I’m so sick and tired of libs demanding that students juggle scholarship applications, working, studying, and fucking starving in order to get through college.

Y’know what? I don’t think students should have to fucking work during school and it is fcked up that we’ve normalized grinding people into dust in order to achieve an education.

Oh, and fuck you if you have a learning disability and can’t do both school and work. Guess it’s poverty for you, buddy.

    I did exactly that: I had a full time job, a part time job, and 12-15 units a semester because that was the only way for the former to pay for the latter as well as my living expenses.

    And it wrecked my health for years.

    I would not wish the same on anyone, except maybe in a gulag way for bootlickers pretending it’s a sustainable and reasonable expectation for students to go through.

        The belief that “I suffered, therefore everyone should suffer as least as much as I did” is so fucking alien to me. I don’t wish what I went through on strangers, let alone anyone I know and care about. I’d wish a special focused version of my toil experience on smug hustlegrind chuds, but even then at a measured “shut the fuck up” level at best.
