fuckin hell

A lot of these hipster OccupyWallStreet nitwits posting photos of their debt-laden lamentations online (sometimes accompanied by ridiculously pretentious props like manual ribbon typewriters) are targeting the wrong bad guys. The Wall Street bailouts and securitized mortgage repackagings were bad, to be sure, and I wouldn’t mind a day-of-the-rope for a lot of these cognocryptic leeches, but if you look at the OWS complaints you’ll see that a common thread is the neck-deep debt they’ve incurred from student loans.

Yo, braheems, word of advice: you should be directing your righteous rage against the professors, faculty and admin of your chosen school of hard ownage. You went there, they gave you a shitty, useless libtarts degree and saddled you with mounds of debt. You compounded that debt because the college experience just wouldn’t be intellectual enough if you didn’t splurge on status whoring necessities like $5 lattes and Macbook pros. Now the world is changing with smart and industrious billion-plus Chinese coming on board to gut the value of your social media relations dreamjobs that you and the rest of the country wants and you’re pissed about it. Truth is, the university system is the droid you’re looking for.

But no, you’ll obey your leftie professors’ marching orders and fall back on tired old protest cliches, railing against the finance fat cats when the more pertinent oppressors (in your cases) are the monopolists who run academia and the federal government which subsidizes their bust-the-inflation curve tuition hike increases with giveaway loan programs. Coupled with the credentialist zeitgeist pushing idiots into college and open borders human capital depreciation that devalues vocational work and college degrees alike, the academia fleecing steamrolls through your future. And you lash out impotently.

Maybe next time you’re in class, or thinking about that alumni donation, you might want to remember this. A more fitting protest would be reclaiming your parents’ hard-earned dollars spent on useless gadgets with engineered obsolescence and degrees with hopeless prospects. Call it Occupy Cupertino. You can solemnly hold up your iPhones with a burning dollar flickering on the screen.

no one made them get a shit arts degree

 

[cosmo kramer]

yeah but the education uber allies crowd did encourage them to go to college and severely circumscribed viable alternatives for many

credentialist zeitgeist pushing idiots into college

at any rate if you pay attention to the logic of what i just pasted hes saying that they should apply the same reasoning (their reasoning) theyre pushing on the loan companies onto the universities instead

 

[boris]

university should only be for doctors, engineers and scientists?

 

[cosmo kramer]

no

far fewer people should be going though

 

[boris]

protest against record high standards of living

 

[boris]

protest against letting massive financial institutions fail and reducing us to poverty for years

then

protest against having bailed out the massive financial institutions

 

[boris]

protest about having to pay a mortgage and student loans

 

[Blastus]

protest about spending $80k to get an arts degree

 

[boris]

protest about not getting a job with an arts degree after being told by your career advisor to not get an arts degree because it will make you unemployable

 

[boris]

i am legitimately scared that we will regress to socialism if this downturn lasts much longer

there is more at stake than just money

 

[cosmo kramer]

more like an advisor would never tel lyou that

an advisor is probably more likely to tell you to stop fooling around with those car engines and go get a degree in gender studies if you want a chance at being successful and making a decent living

remember even the most unacademically minded person to anybody on the teachers faculty (well especially the women) can become an einstein if he just applies himself and works hard in school

esp. if he's a member of certain ethnic minority groups

 

[boris]

[cosmo kramer]

victims of egalitarianism
