And see no value in being broadly educated

There's a guy ITT upset about being forced to learn about history and literature instead of just being thrown out onto the assembly line. I mean, Jesus. Do you view yourself as a machine that only exists to make some corporation more money?

All this topic proves is that people only see education as a means to make more money at a crushing 9 to 5 job.
Capitalism is a scam.

wow it's almost like you guys are pretending it's a scam to convince other people to pay for your shit or something

Nobody goes into a CE thread wanting their opinions to be affected by reality. Get out of here.

The guy has too many morals?

This is from a Vogue photoshoot so no?

Oh good, it was going down for a while.

That seems too low. Some people must be lying.

I think at least 50% of flat Earthers are doing it for the memes

What's the Geno origin story? When he was 20, did someone tell him not to date a 15 year old? And now he takes it all out on us.

Sorry CE, this is a funny tweet.

I don't know, but anyone who'd make a thread like this is definitely an incel

Getting mad over laugh tracks is a very gen z thing. I don't even notice them most of the time, they've just been in so many shows over the decades.

She knows he can't hear her in space, right?

Why are people so mad about a book for 12 year old girls? Just don't read it.

I read all my books on kindle so they sort of have me by the nutsack there.

Gaetz is a powerful politician. You can't even remotely say his situation is comparable to "average" pedophiles and that's assuming he's actually guilty of pedophilia.

Secondly:
https://www.hg.org/legal-articles/sex-offenders-facing-increased-vigilantism-21805

Average pedophiles are defended and protected by their family. Usually an abuser is an older family member or family friend, and usually the child is pressured to keep quiet to not rock the boat. The vast majority of sexual assaults aren't reported and even fewer reports actually go anywhere.

The people attacked by vigilantes are just people who are widely disliked in the community. Calling someone who dislike a pedo is the same as calling someone a witch in the 1600s. It's an excuse to attack them when you already wanted to. There are very rare cases where they attack an actual pedophile, but they're aberrations. For all the "Let's kill the pedos!" rhetoric you see online and in the media, how many real pedos actually get attacked? Less than 1%?

Online/media "Yeah let's kill the pedos!" rhetoric is basically a society-wide overcompensation. Because in real life people act in the exact opposite way. If society actually hated pedophiles that much there wouldn't be such a stigma in coming forward as a victim. It wouldn't be so hard to get a conviction.

All of this is to say: people online who cheer for vigilantism while doing nothing to actually help victims or advocate changes in culture are frauds.

^ bruh what the fuck

Edit: @ #30

It's true though? Look at any victim accounts. 90% of the time victims are pressured not to come forward because accusations might "cause trouble" for the molester.

Please do not defend pedophiles or child molesters, it not only looks bad but makes you look like a sympathizer.

Lock them up or bury them, just keep them away from children.

Do people actually think that real child molesters are getting killed by vigilantes? Real child molesters usually get supported and defended by the people around them and victims are told to shut up. Trump, Gaetz, etc. The only people getting killed by vigilantes are people who nobody likes, who get accused of random shit because it justifies murdering them.

Someone murdered a child molester. Fair, next.

"Murdering the elderly is fine as long as some anonymous murderer says he's a pedophile."
Seriously, the level of pedo panic in the US is ridiculous.

If I knock up every one of those girls then there will be ten babies to replace the five dead ones. Therefore, saving the women is a positive good.

The comic is still going? I thought the cartoonist just became a professional tweeter.

Women and gay men can't be incels unless they're exceptionally hideous. There's not enough people there to make an online footprint.

I see Massachusetts never really got over their Puritan phase

So news stations shouldn't talk about the guy who:

1. Was president for 4 years
2. Is currently the leader of one of the only two valid political parties in the country
3. Just was the headline speaker at CPAC like last week
4. Is still fighting against the election results
5. Is so important within his own party that Republicans are turning on their high-ranking memebers that criticize him
6. Attempted a coup only 6 months ago
7. Is almost certainly going to be the Republican nominee in 2024

NOOOOOOO MY VIRGIN EYES
These losers just become more and more of a joke

Average cops

Are conservatives still trying to pretend they're not enacting voter suppression? Literally nobody believes them.

Don't worry, they'll move back once they realise that they'll be without electricity if it gets too hot or cold. I wonder to what states the people would flee to when Texas turns blue, and hooks back in to the national power grid?

Florida?

californians flocking to tx since they cant afford california anymore. hopefully tx doesn't go blue. it'll be democrats forever. not that i'm big on politcs or a repub. but im more in favor of an even playing field.

Republicans are the ones moving from California to Texas lmao. Beto would have won if it was just native Texans voting.

They're putting money back into the economy instead of hoarding it, how is that bad?

France 1965

Also I looked this up and all that happened in 1965 was De Gaulle won and election against a left-wing candidate. Is the list guy arguing that the US was supporting the socialist candidate, because I can't find any info about it.

This list is full of holes.

Ukraine 2014 *

How did the US cause the Ukrainian Revolution?

Except it turns out they were a counter-protest, in support of the government.

Yes, protesting in support of the government. That's definitely something that happens in real life.

I think Mustache guy went on his twitch channel after this and tried to act like he was some sort of badass for awkwardly telling a guy to shut up. I don't think I can find it, I don't even remember the guy's name.

Update: I found the video but he took it down at some point
