At first it was going to be to forgive all student debt for everyone making under $80k, then it was $20k, then they knocked it down to $10k but only for left-handed, red-headed, teacher-nurses. Get it through your thick heads; the Demo-rats don't give a fuck about you any more than Republi-tards. If they gave away free education, their military recruitment (which mostly benefits from taking advantage of desperate poor people) would suffer even more, and it's already at an all-time low. And that's setting aside that colleges now are just huge moneymaking Ponzi-scheme, hedge-fund sports franchises that do education as a side-hustle.
I didn't realize that the Supreme Court had a "Demo-rat" majority.
The stupidity and anger on display here is breathtaking
Oh wow... Just an awful attempt at disinformation.
General incoherence aside... I guess the Supreme Court doesn't exist, and Biden shut down his own loan forgiveness program?
I mean really... Do better.
Answer me this, why do you think they haven't been able to succeed in their first few attempts?
Kiddos, realize that this is the thing working from all angles to influence your thoughts right now.
The same energy/funding behind this real/fake person, who is just obviously so ignorant that it hurts to read here, is also currently posting in all of your feeds elsewhere. They are posting in those feeds in much more subtle ways, and often, all to make you doubt objective truth.
They are posting the lead comment, and two comrades are then posting replies below the original misinformation to say, "I agree" and/or "I didn't know this, but I asked a friend and they said it was actually true, weird!" All things to, again, influence you to doubt the things you can see as true with your own eyes/reason.
This dark energy/funding is likely in some of your favorite YouTubers/twitch streamers you watch, definitely all throughout Reddit, it's in your IG/FB/TikTok feeds, it's in the news your parents watch and the editorials in your newspapers. It's in the supreme court deciding your future if you're in the US. It's insidious. One of the best skills you can hone right now is the ability to feel it quickly and the empathy to warn others about it in a way that they can hear your warning.
Don't forget botnets to artificially make it seem like an opinion is more popular than it is by mass-liking it
