Instead of discouraging young people to not pursue the arts or humanities because “they won’t make enough money.” Why don’t you start questioning these industries on why they don’t pay their workers enough. Start fighting to make these industries better.

[Zayne @7ayne4]

People who pursue the arts & humanities will always exist, but getting no support will always deal a huge blow. Whenever these fields were funded, people created things that we still admire & learn from to this day so I don’t understand where the “Tech/stem first” ideal came from

When some Jewish organizations argue that speech about Israels government has to be curtailed because it endangers Jewish people do they apply this to any other country? Should we be careful what we say about Chinas government lest it create racism against Chinese people? Iran?

Zionism is not an integral part of Judaism. To be sure, love of the land of Israel is a massive part of the religion. But not love of a specific political order there, especially a repressive and violent one. You can love the land, its people, and want it to be an equal and pluralistic society. I love my homeland and hate the Zionist regime that rules it and I am a proud Jew.

Bear in mind, the free-est province in China would still be less free than what Taiwan is now.

It boggles the mind for anyone living in a free and democratic society to want to live in a more authoritarian one.

When Bill Clinton “ended welfare as we know it” by signing PRWORA, centrist Dems in the DLC and similar orgs predicted that would defang the right’s “welfare queen” attack. Instead, public opinion on welfare barely budged and now non-cash aid like SNAP and Medicaid are “welfare.”

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

They’re being very frank about the fact that they want to abolish human art & creativity entirely. They envision a future where we live a joyless existence as serfs while machines write all the songs and novels. It’s hard to imagine a darker dystopia, but they are eager to build it.

If you’re so concerned with students having debt then why don’t you make education free

[Dollywood Babylon @c0mmunicants]

The idea that college is explicitly a job training center, with the trainee on the hook financially, is a horrifying thought.

[rea @soupgoooop]

THIS AFFECTS MEDICAL STUDENTS AS WELL BY THE WAY!!!

IT IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO HOLD A JOB WHILE IN MEDICAL SCHOOL BECAUSE SCHOOLING ALONE TAKES 40 HOURS OR MORE A WEEK!!!!!!

MANY SCHOOLS LITERALLY HAVE YOU SIGN A PAPER PROMISING YOU WILL NOT GET A JOB WHILE LEARNING THERE!!!!!!!!

[Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la]

Bezalel Smotrich talks about how the Palestinian citizens are "raising their heads" and acting like "lords of the land" and "harassing our women." He sounds exactly like white lynchers in the Jim Crow years. This comes as they are stopping the Arab parties from running.

[Nia 🪩 @_johnsonator]

this is a stupid law. higher education is more than job training, and the market changes too fast to predict what will “pay off” 20+ years from now.

education should not have to justify itself to the labor market. people should be free to learn.

Fascism.

Art, Humanities, Social and Religious service are what define culture to be by the people, for the people.
Taking all that away strips a culture of defining who they are.
Stripping them of their identity takes away their agency and freedom.

This is fucking Fascism.

[ꜱᴀᴠᴛʀᴏɴɪᴄꜱ @Savtronics]

B. T. W. colleges STARTED as a focus for the liberal arts. Higher education was literally focused around fucking PHILOSOPHY first oh my GOD everyone in power is so fucking stupid. I rlly can’t believe I’m ACTUALLY living in the time of Idiocracy.

[Razven @RazvenHK]

Tankies will always point at something America did, say "America bad" and then say China should do the same thing.

[poseur (ポーザー) 🃏🧙🏻‍♂️🌞 @the_poseur]

Basically they think only rich kids born into the most privileged households should study the arts and humanities. For the poors, it’s either the mines or engineering so that they can build more AI data centers.

Fuck these people, and fuck you if you agree with this horseshit.

[Razven @RazvenHK]

You see, in the civilized world, it is usually a affront to our modern understanding of human rights to let one group of people subjugate another by force. But then again, not everyone is civilised.

[Razven @RazvenHK]

People pay lip service to this because China is a crybaby that throws a shitfit when people say the truth outloud.

Your civil war ended, Taiwan is a country, they don't want to be ruled by Beijing.

[Aurora Chang 張瓊方 🌻🍉 @aurorachaang]

on matters of taiwanese self-determination and independence it is vital that we consult *checks notes* american twitch streamers who have never stepped foot on taiwan
