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.

    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.
