Literally getting downvoted and being called scum in r/politics because I had the crazy take that everyone's life is equally valuable. I'm being bombarded by people telling me that having a master's degree and driving a prius makes someone a better person. These motherfuckers scare me.

    Here's the post. In the second comment about prius owning liberals with masters degrees. I'm the one with all the downvotes. https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/jckcin/a_usps_worker_suspected_of_throwing_away_bags/g93wo08/?context=3

      Having proof of about 8 years of specialized study would make it easier to emigrate somewhere else, so yeah, I guess from a nation's stand point, a masters does make you a better person.

      Holy fuck these people are psychos

          I essentially haven't gone on there since the sub was shutdown, and life was genuinely better. Just this alone has introduced more negative feelings into me than I've felt in a while.

          I don't know why I do this to myself. I hope that maybe someone will read it and it might push them towards a more socialist mindset.

        liberals approaching the point - american state and capital pull brain drain strats on other countries all the time, and then when PhDs, Engineers, doctors, lawyers, nurses and all sorts of other professional faculties get here, oop no, drive a cab, immigrant scum.

      My favorite is this one:

      I saw a Prius with a Trump sticker. I thought, how dare they take on our symbol. It made me want to get a big truck and put a Clinton sticker on it.

        Completely unironic. Imagine what it must be live to live in that person's brain.

      how do YOU assign value to human lives?

      ... Equally? What the fuck, how is this a question. My God

        You're right. I fit neaty into that category and don't think that way.

      "Putting in the work to earn a master's and showing enough compassion to spend more on an environmentally conscious vehicle does say something about a person."

      Jesus Christ it's like a parody but it's real. Also I like the dingbat later in the comments calling you anti-intellectual for asking basic questions about these sub-humans' values and moral reasoning.
