Campus Reform: Students Support Socialism- Until It's Applied To Their GPA
Ignorant, stupid, hypocritical children.
"But I study all day for my grade!!"
No shit, Sherlock. And people work all day to earn their pay!! Fucking idiots. Listen to the stupid shit coming out of your ignorant face. Do you hear yourself??? I wanted to jump through the screen and bitch slap all of them.
Just listen to the monumental hypocrisy of the remarks all throughout this video. My God.

When it's something I've worked for, they're happy giving it away. When it's something they've worked for, whoa whoa whoa! I'm not giving that away! LOL

I couldn't watch the whole video. Way too much stupidity!
I assume those being interviewed were actual college students. What a sad commentary on the "quality" of their education!
I recall a similar thing from several years ago, when the end result was something like, "Why would I share my grade? I worked hard for that grade!
The interviewer's response was, "Welcome to capitalism".

To paraphrase PJ O’Rourke:
“The good news is that, according to socialists, the rich will pay for everything. The bad news is that, according to socialists, you’re rich.”
Stupid whiny-ass kids need to get a clue.

Instead of offering to make those wannabe socialists share their gpa’s with other students, they should have been told that they would share the fruits of their education with less fortunates that can not afford to pay their way into college. Let’s say, “unable or unwilling”, to quote their heroine from the Bronx. You know, the actual poor people on the street. Then you’d REALLY see some waffling and backpedaling...if not some outright “hell no! I PAID for this!”.
Hypocritical little shits.

That video shows pure indoctrination. Those kids have no clue what they are supporting but are convinced it's the best.

For way to long they've been indoctrinated into what to think,not taught HOW to think.

Just more video evidence that college is utterly worthless at this point given its turning out a majority of these morons with 'zero' thinking skills.
As I told my nephew who doesn't attend college but has a good job (and future) working for UPS, I weep for what he and others like him are going to have to deal with over the next 20-30 years when it comes to offsetting these nitwits.

Socialism only appeals to those who stand to gain. In other words, those who cannot or will not compete in a free market and those who hope to thrive from the tyranny of others.

This is exactly why I became a conservative. My mom is on the liberal side, my dad leans right, but they aren't very political people. But at a young age I realized the hypocrisy of the left when it came what was "theirs". They suddenly all thought just like I did when it came to their money.
Don't weep for the stupid, or you will be crying all day

I couldn't watch the whole video......I was screaming at my monitor!!! That is like watching Racheal Madcow, only younger and more uninformed.

I don't know if I want to grab and shake them or just punch them in the throat. Very happy to give away what isn't their's but don't be touching their stuff.

I have had similar discussions with other students on campus. It's fun to see the light-bulb turn on in their heads when you get them to actually reason through what they are saying.
The downside is that most of them turn right back around to the mantra that they are spewing these days.... Russia, impeach, green new deal, climate change catastrophe (watch for this one, it's gaining strength). The few of them that actually are willing to continue to have a conversation and continue to talk about other topics with me give me hope for the next generation. I have even been successful in some of these discussions with an adjunct professor.

I suspect you're mistaken. Most college students today have never worked for anything in their entire lives. They don't know the value of money because someone else has always paid for their everything.
I raised my kid the way I was raised - he had to work for EVERYTHING he wanted. Since he graduated from college, his friends from high school have all either dropped out of college and are still living with their parents, or actually completed their "education" and are now back living with their folks. My son doesn't enjoy hanging out with them anymore because since they know he's working full time, they think he should pay for everything when they go out.
My wife and I socialized with their parents, and I shared the idea that I think it's a mistake to not teach your kids how to get a job, save for the things they want, learn the value of a dollar, and develop the self-esteem that comes from being self sufficient. They became rather angry with me and insisted that since they "love" their kids, they want to "help" them financially. I wonder if they ever think back to those conversations now - now that their kids are thoroughly dependent on them still - at age 25 yrs old.
I even shared with them an old parable that my father shared with me: One day, two baby eagles were sitting in their nest discussing how great life is. They talked about the excellent view they had from the nest high up on the side of a cliff, and how every day, mom would bring food for them. Yes, life sure was grand. About then, mom flew back to the nest and fed them. Then, she did something unthought of - she picked each of them up and threw them over the side of the nest. As they were falling to their imminent deaths, they squawked and asked each other why mom didn't love them anymore. Just at the last moment, mom swooped underneath them and flew them safely back up to the nest. They surmised that mom had just had a momentary lapse of reason, and they were glad that nightmare was over. But, to their utter dismay, mom did it again! "She's nuts!" they cried, but once again she saved them at the last minute. When she did it for a third time, they realized they couldn't trust mom anymore, and they tried to emulate her movements as she flew away, and they discovered they could fly, too!
I asked the parents, "Did the momma eagle 'love' the baby eagles by putting them in danger like that, or would she love them if she just let them live in the nest for the rest of her life?"
But, it fell on deaf ears. Today I wonder if they bought their kids the best of everything for status sake? "If Joey's parents bought him the latest i-phone, and we don't buy our kid the latest i-phone, how will that make us look?"
But, the bottom line is, almost none of the kids in my son's graduating class are out of the nest, and neither do they know how to fly.
Of all the enemies the American citizen faces, the Democrat Party is the very worst.

Those kids are so stupid they don't even know they're stupid.
