Matt!

Agreed. It’s crazy to think that people can’t educate themselves simply because they can’t afford it. Every single person should have the opportunity to pursue an academic/professional path.

That’s not correct. AI might reshape how academic fields operate, but it won’t make them obsolete, not even close. In fact, fields like ethics, education, psychology and philosophy are now more important than ever because of AI. If anything it broadens the scope of those fields, not erases them. Remember that AI doesn’t generate new knowledge or think/reason like humans. It predicts patterns based on existing data, that’s it.

Please explain.

I genuinely can’t wrap my head around how stupid these people are.

This 100%.

University isn’t trade school. You don’t just go to memorize facts, it’s about growth. It’s about expanding how you think, learning to collaborate, building networks, thinking critically and being exposed to new ideas, cultures, and perspectives. You don’t just leave with a degree, you leave better equipped to understand the world and function in it. That’s not a scam, that’s growth. You don’t learn that online. Because if you don’t develop those skills, you’ll always be a sheep, waiting for someone else to tell you what to do. ssstwitter.com_1753475195108.mp4

Depends on the kind of production capability you mean. China may lead in overall manufacturing volume, but pumping out rifles and ammo doesn’t win modern wars. The U.S still leads in advanced military technology, global defense exports and high-end R&D. Sure, wars aren't won by most advanced weapons alone, strategy, logistics and politics matter as well. But advanced systems "don’t matter"? If you can strike from 1000 miles away while the other guy is still loading his RPG, that’s not a minor advantage, it’s decisive. Arms manufacturers exaggerate to some extent to boost sales, but dismissing technological superiority entirely is its own kind of delusion.

Yes, there are inefficiencies and problems (efficiency varies a lot depending on the program, branch, and contracting method) in the system. However, the U.S still produces some, if not the most advanced and effective weapons systems in the world with a defense industrial base that remains a global leader in production capacity. So, I’d say calling the entire production "grossly inefficient" is an overgeneralization.

Pretty much this.

Yeah, didn’t take a genius to figure it out. I’ll translate it for you: "If she says the right things, she will go free".

Agreed, propaganda exists everywhere, but calling a convicted child trafficker a "victim" isn’t just spin, it’s morally bankrupt. There’s a difference between bias and outright rewriting reality.

The U.S Department of Education was established in 1979. Before that comparisons of international education systems were extremely limited and not standardized, so no legit global ranking put the U.S at #1 or Top 10 in any verified way. Standards have been adjusted over time, mostly to accommodate modern roles like tech-based warfare (parade drone guy has probably never seen the weight room, but he can do more damage on the battlefield than group of marines.) Conservative media and Pete uses “woke” as a catch-all for any effort to diversify or modernize. DEI programs are about making sure the best talent doesn’t get excluded because of race, gender or background not about lowering standards. Forget the previous line for a second, let’s quickly compare the current and former SecDefs. Lloyd Austin served 41 years in the Army, retired as a 4-star General and led CENTCOM. Pete Hegseth left the National Guard as a Major after a few years and spent the last decade ranting on Fox & Friends. So tell me, who looks like the "DEI hire" here?

You say they value education, but red states consistently defund public schools and push anti-teacher agendas. You say they value jobs, yet fight unions, block wage increases and rank highest in poverty. You say they wave flags for military, firefighters and police but scream "deep state" and "feds are corrupt" when things don’t go their way. What part of that is "value" ?

I know what you mean. Except MSNBC and CNN aren’t out here calling convicted child traffickers "victims". That’s not "yang", that’s propaganda.

This.

And what would that be?

Is this how it starts? Now she’s being called a "victim"? This scumbag got 20 years in federal prison for sex trafficking and crimes involving minors. Is this the first step towards softening her image so Donald can pardon her later? @Stromboli1 You probably know Newsmax so please be kind and educate me on the matter.

Sure, politics is downstream, but last time I checked South Park started way before (1997?) your "last 15 years" culture war kickoff.

Also, what do you mean they don’t understand? Most MAGA folks have "Christ first" in their Twitter bios. Last night’s desert segment was an obvious biblical reference, so how can they not understand it? Unless "Christ first" just means putting it in your bio without ever attending church or opening a Bible.

You grew up watching South Park though.
