Boiling it down, we find that judgment, condemnation and hate basically puts one into the divisive anti-life camp of evil, serving the ends of evil, regardless of whether one defines evil as an intelligent force or more simply as the effects of desiring harm to others. This is the commonality of these groups or of any institution who’s net effect is harmful. Therefore, the antidote has to be a true spirit of altruism. Otherwise, we’re all f**ked, because there is no lasting solution if not altruism.
Thank you, very massively appreciated! The real irony is that I for one opted out of heading to college and all my IRL "friends" -- among various unsavory people of unadulterated mediocrity -- encountered in where I live denigrate me as an unlearned idiot for lacking college "education," yet somehow by God's merciful grace I managed to rapidly in these past months attain an increasingly nuanced grasp at what's going on in the world and why.
there’s really no limit to what a motivated person can learn on their own. and i think because you didn’t have people telling you how to interpret things, you are able to see through a lot of the bullshit dogma that plagues western academia.
college is ultimately just expensive brainwashing. fortunately i went when in-state tuition was maybe $5k/year. i did learn a ton though; four semesters of french & italian, then four semesters of linguistics, then two semesters of every class being a philosophy class. i’m pretty sure i was the bane of the philosophy department’s existence. i pushed against everything the entire time. then i did a bunch of drugs for like five years and utterly deprogrammed myself.
i did not push my son (20) to go to college because he really didn’t like school (adhd-type alternative learner) and honestly we can’t afford it. information is so accessible now that i don’t see it as really necessary.
Yes, in my arduous journey growing up, I disdained the obnoxious fogeys telling me how to think and increasingly hated cult-like collectivist mentalities herding masses into circular-reasoning justified nonsense.
> "college is ultimately just expensive brainwashing"
Couldn't agree more.
Oh, lol, sounds like I'm in the same generational age group as your son. Similarly I hated school and myself am on the autism spectrum. And yes, agreed as to the widely free availability of information these days.
Oh, I wish: unfortunately this world is turning form bad to worse, and the majority of "resistance" movements will become consolidated into duped controlled opposition. That's kind of what I implicitly alluded to in this Stack posting: the final one-world agenda necessitates first a tsunami of psyop manipulation redefining perceptions of reality and morality, and it will reach the point of those believing they are "anti-establishment" actually doing the conspirators' dirty work without realizing it.

i can only hope y'all will be the ones to burn this motherfucker down.

alas, you’re not wrong.
i saw a quote somewhere “Only trust the sad revolutionaries. The enthusiastic ones are the oppressors of tomorrow.”
