Were are in the top ten at number 6. Yes but the fuck has that to do with the shambles of the American education system?

Oh I forgot you find it difficult to just discuss. Snidely unfounded remarks are all you can do. Ask your friend 42 what he thinks. I am quite sure he can come up with s suitable excuse.

Why shouldn't my kids get a leg up from me? What the fuck kind of father wouldn't do that? If I can use money, or friendship, or Masonic membership, or private, personal photographs of a questionable nature to get them a break I'll gladly do it. Fuck the rest of y'all, get your own shit like I did. That said, I've told both my kids to fuck college, it's a goddamn scam by the government and their corporate generalissimo masters to put you in debt you'll never pay off, on the ridiculous promise of some wonderful life you're never going to get. You'll be a perfect little drone, eating your non-GMO gluten-free Cheerios, buying that time share in Maui (hey, you can trade with people from ALL over the world and we'll buy carbon offsets!), and voting for Bernie or Hillary or Donald or AOC, all of whom suck the same big fucking bag of corporo-military cocks. Doesn't matter if you're a Trumpanzee or a BernieBro, you'll feel all good and righteous and shit, but you'll still pay off that loan, and you'll still send them your taxes, and you'll still argue inane bullshit online like you actually have any fucking effect on any of it. Distracts you from picking up the pitchforks and torches, homes. This is their fucking PLAN. So turn on, tune in, and drop out. That's what i told the kids to do, and it's good advice for everyone.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Lest that be taken as a 'Murikan only rant, all y'all Eurotrash are just as fucked. You're as enslaved to the fucking corporate masters and blinded by their psycho-socio-political bullshit as anybody here, and you're just as self-righteously sanctimonious about it as any 'Murika Firster. Biggest difference is you don't even get a pickup or a fucking gun. Ozzies are usually too drunk to care, and live in Upsidedown Bumfuck anyway.

Lak: and voting for Bernie or Hillary or Donald or AOC, all of whom suck the same big fucking bag of corporo-military cocks.

But do they? Or is the Democratic party just generally 90% cock suckers, so no real change is possible?

Bernie clearly isn't a corporatist.

Bernie is the fucking BEST kind of corporatist, a stealth corporatist. He's bought and paid for just like all the rest of them. It doesn't fucking matter what any of them SAY, they all DO exactly the same fucking thing. What happened to the Great Black Hope, anyway? Just another corporate Uncle Tom, doin' that handjive and a'swallerin' down that multinational jizz. Hillary? Jesus, that woman never saw a doller bill she wouldn't suck off. As long as you believe there's any ultimate difference in any of them you're deluded. It's all for fucking show. Brexit, Iraq, Sadaam, Vlad, it's all part of the Great and Secret Show, and we're the country rubes in the cheap seats, waitin' on the 'rasslin match. Sheeeit, Cletus, lookit THAT!

That's not to say they couldn't just up and blow us all to shit, it's not as organized as all that. More like a loose association of millionaires and billionaires and despots with (usually) coinciding and probably co-dependent goals. Like - they get all the good pussy and 'spensive shit and we pay for it.

Meritocracy is a myth invented by the rich
The elite college admissions scandal in the US is a reminder that wealth, not talent, is what determines the opportunities you have in life

The US college admissions scandal is fascinating, if not surprising. Over 30 wealthy parents have been criminally charged over a scheme in which they allegedly paid a company large sums of money to get their children into top universities. The duplicity involved was extreme: everything from paying off university officials to inventing learning disabilities to facilitate cheating on standardized tests. One father even faked a photo of his son pole vaulting in order to convince admissions officers that the boy was a star athlete.

It’s no secret that wealthy people will do nearly anything to get their kids into good schools. But this scandal only begins to reveal the lies that sustain the American idea of meritocracy. William “Rick” Singer, who admitted to orchestrating the scam, explained that there are three ways in which a student can get into the college of their choice: “There is a front door which is you get in on your own. The back door is through institutional advancement, which is 10 times as much money. And I’ve created this side door.” The “side door” he’s referring to is outright crime, literally paying bribes and faking test scores. It’s impossible to know how common that is, but there’s reason to suspect it’s comparatively rare. Why? Because for the most part, the wealthy don’t need to pay illegal bribes. They can already pay perfectly legal ones.

People often speak about “equality of opportunity” as the American aspiration. But having anything close to equal opportunity would require a radical re-engineering of society from top to bottom. As long as there are large wealth inequalities, there will be colossal differences in the opportunities that children have. No matter what admissions criteria are set, wealthy children will have the advantage. If admissions officers focus on test scores, parents will pay for extra tutoring and test prep courses. If officers focus instead on “holistic” qualities, pare. It’s simple: wealth always confers greater capacity to give your children the edge over other people’s children. If we wanted anything resembling a “meritocracy”, we would probably have to start by instituting full egalitarian communism.

Equality. Please. :funny: :funny: :funny: :funny: :funny: :funny:
This issue is one of the most damning features of modern capitalist societies. The US may have a more extreme version of it, but in all modern western societies, if you are from a wealthy family, your path in life is automatically easier. The myth of the poor child rising to own a major corporation is like a golden carrot dangled in front of the brainwashed workers...

if Bernie actually isn't a deep-cover agent and he actually does get elected they'll just kill him.
