Look at the social media posts of this 14 year old and tell me what's more likely - he saw the edgy meme video with the most famous Gita quote or has actually read Indian scriptures in detail?

>don't know who Robert Oppenheimer is
Jfc he led project trinity to develop nukes for America and led the first test in Los Alamos. He's the father of the atomic bomb (his actual nickname) then spent his whole life dedicated to stopping nuclear proliferation as if he could close Pandora's box - shows how one of the most brilliant physicists could be so retarded. Even worked with the Communist Party so the US government stripped him of all his power and he was blacklisted for life.

nigga this kid lived in the United States in 2021. I grew up in an Eastern European post-soc shithole in the 90s/00s where deviating slightly from the norm was seen as a grave threat to the community that legitimized beating you up. Americans and Western Europeans can't imagine how bad it was in the transformation period. the police was completely oblivious and indifferent to what was going on in the schools and in the streets. I was called names, beaten up and I couldn't do anything to counter it. yet I grew up and am a relatively stable person (I still have to take medication and visit a therapist though). what "damage" did this fucking zoomer suffer? someone posted a mean comment on his TikTok?

Nobody gets over lacking the chance to enjoy prime teen pussy and the HS life of freedom and free of responsibility - compared to when you get older at least. Late bloomers will never get the chance and often cope. They can live a happy life but nothing replaces the freedom and thrill of a good high school life. This >>19500474 retard doesn't get it. (Also the "everyone peaks in HS" meme is a massive cope, must successful people at mine joined frats, kept getting women, studied business, got decent careers, and are now well-adjusted middle class people with families. Yeah you'll get the burnouts who become cops but you're missing the point. The whole peak in HS meme is sour grapes. Or what develop what Nietzsche calls "Ressentiment."

HS shows you where your place truly is at that point. People don't care about your career or degree or grades, your hierarchy is based almost solely on your physical/social skills. If you can't play sports or you're a sperg you'll miss out and never get the chance again.

So? Some medieval serf got conscripted into his lord's army and later came back home to find his family and most of his neighbors had died of the Black Death. He would then spend the rest of his life in hard labor, toiling at the soil not far from where they were buried. Are the struggles of later generations dismissed because most of us didn't live a life harsher than some random serfs? Of course not.

10 years is a bit too excessive of an estimation, but a few years, 3-4 tops is likely what it comes down to. Which is enough space to figure yourself out and to see where you are, where you want to be and how to get there, mind you, and that's the luxury people who are enrolling in universities directly after finishing high-school can't afford, as well as real-life experience of knowing how the world functions and actually is outside of your theoretical studies and what not. People who adopt this doom and glood, highschool or bust mindset are retards and need to grow up.

Sending your kids to public school is the most cucked thing I could imagine. Even some faggot ass private school. Are you all so retarded you can't teach your own offspring? What kind of sorry excuse for a life is that?

>Why are zoomers obsessed with emulating niggers?
Niggertalk is a dialect of redneckspoke. If niggers didn't exist you'd have a bunch of rednecks doing niggershit like rap, bad hairstyles, wearing handmedowns, destroying the English language

>Something must be done to convince impressionable kids that their life in high school isn't the be-all, end-all.
that something is ending single motherhood and restoring real family dynamics as the norm.
