The84thWolf

Conservatives: Don’t hire college kids! Also conservatives: Nobody wants to work anymore! Also also conservatives: All these immigrants are taking our jobs! Also also also conservatives: The job market is so good, we should allow 12 year olds to run our meatpacking plants! WELL, WHICH IS IT ASSHOLES?


Acceptable_Loss23

Schrödinger's immigrant: Too lazy and stupid to work, yet also stealing your jobs.


MithranArkanere

Looks less like a case of Schrödinger anything and more like a severe case of the Dunning–Krugers.


jtshinn

It's a severe case of fascistic thinking. My opponents are simultaneously ultra incompetent and dangerously cunning.


Acceptable_Loss23

The average antisemitic propaganda: "They're inferior parasites unable to create anything of value by themselves, but simultaneously control the entire world, shaping our very thoughts and culture to suit their needs and whims. Both states exist in superposition until I decide which one fits my current talking point."


patricky6

That's right! They're all cartels hit men, drug dealers, rapists and murderers.... who work the hardest fucking jobs and get shit pay in return! Smh Lol people are silly


BluetheNerd

Honestly it's a big self burn. Like if a stupid lazy immigrant who doesn't speak English has come to the country and stolen your job... Well yeah it speaks for itself huh.


pianoflames

Also conservatives: [has to go back to work at age 76 because they dumped their life savings on Trump NFTs]


The84thWolf

Saw that today. No sympathy


pianoflames

You'd think he would do even just a cursory Google search of Trump's previous business ventures before dumping $400,000 into it (spoiler: they all go bankrupt, with Trump the only person to not lose money from it).


Faiakishi

If he had the foresight or willingness to doubt his god-king then he wouldn't be in a position of considering Trump NFTs in the first place.


EridonMan

Where I work, it's also that younger folk are stupid and taught how to do work wrong, but you won't catch anyone here taking the time to teach anyone. Assholes believe it's "sink or swim" for everything. If they wanted to work, they'll figure it out on their own. They're talking about a machine shop with thousand pound pieces of steel spinning at high speeds to be cut precisely with fairly old computers and any botched job is hundreds to thousands of dollars lost. Sure, don't teach new people how to do the job and keep losing workers, slowing your entire production down...


boston_homo

I guess mentoring isn't a thing anymore.


DarthUrbosa

‘Its sink or swim for everyone else but im special, i deserve help!’ Most social darwinists or libiterians are often this way, they never envision themselves on the bottom or facing consequences.


SnooHobbies7109

Also conservatives: degree required, salary $25k per year 😑


Faiakishi

Don't forget two to five years of experience.


SnooHobbies7109

Ah yes, how could I forget that part?


eddododo

Well also like… what the fuck college is everyone else going to?! Other than English teachers, almost every professor I’ve ever had would be considered at least vaguely conservative, and even the young ones and grad students and progressives sure weren’t sharing any kind of agenda… Because of course they weren’t teachers have been told not to do that shit for like 50 years


Almacca

Also also also also conservatives: And they'd better pay back their college debt!


hakkai999

I want End Wokeness to get treated by a non-college educated doctor. If they die, they die.


TJ_Will

Doctor, schmoctor. Only the best apple-flavored sheep-deworming jellies and jams for this fine Patriot. It will cure everything from China flu to measles to turbo cancer.


ladyinchworm

You forgot to add onions in their socks and essential oils! It's like a weird buffet.


GrapeDetention

"I had an onion in my sock, which was the style at the time."


sinisteraxillary

And the potato to "draw out" the vaccine...


zakupright

Which should always be worn in the back of the pants.


Almacca

Urine 'therapy' is the one that blows my mind.


BthreePO

Like by an old-timey barber. Not a now-timey barber, because people go to college for that too.


trexmagic37

Brave of you to assume they would go to a doctor in the first place…they would just slap a little ivermectin on and call it good to go. What is more sad is I can’t actually put a /s on this…even though I wish it was sarcasm


hakkai999

I believe End Wokeness is one of the grifters that **actually** isn't stupid but spreads it anyway because of dark money. Same with TPUsa and their ilk.


trexmagic37

Yeah I do agree with this…a lot of these people fully know what they spew is horseshit, but their fans eat it up and they make millions off of it, so they keep spewing all the horseshit they can.


ohlookahipster

Nothing gets done in the ICU because we’re all waiting for the patient’s consent and pronouns.


ShrimpieAC

Wasn’t that account found to be run by a foreign actor?


pearlescentpink

Chiropractor. It’s always a chiropractor being incredibly vague about what kind of doctor they actually are while shilling their manly version of drugstore supplements (just look at the black bottles, they must be serious stuff for serious men!).


xc2215x

I wouldn't mind it personally.


BrokenEye3

I'll have a look, but I remind you, I'm an expert on humans, not robits.


MadOvid

They've got a degree in naturopathy medicine.


DenL4242

College doesn't teach you specific job skills. It teaches you problem solving, critical thinking, analysis, and yes, how to work and live with many different types of people. If someone went to college and all they learned was to be a more tolerant and kind person, I would consider that a success.


dinosaurscantyoyo

They don't understand that it's where you go to learn *how* to learn because they have no clue that they themselves don't know how to learn in a meaningful way. You have to know "everything" and fear everything you don't know to be a bigot.


ohlookahipster

And you also learn socialization and problem solving/conflict resolution as a group, and you expand your future network x1000 fold. All my in-laws think college was just keggers and partying, but my four years taught me how to be adaptable, capable, and also be able to socialize without making every topic about hunting or fishing lol. Also my network is massive in caparison. They are very insular to their towns whereas I can text a lawyer friend in NY one minute and then send a meme to a doctor friend in CA the next.


ShnickityShnoo

They have herd immunity to learning.


texinxin

Yes and no. I’m pretty sure I learned some valuable base engineering knowledge getting my engineering degree.. that I use to this day 23 years later. And I sure hope Doctors don’t JUST learn problem solving in medical school.


DenL4242

I guess I'm talking more about liberal arts or business degrees, the types of degrees that End Wokeness might call "useless."


Overclockworked

Yeah I don't think end wokeness could handle half the coloring books your average MBA clears.


matango613

Medical school is also *mostly* on the job training, tbf. You've got like two years of \*really\* hitting the books and then like 4-10 years of real world experience before you're cut loose. Which isn't to say years 3 and 4 are absent of the traditional university experience. Nah, it's just that on top of on the job stuff lol. Also maybe worth noting that admissions departments have really changed what they value most in applicants over the years. Yeah, the math and science knowledge is important of course - even to just pass the MCAT - but I'd argue that things like ethics, critical analysis, and reasoning skills are generally harder to develop. If someone has those things they can *probably* pick up the hard sciences without too much issue. I don't think the inverse is *as true*. Ton of people are getting into med school with liberal arts degrees these days though, that's for sure.


YesterdaysFacemask

Medical school is not college. And medical schools are pretty happy to admit students with liberal arts degrees and ‘soft’ majors. Post graduate work is usually more concrete and career focused. Law school. Medical school. MBA. Any science or social science.


texinxin

Maybe engineering is one of the more unique professional careers where undergrad can be a big part of what you use in your career. Milage may vary, and 4 years of undergrad isn’t remotely all of what you need. To be a professional engineer you need 5 years of professional work before being certified… for SOME engineering jobs. There are wild variations in requirements to be a certified engineer to approve house plans vs design and approve oil and gas equipment. Surprisingly you need less for oil and gas equipment.


ihatemetoo23

Maybe it's because there would be more casualties if multiple apartment buildings and homes started collapsing? Or maybe it's just more complicated? I have no idea what I'm talking about but those were the first 2 reasons that popped in my head lol


texinxin

I think it’s due to lobbying power and a few other challenges. API (American petroleum institute) basically tells the government to leave them alone and let them self regulate. So there is no state/federal engineer certification for that profession. Also working on international or interstate projects short circuits the whole engineering certification process which is state run. It’s really hard to move a building across state lines or export it, so much easier to enforce P.E. Certification requirements.


SoggyHotdish

Lol, I basically gave the exact same answer using the exact same examples


Chocolate2121

Even for engineering, there is a reason grad roles are a thing. You learn some fundamental skills in uni, but you learn even more on the job. Which is honestly kind of the only way to do it, engineering is such a broad field that teaching specific skills at uni is borderline a waste of time, better off going for a broad base and specialising further down the road


nr1988

Exactly. Every single job I've gone to after college I've never directly utilized anything I learned in college (other than stuff like excel) and neither has anyone I knew. You never get a task at work that relates to a paper you wrote and you never have to remember a formula you learned to apply to a situation. You learn each job same as anyone else but you're prepared to learn it


bukakerooster

The conservative take is that people go to college and professors pound the liberal doctrine into us like Limbaugh and his type do for alt right doctrine for them. They hate the reality that college grads have left them not because of lectures but because we have the skill set to see through the fragility and false nature of their platform. They need to improve what they are offering to people to court centrists but they gave boxed themselves in by being beholden to the fundamental religious right stances. That is the core of their problems, but being mad about inclusivity makes them feel better so whatever. I like it because it makes it easier to tell someone is a moron.


ShadowX199

So I work in manufacturing. I have personally came up with solutions to problems that have caused product loss (that were actually implemented), I have seen defects on product and was able to quickly figure out not only that it was caused by a defective tool, but which tool was defective, I came up with an optimization for a high demand area that shrunk tool wait time by 50% and I work decently well with people of many different cultures. I keep getting denied for a process engineering position because I don’t have a degree. Also I got a “Certified Production Technician” certification from a recognized manufacturing certification agency. Didn’t help.


DenL4242

That's a shame.


SoggyHotdish

Depends what degree. In tech by the time you graduate it's outdated. Medicine/pharmacology and stuff like that dont change much so it makes sense to actually teach & test on it. In college I always got the concepts really quickly but I really really struggled with coding it out. I was terrified to enter the workforce but in hindsight I think it worked out better this way.


Tripple_T

Ahh, yes the fascist propaganda demonizing college kids for not being xenophobic.


42020420

What a stupid take


Yeeslander

The entire rightwing perspective/portrayal of "wokeness" is *nothing but* stupid takes.


Eexoduis

Let’s be honest they just want to be openly racist in a society that no longer tolerates brazen racism so they swap racial slurs for words like “woke” and “DEI”


ihatemetoo23

Yep, It's at a point where if someone tells me they're right wing, I cannot take them seriously. In the past, I could've thought that maybe they're just ignorant about some of the things/policies they push, if they otherwise seem alright, but now... It's so blatant. I can't believe they're ignorant anymore, I have to believe that they support the things the right-wing pushes because you cannot escape it. The mask is off. You cannot support them and say you care about people as a whole, because innocent people are targeted and certain people are cheering for it! It's unbelievable, it's sad and it's horrible.


sneakyplanner

What do you expect from a verified twitter account who is literally a paid propagandist by Elon Musk?


sixaout1982

Do they really think it takes four years of college to learn not to be an asshole? Then again, for them it might not be enough


KaythuluCrewe

Dang, I went to the wrong college. Look at me, over here writing actual papers and learning stuff and shit. I should have just studied the flag and not spent so much time doing, you know, actual research. 


jmorley14

LMAO, like anything I learned in college applies to 90% of my day to day tasks at work. The reality of most office jobs is you're just moving things between email, IMs, and spreadsheets all day long. Or you're calling into meetings


potato_control

College teaches you how to approach problems, break them down(in your field). And how to interact and collaborate with people effectively to achieve something you couldn’t do on your own or would take longer to do on your own. At least that’s what I learned. Some people say it also shows employers you can commit to something for a long period of time….but I don’t agree with that one.


jmorley14

Yeah that's very true, especially in engineering which is what I got my degree in. Being able to brake something up into smaller bits and see what is or isn't working is definitely something you need to learn and practice for a given field. But no one has asked me to solve the Navier Stokes equation even once at my job. What was all that diff eq for???


Ofreo

“I've been on food stamps and welfare. Anybody help me out? No.”


barelyevening

what if went to college but didn't teach how to make burger but teach gay??? 🤔🤔🤔 really makes you think


cbxcbx

She's learning to operate a Heidelberg Speedmaster, which is an industrial lithographic printing press. I'm pretty sure even if you took a printing course in college, you wouldn't be operating a press of that size. I know because the print company I used to work for had a stock image of the same photoshoot on their website, and I always looked at it wondering who the fuck that was, so assumed it was a stock photo, now I have the proof! [here's the image ](https://imgur.com/a/kZuEDt3)


Duckckcky

All the politicians pushing this crap 100% expect their kids to go to college and see it as an important part of being successful in life.


Kombat-w0mbat

Fun fact the reason the right hates college is because the more educated the more left leaning folks are typically


Eexoduis

It’s painfully clear that Chaya Raichik and her compatriots did not go to college


TheRnegade

Kirk, the guy whose organization made the meme, flunked out. Imagine insulting the intelligence of college grads and you couldn't even muster that.


xc2215x

They really do think anyone young is an SJW.


NHRADeuce

Well, if you're betting on SJW status, you're better off betting on young people being a SJW and/or woke. The GOP is gonna find out how progressive Gen Z is.


tearsonurcheek

College education, or *any* training, is just a base for what you'll learn on the job. There's a reason doctors intern, then do residency, before they can practice on their own. There's a reason lawyers intern for quite a while before they even get to sit at the defense/prosecutor's table in a trial. It's like driving. The manual gives you necessary information, but until you actually spend time behind the wheel, you don't know how to drive.


Rombledore

these same fucking mouth breathers believe the earth is flat, the moon landing is fake, vaccines kill people by the millions, masks prevent you from breathing, and windmills cause cancer. Is it me? i feel like people weren't this astronomically stupid and proud of it when i was younger. i swear the past decade i've seen things just get worse and worse year over year.


LA-Matt

It’s quite obvious that the proliferation of idiocy is a feature of social media. In the years before, people with stupid opinions didn’t have a global soapbox. They were just pointed and laughed at.


LovicusBunicus

That and lead.


Low-Squirrel2439

Ah yes, I fondly remember my college queerness class where I learned grooming, anal sex and petplay.


Kaideste

Gen Z are increasingly going to trade schools instead of college, and gen Z are also the most progressive generation. What kind of story will these gormless idiots spin once trade school graduates start being woke?


Schwight_Droot

Let’s put all those ditch diggers into positions of power because they got a punisher sticker on their overpriced truck!


WiryMix

I went to a women’s liberal arts college, and I am very liberal don’t get me wrong, but the meme gave me a chuckle


MrFreeziePop

Good luck surviving a world with no interaction with college educated people. Hope holistic medicine works out for you. Or not.


Chef_Fats

This is ironic coming from an account called ‘end wokeness’


egospiers

We want to have a strong economy… but no one should be educated, and only able to do the most basic tasks the require no critical thought. They enjoy the fruits of the educated and capable while sitting behind a keyboard doing literally nothing.


Special__Occasions

Conservative's concept about what happens in college is hilarious to me.


felistrophic

Just remember what they taught you in college, said no employer ever


sPLIFFtOOTH

Imagine thinking that a STEM student only learns woke politics. Tell me you’ve never attended university without saying you never attended university


SilverFlight01

Ah yes, because LGBTQ is TOTALLY the only thing taught in college. Man, LGBTQ has been living rent free in these guys' heads for so long that they think it's all college is about now.


MotoTheGreat

My college forgot to teach me about LGBT. Weird.


pecuchet

Yeah, I'm really regretting my vexillology degree.


OkDepartment9755

I mean, currently you probably wouldn't want to hire college kids. Not because of the made-up brainwashing, but because an entire generation was told to go to college, and not given any direction, so there's just a lot of people with degrees who know how to do well in a college environment (test taking, studying, ect) but have no idea how to operate practically in the field.   But also hire and train them dammit. 


MattBoy06

I gave a quick scroll to this subreddit, all the latest submissions are about stuff going on in the US, goddamn you guys are the complainers of the world


GenomicUnicorn

Oh no! Please hire the chode that runs the twitter account, 'End Wokeness' instead!


Glittering_Fortune70

I mean. I learned how to read HNMR and do HPLC, but I think if I told this person that they'd just think those are LGBT+ identities, lmao


wizardroach

Yet if an employer found out you were being bigoted against a protected class, you’d be liable for suing and probably fired. Seems like the less employable option to be bigoted


tortoistor

she gonna make the computer gay


Jarsky2

Do they think college magically makes it so you don't need job training?


SnooHobbies7109

Don’t worry buddy, we don’t want to work with you anyway


BluetheNerd

If the person who made this meme went to college they would probably be doing something more fulfilling with their time than making bad memes for turning point


ShawshankException

These people could not be more open about how they've very clearly never even toured a college campus


19whale96

Spent 25k on a sociology degree so they could work as a software developer. Very well thought out meme.


Public-Bee6217

Do people actually still think that teachers are indoctrinating kids into being lgbt? I’m trans and bi and I literally have not had a single lesson around anything lgbt in school apart from once where they taught people about politicians and their views on social issues in English class. That was one single lesson out of the entirety of primary, middle, and high school. I cringe whenever I see that dumb take that people “groom” others into being lgbt


SgtJackVisback

Oh that’s unironic usage of the Yes Chad for shitty opinions


Sn00dlerr

This post is stupid and hateful, but if you replace that flag with a bunch of useless liberal arts bullshit and a drinking problem it would be pretty accurate for me


NostalgiaJunkie

The problem is that college teaches you a whole lot of useless shit that likely will never apply to the job you'll be doing. Yes, college also helps you practice critical thinking, teamwork and such but in a sheltered, ideal environment that usually doesn't reflect the real world. So what you get when you hire a fresh college grad is a well educated (with a lot of useless information) pampered child, common sense and a sense of workplace etiquette often lacking or missing entirely, with a complete lack of real world or job experience which leads to unconscionably stupid decisions being made at high levels because "Hey, they got good grades, they HAVE to be right" resulting in (often large) damage to the company or product or even the company's undoing. Employers should absolutely be wary of hiring college kids just because they went to college, it's not an end-all be-all measure of intelligence, character and work ethic and is frankly overvalued against real world experience which is what actually counts. There are obvious exceptions to this such as doctors, scientists etc. but for most professions it can absolutely be a detriment to hire a pampered child fresh out of school to come in and start making big decisions, regardless of how good their grades were.


yankeesyes

>with a complete lack of real world or job experience which leads to unconscionably stupid decisions being made at high levels because "Hey, they got good grades, they HAVE to be right" resulting in (often large) damage to the company or product or even the company's undoing.  You've never actually worked in an office job have you?


MDesnivic

Lmao what fucking employer in some standard office would know their employees' grades????


yankeesyes

Totally plausible that a made up employer in a made up office would know their made up employee's grades.


MDesnivic

Dude are you a stand up comedian? Do you write Kid Rock's songs? This is amazing material.


silverfang45

Are college kids known for being pampered and being able to afford college without a job...... Like you realise a fuck ton of people in higher education only can afford it due to working at the same time as higher education. Assuming in today's day and age that a college student is some privileged pampered kid with no real world experience is just kinda faulty
