@Hughmungusdik @aceisnaughty @memeticsisyphus Boomer rage when their mediocre state schools are mildly criticized is so funny. You’re not getting on the football team big bro.

Boomers be like, “Just walk into the office and ask for a job.”

The office: locked
The recruiter: AI
The interview: automated
The job posting: fake
The rejection email: instant

AMERICAN MEN IN WORKFORCE AT RECORD LOWS

The share of American men in the labor force peaked in 1949. It has been falling ever since.

In 78 years of data, only two months have ever been lower than today, and both were during COVID.

No boomer has ever applied to 500 jobs and gotten 5 emails back and 2 interviews and no employment.

They do not understand the world that we live in. They cannot understand it, that would shatter their world view. They reflexively call you lazy to protect their view of reality.

Today we are proud to announce the release of American Scapegoat: How a Corrupt Justice System Sacrificed Derek Chauvin to the Mob by former federal prosecutor T.J. Harker (@TJ_Harker).

Six years ago today, George Floyd died while in custody of Minneapolis beat cop Derek Chauvin, sparking the most destructive riots in our nation's history and becoming the pretext for an era of mass political hysteria that threatened to rip apart the very fabric of American life. Cities burned. Floyd's body was paraded around in a gold casket. Every institution was made to bend the knee to BLM. Ordinary white Americans, represented by the person of Derek Chauvin, were called to account for three centuries of racial grievance.

All most Americans saw of that day was the grainy cellphone footage of Officer Chauvin's knee restraining the back of George Floyd's neck. Few bothered to learn any other details about the case, and by the time the trial rolled around, the verdict was a foregone conclusion. An innocent black man had been killed by a racist white cop, they were told. And for America to atone for its original sins, that racist white cop had to pay the price.

What they didn't know was that Chauvin's knee did not prevent Floyd from breathing. They didn't know Chauvin was following procedure by the book. They didn't know Floyd had taken lethal amounts of fentanyl minutes before being restrained. They didn't know Floyd had a pre-existing heart condition. They didn't know the autopsy report had been revised under threat of professional harm. They didn't know the original prosecutor removed herself from the case after seeing all of the evidence. They didn't know the subsequent prosecutors had to abandon their theory of the case just days into the trial. They didn't know the prosecution never established a cause of death, let alone that Derek Chauvin was responsible.

In American Scapegoat, author T.J. Harker breaks down what happened on that fateful day six years ago, analyzes the thousands of court documents manipulated and recontextualized to achieve the trial result Minnesota politicians demanded, and relives the trial itself in thorough, painstaking detail to definitively show that Derek Chauvin did not kill George Floyd.

Never in modern American history has our justice system been so corrupted by public mass hysteria than in the case of Derek Chauvin. This is the story of that trial. This is the story of how a man was sacrificed to the mob.

American Scapegoat is available for pre-order now. Coming Fall '26.

I don’t think this covers it. Graduates of elite colleges do well also because we have a stagnate/fossilized corporate world where you have HR gate keepers who went to ‘good schools’ who don’t pass resumes on if they don’t see a ‘good school.’

[Anthony Bradley @drantbradley]

Clemson is $1.5B in debt. Syracuse is closing or pausing 93 programs, UNC-Chapel Hill plans to cut spending by $89M over 3 years. Duke recently let 600 employees go in a $350M budget cut. Indiana public colleges announced a plan to eliminate or merge 580 programs statewide.

[FischerKing @FischerKing64]

Over half of all Americans attend some form of ‘higher education’ today, something that was once reserved for a small cohort of people. A large chunk of them don’t even get a degree - just the debt. Closing down 75% of universities will not result in any loss to mind or culture, will save people a lot of $$, and will force schools to fire administrators and focus on research and teaching - for students who actually belong there and want to be there. Pinching off these schools is a good thing.

Anti-natalism aside, you have to ask yourself if this kind of millennial traveloor actually makes any meaningful connection to these cultures. The autist who sits in his basement reading history books and learning languages is likely more cosmopolitan.
