And yet it turned into a conformity factory and torture center, the equal of any CIA black site.

I can tell you were one of the popular kids. I get it, school was wonderful for you. You probably have a great deal of nostalgia.

Never in my life have I heard such a stalwart and organized defense of conformity factories. You can tell who were the torturers and who were the victims very easily.

One of the greatest things the working class ever lost.

Having their children tortured and reprogrammed to regurgitate the ruling class line. The conformity factory. Winning bigly!

It is indicative. More people have horrible experiences in school than have good ones. That's a fact.

Me? These issues are widely reported and experienced by everyone (except the popular kids, of course - if you're one of those I can see why you don't get it). And I was cishet. Imagine what it's like for BIPOC or LGBT kids. A thousand times worse.

The problem that people apparently think government schools are some kind of good place where children are not routinely tortured and belittled by the other children. Really surprised people aren't familiar with this. Schools are a hellscape of suffering.

That's what it looks like to me. "Mass death among less grievable subjects." The people who endorsed conspiracy theories died like flies and nobody felt the least bit bad.

1. Capitalism has nothing to do with it, we're talking about government schools.

2. Whataboutism.

What, kids aren't tortured and mocked every day at government schools? Yes. Yes they are.

Well unless you're popular. Then I'm sure it was the best experience in your life.

I realize the whole point of this article is to dogpile on and ridicule this man, but all I feel is a profound sadness at a man who was unable to bond with a real living human being. Let the public shaming commence!

What, people should put their children in government schools where they'll be bullied and tortured every day for years on end?

You can always tell who were the popular kids in school.

Regular school is nothing but a long, extended torture session where you cannot escape. I wish I could have gone to home school. You should be thankful at what you "lost".

Anyone got a paternity test on that kid? Getting strong John Redcorn vibes.

That movie was a flop and nobody watched it. Jewell is still widely regarded as a skeezy loser weirdo.

I can't remember if that was the real reason or that was the disinformation the media spread about the hero. That's the problem with these lies: they stick. Most people today still think the security guard was the terrorist.

Bated breath. As in, you abate breathing.

They used to do this with USB thumb drives in the ripoff markets in Shanghai years back. When the average drive was 64-256 megs they had drives in the 30 gig range for the same price. Uh-huh, sure. They'd even plug them into laptops to show you Windows reporting the drive size. I didn't fall for it but a lot of people did, unfortunately.
