Dunno. If flipping the bird was ALWAYS a losing strategy, Donald Trump would not still be standing.

Got to pick the right opportunity, which admittedly for the guy in this story, it may not be.

A) He wasn't born a billionaire and didn't inherit everything like so many libtards want you to believe, but he's always been one to flip off (most of) the people who got in his way who would not deal. Skip the class envy and read a few of his books.

B) Bird flipping or not, being rich won't save you from political destruction. Have a look at John Edwards, or every other politician who's had to suck up to AIPAC. That one even Trump couldn't avoid - too big a political animal. Ask Peter Theil how it's been for him since he went against Silicon Valley. Still rich, but not in the click anymore. Or Scott Adams who was a multi millionaire before he correctly predicted Trump would win the election. Money didn't save him.

C) Plenty of millionaire and billionaires still go through life sucking up to political interests - see Hollywood. More actors than you might think are closeted conservatives who don't dare come out against the hivemind for fear of losing their next gig. Mel Gibson was about the only one who partially flipped them off by making the wrong movies and it's been hell for him even with his money.


The idea that all successful people are there purely because of luck is a loser's attitude, and isn't the first time I've sensed it in your posts. Get that fatalist nonsense out of your head and stop it with the woe is me crap. It isn't helping you.

Poor bastard is really between a rock and a hard place.

On the one hand he owes a lot of money and if he doesn't genuflect he'll forfeit or delay his glorious law career and hamper his ability to repay his debt in a timely manner.

On the other hand, they're asking him to sell his fucking soul.

And I for one don't agree with the "practical" advice that he should do it, either. In fact, I consider it completely IMpractical because it's a self-abnegation that there's no turning back from and for which there's no redemption, I don't care how much of a big shot lawyer he becomes.

Say he writes the bullshit paper. He'll have to confront that painful fact for the rest of his life. The whole beauty of the paper is that it's "just a paper", no big deal right...?

Negative. It's something he'll never forgive himself for doing, NEVER. And the uni goons know that, and that's why they're doing. It seems innocuous and and they can paint any person who would refuse as a loon for making a stink about a mere essay. But that is exactly the evil genius of it.

You don't have to be Howard Roark but you have to draw a line in the sand when it comes to martyring your pride and your manhood in so public, so degrading, and so fundamentally insane a fashion.

Just thinking out loud: maybe he could use the media attention this is getting to bring down a shit storm on these people that would make them think twice before pulling this kind of Orwellian shit. He could possibly even get himself completely exonerated once the University feels the heat. Maybe not?

Ok what about the worst case scenario? He'll have to go to work for a few years to pay down debt, apply to other, saner schools, and achieve his goals without selling out in a way that he will never, ever be able to forgive himself for. Is that so bad?

I had a similar situation in college when a moonbat leftist professor claimed that I made her "feel afraid" (because I politely debated her on the negative vocal effects of suppressing vibrato in a choral context, OF ALL FUCKING THINGS). She saw me as a thorn in her side and spun a bullshit yarn to the powers that be.

Next thing I know I get a summons to visit the student disciplinary office.

Luckily, the officer they assigned to me was a total hottie. Not only that, she sympathized with my plight and basically swept the whole thing under the rug. I guess if she were an ogress and had a chip on her shoulder I could have been sentenced to sensitivity training or some such Kafaesque punishment. But such as it was I got off the hook.

Mind you, this was in a conservative part of Florida some 10 years ago. But coming back to the university for a concert last year when I flew back to the states to visit my family, I saw "open discussion about transgender issues" notices plastered all over the campus and thought:

Conservative or no conservative, universities have a certain nature. They're like these flea factories breading disease vectors. And you don't notice them or pay them any mind until they start biting you and creating a nuisance. And by then you've got a plague on your hands.

Surely some of you guys will say it's not worth it to fight so seemingly minute a battle. But I ask you this: if you're this guy, and you wrote this paper, when you're telling your grandkids of your comeuppance some 50 years hence, will you proudly regale them with the memory of how you wrote a paper to apologize for the balls hanging between your legs? Or will you keep that painful memory locked up in a dark corner of your mind never to be shared with people who esteem you too much to disappoint them?

@MrLemon

If I may offer my opinion on your situation which you kindly and openly shared, I believe that an exodus to Canada or some such place would be to tepid a difference to make any difference.

If you want to really get away from the bullcrap, you have to change everything and not just a little, but drastically. It occurs to me that when I was but a lad of four puny years, my family left the Soviet Union for greener pastures as soon as the iron curtain came up. Old, young, sick, healthy. A whole bunch of us completely uprooted our lives in search of something better.

If you truly believe what you say about the US, and there's a place somewhere in the world (whether South America, Central America, Eastern Europe, or Asia) that you can live according to the values that are important to you, then you owe it to yourself to find a way to get there, struggle through the adjustment period, and reap the benefits of your new life.

Now whether that's practical for you and your family is another matter but it's been done, and it's not that crazy.

I'd say Canada is in many ways even more whacked out liberal than the US too, so I don't know how much better it would really be. It'd just be the same shit with maple syrup poured on top of it.

That was a shocker to me too - after all that's been posted about it on this forum, Canada? Especially if he's thinking anywhere near Toronto.

And the part about the US becoming a puritanical police state - eh? If that means hyper-conservative we're still a ways away from that, prison statistics notwithstanding. Dudes marry each other, pot is almost legalized and your average teenager thinks Communism is cool. The population at large is so beta confused right now and the subject of this thread is an accurate example of what's going down. It's a far cry from a sold out Jerry Falwell comeback tour.

If you're worried about getting tossed in jail, that doesn't change with location, in fact it may even get more risky. Either way you still have to avoid doing stupid shit.

Get your fuck you money guys asap.... you have 10-15 years tops!

I have been trying to plan my exit for about 5 years now but have made no progress whatsoever. I have a family and all the expenses (unbelievable) that go along with it. Might get a small inheritance but that family member is a rabid, insane TDS sufferer, so if I slip up even once and mention Trump in a positive light, then I'm likely to lose that inheritance, which means no move to a better location, and kids don't get to go to college. Of course I'm set back by virtue of losing my career and earning potential when I had my heart attack in 2016. There's no recovery from that at my age.

Not whining, just telling everybody why so many men in today's society are trapped and unable to fight back. We as a sex have been stuck with ALL the financial burdens...we are still the money pigs of society, expected to bring home enough money to feed and house 4 human beings in a society that has relentlessly inflated living expenses. Yet we have been stripped of the corresponding political and social power necessary for us to protect ourselves as financial providers.

Anyway, for a very short window, 10 years maybe, family men like me will limp along and survive day to day, ducking our heads when the Witches in power berate us, jerk and tremble when they stripe our backs with the whip. That's what I do, every single day.

Eventually, very soon probably, we'll break. Or in my case, if I'm very lucky, I'll get enough money to escape and take my family. But that's increasingly unlikely.


Can't be liking this because of the defeatist attitude you've displayed.
I have little regard for someone who's dependent , for example, on an inheritance from someone who's lording over you.

If you have a son, god help him.

It is precisely that we become MEN by overcoming insane obstacles thrown our way.

You're right about Canada.

I don't know what you'd find here except for a bunch of strange, mentally ill, agenda-driven, welfare-abusing parasites, lead by a leader, Trudeau, who is all of the above.

Agreed.

If one is THAT miserable, one can not be making a parallel move, one must be making a life-changing one as many of us have, and now get to talk about it.
