I was thinking last night about how history is going to remember the Somalians in the way we remember the Huns and Mongols today.
 
This is generally true yes. But without the ability to discharge student debt through bankruptcy (like you can do for any other debt) there is no safety valve on the industry public or private. If universities couldn't be paid with dollars on protected loans you'd eventually have tons of people defaulting then discharging it through bankruptcy. In the longterm this would be good because it would let the market act on the issue.

Oh the university is charging insane prices that the lenders can't get their money back on? Guess what happens, lenders stop providing that money and the universities are forced to lower prices to attract more students. Lenders would then have to do risk analysis on the degree programs they are willing to fund.

With these protections none of this happens and it's just up, up, up!
Very true. These are the same scumbags who have been rigging the system for so long that they should consider themselves lucky if they only get hung out to dry financially and not hung out by the neck from a tree branch. To be clear, I'm definitely not against it as long as the Universities and Financial institutions aren't compensated by the tax payer.

Of course all of this is also just one arm that is the evil of the Federal Reserve's fiat debt slavery currency, but that's another discussion.
 
A huge issue with college is that our current economy, the one these kids were being led down was not in any way productive.
This really is the long and short of it. The dance therapy majors and musicians could have found a niche if they had a factory to work part time at and enough upper-middle class people willing to pay for their services at events and shit.

Due to tech and logistics, the modern world has enough productivity to stand a few meaningless sperg jobs like that given how much excess we have compared to the "farmer/calorie brun" equation. The problem is those excess funds (and far more) are instead being used to give turd world princes a fleet of cars, giant buildings, and armies filled with shitty chinese military equipment.
 
What's the lowdown on this impending chemical shortage crisis? I'm hearing people in that industry dooming about how shortages of precursors are soon going to make life hard. some even say it will be worse than the 1973 crisis/oil shock.
 
I love people looking at how Iran's spaz out on the straight with all of their Navy and 90% of their launchers gone has hurt the global economy and still think "Yeah them getting nukes is just Israel's problem." Like they wouldn't aim them at all their neighbors and say "there is now a 20% tax on oil that goes to us or nobody has an economy." They literally could have held the world hostage and nothing in there is decades of behavior proving they'd do it.

Did Massie ever release those 20+ client names he said he had a year ago, or is he still grifting over maybe, possibly releasing them if... actually, I can't remember if he actually had a reason for not releasing them.

Who knows if it's the same list he was talking about back then, most of what he talks about Epstein is straight out of his ass, but he did release a bunch of names and they ended up just being similar looking rich people from New York for a line up and completely innocent. The fact that he's allowed to talk at all to the public other than just apologizing is a fucking crime.
 
A huge issue with college is that our current economy, the one these kids were being led down was not in any way productive. The older gens largely screwed the economic realities of the world when the sold off the bulk of the manufacturing to other nations and began giving low-end work jobs to immigrants. This then compounded with our ever-inflating economy, meaning that being a McWagie is not a livable option anymore.
They then doubled-down by over-credentialing the market. Multiple jobs went from easy access and on-job training to you need 4 years and a diploma to prove to general Boomer you are capable of using an Excel spreadsheet. The entire structure of our market is retarded and pushes college on kids as a necessity when none of these careers should need any form of education past high school. It is easy to understand why free college and loan forgiveness are such a big talking point when we built a market that was essentially, get educated or get fucked - while simultaneously increasing the cost of it all.

I am a career software engineer. I never hesitate to tell any would be engineer that 90% of college is completely worthless for the profession. In my entire college career there were exactly 5 classes that were of any use in the field once I left the university. All taught by the same professor. Which says more about him than it does about the education.

The university of today still follows the pattern of Victorian England. Which is why if you are 30 or older you might remember adults telling you to "be well rounded" and other dumb shit as a teenager. Back in the 19th century it didn't really matter what you studied. Being an educated man going out to serve the Empire with a broad and shallow knowledge of worldly topics that the common man simply never learns was enough. Which set you apart.

Not everyone can do software (or any kind) engineering but everything I learned that had any value I learned from free online tutorials. Certainly not in the classroom.

All that is true but we've known all of that was happening for at least 20-25 years. This wasn't a secret to any of those adults agreeing to take out a loan they had to pay back. You know as well as I do that many. many of the people demanding loan forgiveness only went to college for the party experience and didn't even graduate The reason Republicans overwhelmingly oppose it is because Republicans typically tend to be more responsible. Dems are the party of no responsibility. Responsible people sacrificed a lot to pay their own way or at least repay their loans. Loan forgiveness rewards the irresponsible at the expense of the responsible. Even more perverse are the people who didn't even go to college would be forced to pay back your loan when stats say you're goingn to earn millions more over your lifetime (bullshit I know). Loan forgiveness takes money from the poor to give to the rich.

Bankruptcy and the consequences that come with that is the only way.


"Yeah them getting nukes is just Israel's problem." Like they wouldn't aim them at all their neighbors and say "there is now a 20% tax on oil that goes to us or nobody has an economy."
Trump said something incredible in his speech the other night that nobody noticed. He said Iran is using weapons against us and Israel that nobody even knew they had.

That means they could have done all of this any time they wanted to - but they didn't. This fact refutes your argument and the entire justification for the war entirely (days away from nukes - for 40 years).

Now add the Administration reportedly freaking out when the Iranians told them they had a kilo of 60% uranium. They could've already strapped that to dozens of the hypersonics and delivered essentially the same result. They haven't. We've been lied to forever about that.

Six weeks in it is becoming impossible to deny that the Iranians are behaving more rationally than the Americans.

a dead giveaway for this is the constant israel/palestine/gaza sperging.

a proper white nationalist antisemite has absolutely no skin in the game when it comes to these issues. for all i care, the IDF could round up the entire population of gaza and skin them all alive while reciting talmudic incantations over their corpses, it would not concern me one bit.
the jews i care about are typese like marx, trotsky, radek, luxemburg, marcuse, soros, fink, etc: subversive political actors in white nations who erode and undermine our countries from within. any antisemite who does not primarily concern himself with this threat is either brown, muslim, or leftist.
A left wing jew hater wants all funds sent to Israel redirected to Palestine

A right wing jew hater wants all funds sent to Israel redirected back to America
 
So far, the main alternative most bring up is the trades, which in-and-of-itself is becoming oversaturated due to being the alternative, along with Boomtards going for them underpaid Mexicans. I know a Zoomer who entered the trades and struggled with getting into the Union as there are too many now. What really needs to happen is a wider expansion of the market, which Trump is pushing to provide. We need low-end jobs again, which should push out the bloat from colleges of kids just going in so they can land, something? We also need to cut out the "muh education" bullshit. I am tired of older gens treating a college education like some magic that creates ultra capable workers because college just has this thing that you cannot get elsewhere. This entire mentality is both why college is so pushed, but also why our market is filled with "necessary degrees" for otherwise brain-dead jobs.
The "just do trades bro" arguments are stupidly naive at best and downright disingenuous at worst because those reasons. You can find a successful career in blue collar work still, but it's increasingly like any white collar work for a lot of regions: either you get lucky, engage in nepotism, or find that one rural town which somehow still lacks a plumber or electrician. Apprenticeships are damn near impossible to get for certain fields, you will be competing against foreigners undercutting you at every opportunity, and the unions will only take you if you have friends or family already members (and even then it can be a crap shoot). It's not the easy path to riches it was 10-15 years ago.

Market expansion is only half the solution to this problem, the other half is gutting any form of immigration and visa program to remove wage depression. I'd also tack on liquidating the boomers in totality just out of spite (and to start freeing up the housing market), but one step at a time.
 
@Historical Strelkov
The "better metrics" under Trump are merely a strategy used to temporarily appease (white) population to prevent them from rebelling and destroying the entire system that caused the "bad metrics" over the course of past century. The system that includes Trump, Obama, Bush, Epstein, B'nai Brith, ADL and other variations of this vermin.
Basically, if there's Weimar, then create your own astroturfed Hitler and pretend he's "anti-establishment" so the system doesn't get deconstructed entirely.

>White uncapitalized
Opinion discarded until hands posted.

Also we should end federally-backed student loans but not forgive the existing loans. Those should have their interest rates tripled too, fuck'em.

On second thought, also make student loan debt inheritable. Those kids obviously benefited from their mother getting a BS in Zimbabwean Economics with a minor in DEI Studies, so they should have to also pay.

Capitalization autism is Retarded. In fact, what I said already happened in Russia and a bunch of other Eastern European countries.
I wouldn't get tricked into doxing my hands by someone who might easily be an infiltrator affiliated with the vermin. I remind you that your family has very few time left to get out.

"Trump is controlled opposition" only makes sense because online right wingers are lazy and just want to make money doing podcasts.
Literally go get a job at the government or something. We purged a lot of the gay homo faggots last year. Become the deep state.

What gets me is that 90% of the Anti-Semitism you see on twitter is just thinly veiled White hatred by Browns and the retarded Jew spergers don't realize it. Anti-Jew doesn't mean Pro-White and I'm saying this as someone who doesn't like Jews to begin with.
Left wing/brownoid anti semites also love self hating 'anti-Zionist' jews. Sure there might not be any hypocrisy there regarding open borders for everyone except Israel but the 'anti-Zionist' jews are usually the most rabidly anti-white.
