I just switched my electrical contractor that does work at my job like every other day. Dude was making a grand a week easily just on the jobs I was giving him. Then he drives in one day with the maple maga bumper stickers and the anti science bullshit. Haven’t called him back in over 5 weeks, there are plenty of contractors out there and they’re not all nuts
Ok, but look at Harvard's alumni. They seem to be the number one producer of real life super villains.
You mean being an nbc comedy writer??
A large chunk of US politicians, US SC Justices, and business leaders. Kissinger, Bush II, Gates, Zuckerburg, Bloomberg...
Skim through this list and see if you think Havard is a net gain or net loss for humanity.
Not just in colleges, but everywhere. I own a business, and I wouldn't hire someone who is openly MAGA. Clearly they are ignorant, make poor choices, and are easy to manipulate, and I don't want them to be responsible for any aspect of my business.

I work in the O&G industry. Quite a few of the rank and file office folks are vanilla liberals. The senior execs are all Christian MAGA.
Silicon Valley has the same problem. The professional working class is liberal, while the senior sex pest corporate ice chewers are all in the same insane Scientology cults and Mormon tabernacle choirs and Longtermist Transhuman Collectives.
I've seen the same dynamic in health care, professional sports, Big Law, finance, heavy industry...
Great that you managed to break into the club as a Normal. But I don't see a future where I'm sitting on the board of a Fortune 500 corporation. A notable reason why is that I'm not working my way up the chain at Opus Dei.
Seems a bit pointless because if you know someone who's a giant piece of shit like that you probably already aren't doing any of those things, but I respect the intention
Or you are, but you don't have much of a choice in the matter, because their parents sit on the Board of Governors or sponsor the Frat or otherwise are the people you got into Harvard to suck up to.
It's like telling a young Mark Zuckerberg not to be nice to the Winklevoss Twins. He's not doing it because he likes them. He's doing it to leverage their family connections and wealth. Literally the whole reason anyone goes to Ivy League schools to begin with.
Sucking up to those people like that is one of the grossest things I can imagine doing. No fancy job title is worth that self-flagellation
We have moved a bit past 'affiliating with' and are well into 'being' when it comes to the fascism thing.
Seeing as everyone is in their own social media echo chamber now and are separate offline it won't really matter.
Just as a slice of it, going to r/conservative is so eye opening. They ignore or ban any news that would directly conflict with conservative beliefs as they once were so they don't have to confront any of it, celebrate anything that makes the left look bad, and openly gargle Trump cum in every post as a badge of honor. It's a truly disgusting little place.
They literally believe the left is just showing their insanity by calling everything fascism. It's what their media tells them too. To them, this is the authoritarian, violent left and these types of actions only confirm their biases.
