Ladies & gents, I want to introduce you to the weirdest Schizo posting that DID NOT originate on Twitter. It concerns the GATE program, a kind of initiative rolled out by public schools in the 90's seeking talented kids. If you're a millennial like me, this may ring a bell. A 🧵

Please don't be mean to the children of politicians. Kamala already lost. It's over. No need to do this. I maintain this sort of thing is bad for the soul

Funny part is that the Right was completely right about her. Not shortly after, she went on to post the usual tiresome nonsense about how society has a "duty" to ignore bad smells if someone is homeless. The fruits of her labor were predicted before they flowered

This lady literally just posting a picture of her PhD thesis and the entire global right wing movement losing their collective minds over it for a month as a result

What I don't understand about this is what do Suburbanites think will happen to their lives if the American Empire crumbles? There's almost no scenario where anyone actually benefits.

In college, I spent a lot of my humanities classes learning about how systems of exclusion work and damage society. In real life, I've learned systems of exclusion are foundational to a good life

One reason why Costco is so popular among working and lower middle class, especially families and the elderly. The membership program turns the store into a sanctuary from miscreants:

One of my least favorite discourses is how disdainful academia is of lower classes. You can't easily prove it. But just try to date someone with a PhD if you went to a technical school or see how seriously you're taken if you grew up poor* by those with higher education

I don't mean to be rude here, but if this is the sort of calculation you can't stomach, don't bother yourself with international politics or warfare. There's no way around this. It's fine if that is to your temperament, good even. Just means this isn't a field you can enter.

If you could see my look of utter defeat at the idea someone genuinely found Orwell or Steinbeck difficult to read

Yes she did make such a claim, as it's of an ethical nature and when someone brought up how this conflicts with duties to the neurodivergent, highly sensitive to smells, the ensuing conversation was about how these duties interact and conflict

The worst aspect of all of this is that having difficulty finding a job because you got named after a dictator isnt even remotely close to the discrimination people actually face. She'd know this is she actually talked to people who have experienced racism which she clearly hasnt

>We need to centerracial injustices & make it a part of every aspect of our curriculum >Why are the kids so obsessed with race? About the level of self-awareness I'd expect from the types claiming it's a social construct and the best thing to do is add more lumber to build with

I will (almost) always defend a Mutual* and Swann is a solid guy. He has his heart in the right place and dragging him for being worried about sincerely worrying for American prosperity is just not what I'm into. He's a good guy who made bad calls. Happens to the best of us

Btw @SwannMarcus89 has lost 2.4K followers in the 24 hours since he locked his account in disgrace, an average of 100 every hour. Shall we go back through a week of his predictions? I thought it would be funny to keep a record.
