And yet it turned into a conformity factory and torture center, the equal of any CIA black site.

I can tell you were one of the popular kids. I get it, school was wonderful for you. You probably have a great deal of nostalgia.

Never in my life have I heard such a stalwart and organized defense of conformity factories. You can tell who were the torturers and who were the victims very easily.

One of the greatest things the working class ever lost.

Having their children tortured and reprogrammed to regurgitate the ruling class line. The conformity factory. Winning bigly!

It is indicative. More people have horrible experiences in school than have good ones. That’s a fact.

Me? These issues are widely reported and experienced by everyone (except the popular kids, of course - if you’re one of those I can see why you don’t get it). And I was cishet. Imagine what it’s like for BIPOC or LGBT kids. A thousand times worse.

The problem that people apparently think government schools are some kind of good place where children are not routinely tortured and belittled by the other children. Really surprised people aren’t familiar with this. Schools are a hellscape of suffering.

That’s what it looks like to me. “Mass death among less grievable subjects.” The people who endorsed conspiracy theories died like flies and nobody felt the least bit bad.

1. Capitalism has nothing to do with it, we’re talking about government schools.

2. Whataboutism.
