Everything went downhill after we abandoned the gold standard and introduced MMT
I've noticed this too man. Some COVID university guidelines make literally 0 sense and yet people follow them like sheep.
Let’s put aside whether or not the rules make sense. When you enter another person’s private property, you tend to (and should to a reasonable extent) obey the rules that be or simply don’t participate.
Public university is not private property...
Incorrect. Any university can designate a particular place "private" or “public” regardless of its funding status. State universities have private property and premises where you are not permitted to enter. If you do enter their premises (of the university in general), you need to confirm to their rules and regulations. A university isn’t some park or road in the street.
Liberalism is a mental disorder
Here's a different take - college is a collection of people who have never been independent in their life, for the most part, and all take comfort in "fitting in". So when you get that view, all new classes take after their senior peers and that leads into a vicious cycle of normalcy, as you put it. And at its core, the way this type of conformity manifests itself is an ever evolving concept. Like now, the culture of showing off or flexing is huge, especially given how easy it is, so of course almost everyone will follow suit.
Just saying that politics aside, the same phenomenon applies to these groups of people
95 percent or more of college professors and administrators are liberal and part them are radical Marxists and they see it as their duty of educating young people to indictrinate them with their ideas.
An important reason I think for the relative ease they can manipulate these kids is the lack of values/beliefs/philosophy these student have, and the need to belong to some group or movement. All those kids that are walking around with BLM shirts and feeling good about themselves when to walk or riot with these groups.
It's a lack of any meaning in their lives, so they go all in on some movement or whatever to feel important.
The problem is that in the past those people would get back on earth when they entered the real world. Now these insane ideas are the norm in a lot of companies. It's no coincidence these big tech companies are doing everything to shut down conservatives and other people that don't fit their narrative.
Corporations, despite trying to believe otherwise, are at their heart completely spineless. They buckle to any pressure, and 10 people screeching on twitter to them accounts to a 'PR Nightmare'. There is still a massive disconnect between the real world, beliefs, values of the average person and those that yell the loudest on social media. The tail is wagging the dog now.
Interesting point and probably to an extent explains why communism/Marxism seeks to stamp out evangelicals/religious people as well as secular free thinkers in their created societies.
There is no shame in not getting into a top program, not everyone is cut out for it. But damn man, this kind of lame justification is sooooo cringe lol.
Never mentioned anything about prestige or quality of the program... simply referring to school size and name recognition.
