America hits peak anti-intellectualism: Majority of Republicans now think college is bad

The more intolerable thing about this, is that a lot of this anti-intellectualism is being driven Koch brothers funded think tanks to undermine climate science. They're subverting education for more profit.

>be republican in college
>literally get FAILED OUT OF SOCIOLOGY BECAUSE I DISAGREED WITH THE HYPER LIB PROFESSOR
This was when I realized that I didn't belong on this earth.

learning is just a google search away. There's no need for colleges anymore.

>They're subverting education for more profit.

State socialists have been ruled the ivory tower for decades. It's no wonder why Republicunts are skeptical.

>Sociology

Fucking hell watch out for Dr. Brain over here

>pay three billion dollars to turn your child into a tranny
>complain
>"oh my god republicans are so anti-intellectual!!!"

Why don't colleges just prepare people to get jobs?

College is hyper political, expensive, and pushes useless degrees.

>act like smug elitist cunts and blackball dissent
>cry foul when people get tired of your shit

AGW is just a weapon to push white genocide, so overpopulation in Africa and the resulting migration streams can be pushed as climate refugees.

Colleges are by and large worse than useless.

Republicans know what is up.
Academia has become completely compromised. the social and political 'sciences' are well well and truly fucked beyond all repair. Nothing short of some type of reformation will get us out of the civilizational decline we are in.
t. academic

...

Good. College is a big part of the problem.

hey yo

I dropped out of university to start my own firm, because i couldnt handle the indoctrination and just shut my mouth

Fuck universities, my children will never go there. The less indoctrination camp the better.

>salon
im sure this is a non-biased and trust worthy news source.

>implying college is even useful anymore

I always find it interesting how the least intellectual people tend to be the ones declaring everyone who disagrees with them to be anti-intellectual.

You mean there is no use for useless garbage degrees being a college course?

In my country go to to university and study isn't like before(and I'm not talking about progres).
If those guys have succes with other way it's okay

recent grad here, economics with finance emphasis, voted donald trump, gf and my anniversary on November 8th

college is a fucking scam, only good if your major is good and you networked. outside of SJW cancer, you are forced to jump through bureaucratic hoops like a drone. Had I not thrown my wait with board of trusties, VPs, and deans while being aggressive as fuck in petitions, I would not have graduated in time as every school tries to negate transfer and AP/IB credits to leech more from your loan/parents

>Being anti college is now anti-intellectual
>You NEED an institution in order to learn, its literally impossible otherwise

HOL UP HOL UP HOL UP

Well, look at what comes out of college. Frankenpenises and Neo-vaginas.

>could even get assaulted for such thing

Yeah i can see why they don't like colleges...

You belong on this earth brother. Don't ever let these kikes make you feel bad for being you.

That's actually creative though

>paying for 4-8 years of adult day care with mandatory alternative history and "why it's important to chop your dick off" courses to get a meme degree in feminist dance therapy

yeah that's totally worth it m8.

just stupid to think some obscure degree will do anything for you i have a BA in Systematic Theology i work in the oilfield 32 bucks an hour

Trade school is way better than eternal debt. Ask greece

Liberals have been pushing their agenda in universities for decades. Republicans not wanting to go to liberal cesspool colleges does not make us stupid. Why would anyone want to go there and be indoctrinated? Republican only colleges when?

I don't think they necessarily anti-education as headlines try to imply but that they might view those institutions as failing, political and too mixed with moneyed interests.

I thought the Koch were pretty free-market with their views. You should see some historical stuff related to Horace Mann making education a public institution away from the profit system, its interesting how the results because quite mixed.

Really? I do very well in those classes even leaning libertarian. I just kinda give them what they want but classes like Psychology or History I took have focused more on the ideas and theories crafted over the centuries rather than a modern political agenda.

>In college
>didn't vote last election
>studying literature, american history, and political science
>have good friends, avoid SJW shit
>Most professors are liberal, hate trump, etc. but are still pretty damn smart
>gonna try to become a teacher after I graduate
I don't get all the hate. It's not for everyone, and I think it should be way fucking cheaper than it is. But for what it is, it's fine. The college boogeyman meme needs to end.

American colleges have turned into playgrounds for the children of wealthy forieners and blacks with sports scholarships.

You do, they don't. Keep it straight, friend.

Here's the thing. Most republicans know that while a degree can be helpful it's not a necessity. They also understand how the world, business, and money works. Liberals on the other hand are oblivious to all of this and think happy feelings and wishing on a star is how you make it in the world. Which is why they buy into the bullshit highschool and their broke/financially struggling under-educated parents tell them about going to college as the key to success.
And it doesn't help that so many college students are going for degrees in shit that they know they can't apply in a way to gain wealth.

>making wise life decisions is consider anti intellectualism

Why do leftists push college education on everyone, but love mentioning rich, successful dropouts?

ey
yow
ey yow
you wanna piece a me?

And they're right. It's outrageously overpriced, most of the courses are filled with completely worthless material, and they've been turned into marxist indoctrination centres.

>"lib-ehr-ulls"
Leftists are not liberals, don't perpetuate that title for them to use as a cover.

Back to Tumblr faggot

Good goy, uni are full of sjw, don't go there, don't study

Not my major, it was just a prereq

This. Our universities are brainwashing institutions and terrorist camps. They take in naive young people and spit out militant social justice warriors, happy to threaten lives and destroying property if they think it is justified.

Intro to Sociology (AKA leftist doctrine 101) is a required subject for most majors general credits.
It can be okay if you have a decent professor who doesnt turn it into a pulpit to preach his personal politics from (actually had one admit there was a biological racial difference once). Unfortunatley like 8 out of 10 Sociology professors are leftover hippies from the 60's and you find yourself having to do assignments like "Write a 10 page essay on why black crime is caused by whites."

I had one who LOVED loaded essay questions in which the only answer was to agree with him. Hiss essay prompts essentially boiled down to "Is my personal political opinion correct because of A or is it correct because of B."

if youre not studying STEM then you are litterally a fucking phaggot retard who sucks foggot cack

Often what people call 'Aniti-intellectual' -- if you dig deeper is merely Anti-semitism.

Nobody has anything against learning and becoming knowledgeable. Being learned is respected. being a scholar has never been looked down on.

It this 'intellectualism' that grates. It's a destructive mental masterbation, that seeks to destroy.

To learn what is known and advance that knowledge is very different from trying to constantly 'deconstruct' everything.. creating a state of perpetual confusion and conflict. This isn't helpful or healthy in any way, and people are correct to look at it with suspicion.

Why can't we have colleges setup that are free from propaganda though?
Why are they all run by lefty radicals?

College is great if most people do STEM, nursing, accounting, or some other applied trade. Instead the bacc core is full of bullshit classes and social justice retardation. I have great respect for actual science, but the majority of liberal arts morons are advocates posing as scientists.

Gender studies professors have been trying to lobby to change the scientific process from one that values deductive thinking and empiricism to one that acknowledges subjective human experiences.

Colleges are tearing themselves apart with liberal groupthink.

College students are graduating with enormous debt and no marketable skills.

People who think that college is necessary are only right if the snowflakes pick STEM or other trade based skills.

>DEFEND OUR PROGROMS FILTHY WHITE CRACKA!
The College of Basket Weaving and Hispanic Lesbian Transgender Studies needed to have died long ago.

>he doesnt blatantly lie to pass his exams

You already know what they want to hear. You just complement that with some theory and there you passed

"If you're against college, you're against intellectual curiosity" is a lazy strawman, even for Salon.

The only thing I learned in college was how to drastically increase my alcohol tolerance.

If college were good, then we wouldn't have a trillion dollars in outstanding student loan debt.

>TFW fell for the IT security/cyber-security meme degree

Biggest waste of time and money in my life

>Why are they all run by lefty radicals?
It's funny because for the msot part it isn't even the fucking teachers or the college, it's the -students-.

Remember Berkeley invited stupid faggots like Milo to speak.

This shit wouldn't even be an issue if they just STFU and didn't go.

Shut the fuck up, nigger.

>Republican only colleges when?
It's called department of engineering. Haven't ever met a single liberal.

Fuck off dude, humanities are damn worth studying. Not to mention that STEM degrees are flooding the market and will become Law Degree 2.0.

"Lefties" are usually smarter/better educated and therefore more likely to do academic jobs.

Still has a better chance of monetizing his degree than humanities dept degrees.

The majority of America's intelligentsia never went to college. Lincoln. Whitman dropped out of school at 11. Edison. Gates. Among others.

The university didn't invite him, it was a Republican students group.

Are you fucking retarded? Your brain has been savaged by victimhood. Consider suicide. You won't accomplish a damn thing in life anyway.

PAY MY COLLEGE DEBT

I DIDN'T KNOW A MAJOR IN GENDER STUDIES WOULD LEAVE ME WITHOUT ANY CAREER PROSPECTS

I deserve to have others pay for my 4 years of education in marxist thought!

That must be why they make so much money...

Are you sure you didn't fail because you sucked? Try studying next time.

>Your rights end where my feelings begin
Ironic.

Just look at all that safe space and hurt feelings.

education is bad if you're anti intellectual.

winning!

>College
>Having anything to do with intellectualism

>anti-intellectualism
That's the left. Always has been and always will. The right is not defined by religious fools.

No, it is they that don't belong. Their brains aren't calibrated to reality.

>america is literally breeding retards
don't worry bro, eastern europe is here to pick up progress when you will collapse

It must be really easy to not be a man, for you.

They are highly submissive
to established authority, aggressive in the name of that authority, and conventional to
the point of insisting everyone should behave as their authorities decide. They are
fearful and self-righteous and have a lot of hostility in them that they readily direct
toward various out-groups. They are easily incited, easily led, rather un-inclined to
think for themselves, largely impervious to facts and reason, and rely instead on social
support to maintain their beliefs. They bring strong loyalty to their in-groups, have
thick-walled, highly compartmentalized minds, use a lot of double standards in their
judgments, are surprisingly unprincipled at times, and are often hypocrites.
But they are also Teflon-coated when it comes to guilt. They are blind to
themselves, ethnocentric and prejudiced, and as closed-minded as they are narrow-
minded. They can be woefully uninformed about things they oppose, but they prefer
ignorance and want to make others become as ignorant as they. They are also
surprisingly uninformed about the things they say they believe in

>rural retard enters the thread

Money is very closely related to age, so is voting republican. Anyone who posted the pic of two circled graphs is LITERALLY a rural and suburban retard for not realizing this.

To make a fair comparison you need to compare people of the same age which is hard to do.

Jew detected.

Amerifats have a different system over there. They will get indoctrinated no matter what. Over here every major has their own building so the side effect is that we don't come into contact with libtard students or their professors. Sadly there is a strong initiative to change that and it's only a matter of time before we adapt the Bologna Process.

The majority of bachelor's degree programs are excessively wasteful and at best only moderately prepare your for entry into any career.

College degrees aren't translating into earning power anymore. The student loan debt will be the next bubble to pop.

Cling on you parasites.

The reality of these subsidized debt farm day care centers can't be hidden forever.

It's a mandatory class in american colleges in your first two years. Along with a "social" class, like women studies or african american studies. Not even joking.

You have a source on that picture?

Nigger you couldn't pass Chem 1 at a state uni

Did you go to one of those degree mill Devry clones?
If your college has a commercial that runs during Jerry Springer don't go there.

Why do people keep pushing this gender studies meme?
The most popular majors are still:
>1. Business
>2. Pyschology
>3. Nursing
>4. Biology
>5. Teaching/Education
>6. Criminal Justice
>7. Accounting
>8. Humanities
>9. English/Literature
>10. History

The vast majority of college grads go the practical route and get fucked. Let's not obscure the issue by blaming a small minority of grads that might as well not exist.

Thank you brother, learn from our mistakes.

If only you understood the power trip some professors go on. Particularly female professors. They don't want critical thought they want to parrots. Then imagine if they're tenured they can do and say whatever they want because they're the "intellectual" try disagreeing with the next blatantly biased professor see how well that turns out.

>College degrees aren't translating into earning power anymore
They actually do in the US way more than any other country. Nowhere else is like pic related (first result for earnings with education us.

>Go to college
>$70k in debt, have to do an unpaid internship to get experience and then get a graduate job paying $50something-k/year
>Or if you're not good enough to get a job, work at a supermarket or coffee shop
>Go to trade school/do apprenticeship
>Earn Body is fucked by the time you're 35
>Don't go to college or do an apprenticeship
>Work at a fast food restaurant for the rest of your life

there is no winning this ugly game

America is experiencing the Western Version of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, challenge and disregard authority, overthrow traditional culture, values and intellectualism and of course mindless recitals of empty platitudes.

Come twenty to forty years time the Western world will be littered with unwashed barbarians who will shit in streets, cut queues and little common sense or civility and they will all be praising how progressive their society is.
