It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I mean, he did get exactly what he asked for then acted all shocked and regretful, but that's still a human being that has been denied access to higher education. This might actually be life ruining for them

I agree with you, he may have helped encourage Milei's election but many people have ridiculous views especially at that age, we're all being scammed by people like Milei everyday. At least he is young enough that he still has time to continue education maybe in a different country or if Argentina reverses these policies.

If Milei himself or other people closer to the origin of these bullshit views suffered some consequences I'd be more inclined to laugh but I don't feel much joy when young people get things fucked for them, even if they are idiots, I know when I was 20 there were beliefs I had that I now see are obviously false.

I mean, what kind of education was he even receiving, of he thought Milei was going to benefit him?

Unfortunate to see all these kids get rug-pulled. But these institutions are producing the agents of their own demise. This guy is probably better of getting proletariatanized than finishing out a degree in PMC U.

The vast majority of education is not explicitly political. This is part of how you get educated people with all sorts of ludicrous political beliefs.

I like it when bad things happen to bad people. there's a lot of pain in the world, someone fucking around and finding out is not on my list people to care about 🤷
