He is right. Critical theory is part of the Frankfurt school. And that is 100 % Marxist. No one in Europe would deny that. The fact that Americans applying CR denies it's Marxism is telling.

This is stupid and ridiculous. When I got a job a well known management consultancy I had to spend a week on personality test, including "IQ test". I ended up in the 99th percentile (they didn't test it more exact than that, in other words, you wouldn't know if you were 99,0, 99,5 or 99,9). I spend a lot of time and energy when I socialise with more average people to dumb myself down as well as restrict myself from skipping ahead in the discussion. That doesn't mean that I have a "diagnosis", despite my "condition" (high IQ) being more uncommon than your condition. And no, you don't get tired, neither mentally or physically, from this. Maybe you get bored, but that isn't a medical issue.
You are stupid and lazy, simple as that. And the people that will downvote this will do so because they are snowflakes that are unable to argue rationally with me, and therefore have to fall back to downvoting.
The reason people live paycheck-to-paycheck is that they are stupid. The reason people are leftish is that they are stupid.
(Even on minimum wage your consumption level has never been higher than today. If you can't survive on minimum wage today, explain how people survived on in 10 or 30 years ago. Not holding my breath.)
The literacy in Northern Europe was almost 100 % since early 19th century.
Why don't you provide for them the rest of *their* lives? When did they sign a contract with you that you could stop providing for them when they were 18 (or whatever)?
Besides, when did your older son consent to have to compete for his parents resources, energy, time etc with a sibling?
No it is a human stupidity problem. Why do these people even sign up for these contracts? Because they are stupid. And why do Indonesians produce children they can't provide proper education for? Because they are stupid. This is Trump-level stupidity!
If you are stuck in traffic two hours/day you should fix your life. Move to Manhattan or something. Or the old town in an European capital. I have 15 minutes of walk to the central station. And it is a quite nice walk. 10 minutes or so to the office, and my dog needs a morning walk anyway (I double or triple those 10 minutes via some detours for the dog).
Does this solve a real problem? That old certificates are "cracked"?
The Chinese spend A LOT of money on private tutoring etc. One reason for that is that the state doesn't spend enough money on school and universities. Meanwhile, most Western countries have never spent so much money on education (as percentage of GDP) as they do now. The problem with the school systems in the West is that socialism has become the leading ideology in the education sector. We know what best practices are: learn basic facts by heart, use pen and paper etc but instead of doing that we apply stupid socialism and get children who can't read and write when they reach university.
Berulis alleged in the affidavit that there are attempted logins to NLRB systems from an IP address in Russia in the days after DOGE accessed the systems. He told Reuters Tuesday that the attempted logins apparently included correct username and password combinations but were rejected by location-related conditional access policies.
Berulis' affidavit said that an effort by him and his colleague to formally investigate and alert the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) was disrupted by higher-ups without explanation.
As he and his colleagues prepared to pass information they'd gathered to CISA he received a threatening note taped to the door of his home with photographs of him walking in his neighborhood taken via drone, Andrew Bakaj, Whistleblower Aid's chief legal counsel, said in his submission to Cotton and Warner.
"Unlike any other time previously, there is this fear to speak out because of reprisal," Berulis told Reuters. "We're seeing data that is traditionally safeguarded with the highest standards in the United States government being taken and the people that do try to stop it from happening, the people that are saying no, they're being removed one by one."

The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee is calling for an investigation into DOGE's access to the National Labor Relations Board following exclusive NPR reporting on sensitive data being removed from the agency.
Ranking Member Gerry Connolly, D-Va., sent a letter Tuesday to acting Inspector General at the Department of Labor Luiz Santos and Ruth Blevins, inspector general at the NLRB, expressing concern that DOGE "may be engaged in technological malfeasance and illegal activity."
"According to NPR and whistleblower disclosures obtained by Committee Democrats, individuals associated with DOGE have attempted to exfiltrate and alter data while also using high-level systems access to remove sensitive information—quite possibly including corporate secrets and details of union activities," Connolly wrote in a letter first shared with NPR. "I also understand that these individuals have attempted to conceal their activities, obstruct oversight, and shield themselves from accountability."
Right wing books simply aren't purchased. Then you don't need to ban them after the fact.
"The USA may not be perfect, but it is the only country in the history of man that has fought a war to free its slaves."
Not true. The UK enforced a global naval blockade on slavery, which is a kind of war. Internally UK paid British slave owners to free their slaves.
That is blatant lie. All Arabs who remained in Israel 1948 become full citizens with the same rights as the Jews (and Druses, Bedouins etc). No apartheid whatsoever.
Palestinians WANT their children to become martyres!
