ok now I can’t tell if you posted this to dunk on the writer or Piker lol. but I’ll assume you’re trying to dunk on Piker. graduated cum laude (on financial aid because I’m poor) and I was not a good student, all you need to do is get a B average, it’s not some special thing. to me that just sounds like he had enough money to go to a good school. I used to work with a total dip shit who went to Columbia just because his dad is some pharmaceutical executive and could afford it. just having rich parents and going to a good school doesn’t make you an academic. and I’m not saying Piker didn’t benefit from nepotism I literally said he wouldn’t be famous if it wasn’t for his uncle and his good looks lmao, but this whole piece is just “I hate this nominally leftish rich guy so let me use my new college classes to justify it”. I think he sucks too but I don’t need to bring up Singer or Maslow to justify it

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
