Wow, somebody has decided that Nietzsche was firmly a nihilist.

Reading your posts, and feeling the confidence in your statements, is the only thing that gives me hope these days. I literally created a Kinja account a few weeks ago with the sole intent of telling you this.

I want to believe!!

Batman: Bad tempered scion of the rich, punisher of the poor.

America: Founded by followers of the enlightenment, fleeing aristocracy, meritocratic in its codified establishment - so it’s decedent citizens can create the worst kind of inbred aristocracy since the fall of Rome.

We must pretend we have a meritocracy or else discussions about taxes, social programs, etc. would hinge on their effectiveness, not some vague moral argument about who “earned” it.

Welcome to the wonderful world of “legacy” admissions. I used to date a girl who graduated from the top-ranked liberal arts college in the country (which, to be honest, has more in common with the ivies than it does peer liberal arts institutions) in the late 1990s. She did some poking around into admissions policies…

It can be a jagged little pill, right?

I’ve had this discussion with a friend of mine that works at NYT about young Sulzberger. Sure, he sounds like a bright guy, and he did work his way up, kind of, but I argued that many, many other people, given the same opportunities, could also have put in that work and risen the ranks and done just as good a job. But…

ding ding ding (in my opinion)

I think closing Harvard and Yale and then distributing their ridiculous endowments to public universities would do a lot to help this country. Of course, none of those funds should be spent financing law, public policy or, most importantly, business degrees.

I have nothing to add except maybe this will make everyone feel better, at least if you’re as petty as I am? Before you feel too bad, remember Piers Morgan is Daily Fail’s premiere Trump apologist/resident scumbag.

You keep saying that with such conviction, and I want to believe you. I think I’ve asked you this before, but have you considered the fact that Pence is 100% going to pardon him if he gets kicked out of office? Yes, even if Pence goes down too, he’ll pardon Trump before he goes. Hell, if Pence is also impeached, that…

I really hope you are right. This is giving me a lot of hope.

Yeah, don’t think calling 75% of your customers entitled, clueless racists is the best marketing ploy. Or saying your employer is full of crap for giving you a job. But kudos to her for standing up for what she believes in. I think my employer (and many of our clients) is pretty clueless and evil too, but food’s gotta…

Good for her for telling a hard truth. I hope it leads to better things for her.

Goddamn this is so fucked up. Hellooooooo tone policing. Anyone got a recommendation for mascara? I have bought Loreal Voluminous for years but fuck this noise.

We can’t talk about racism in America because it hurts the white people’s feelings.

I hope she gets more gigs because of this. Man. “Be a face for diversity but don’t you dare fucking talk about it.” Hired for diversity, fired by them because of their racism. Wish I could find that unbelievable.

Super proud of her for telling the damn truth regardless but fucking bummed that she lost her coin. I really hope this winds up opening new and better doors for her.

Schneiderman + the IRS involvement = best news ever. No pardons on state crimes AND let’s all remember how Al Capone ended up in prison.
