“Cancel police! Cancel student loans! Cancel all bills! Cancel work! Free houses for all! Playtime for all!” These are not words overheard near a group of obnoxious high schoolers, these are the political calls of the modern left. “FREE! FREE! FREE! Everything should be FREE!” These are your elected officials.
“Money doesn’t grow on trees, naive one,” you might say to an immature teenager who asks for free stuff. But what do you say to a fuzzy-brained adult making the same demands, who also happens to have power over your wallet?
An unthinkable conundrum is our reality: the dumbest people in your high school class are now in political power, making the same thoughtless demands they made back when you thought it was just their hormones.
“I don’t feel like paying my debts because it’s too hard,” is the summary of their I WANT FREE STUFF demand du jour.
“OK, so who should pay your debts?” you ask. “That’s selfish and racist,” is the response. Seriously.
This would all be a fantastical, hysterical story, if it were not real.
In anticipation of Biden’s looming presidency, leftists began organizing their FREE STUFF priority lists. On the top of many lists you will find cancellation of student loan debt and free healthcare. Where do they think the money will come from? Why, your wallet, of course! Biden is expected to raise taxes to pay for that “free” stuff.
Never forget this: the understanding that they must take money from the working to pay for the debts of those not working (or not earning as much) — is in itself proof that they know “free” or “cancel” is a lie. There is no such thing as free because someone always pays for it, and leftists know this. That’s why they call to raise taxes “on the rich” — a puffed lie because it is not wealth that is taxed yearly, but earnings, income, work product. It is work that is taxed, not “wealth.”
The cunning leftist thieves in charge know what they are doing — committing theft. And like all good thieves, they lie to cover it up. Their constituency, mentally debilitated after years of brainwashing and indoctrination in leftist-run schools, doesn’t ask questions; the lemmings trust and follow and echo.
So what can you do? How can you reason with leftists? Short answer — you can’t. How can you make overgrown children see the flaws of their reasoning? Same answer — you can’t.
Intellectual conservatives have spent a great deal of time trying to figure out how to reason with socialist lemmings. There is a narcissistic aspect to the idea that you can figure out a way to change leftist minds. They wasted precious time. Socialist ideology grew like a weed while they were busy using a thesaurus to more authoritatively instruct us on how to argue with the left.
Yes, there were some leftists and Democrats who changed their views. But it wasn’t intellectual conservatives who made that happen, it was the individuals themselves. Those individuals experienced rationality competing with their leftist politics and rationality simply won the internal tug-of-war.
Past efforts to convince the left of their irrationality are a sunk cost. What’s lost is done. We need to move on.
But I digress. Back to thieves and lemmings.
If we can’t reason with them, what can we do? We must stop them. There is no middle-ground position on this. A middle ground position with the neoleft means we must take a bunch of steps to the left to meet them half-way on an outlandish demand. Why would we do that? What has middle-ground politics brought us? It’s brought us closer and closer to socialism, which is now threatening us literally at our front door. We can’t afford to let it get any closer. There is no room for negotiation. There is only room for a solid NO.
To “cancel student loan debt” — just say no.
To “free healthcare for all” — just say no.
And so on and so forth.
Don’t negotiate. Just say no. Protect America.
Why should students work to gain admittance in ranking universities so they can obtain worthless degrees and high debt? Under socialism, all will be treated the same.

The problem is that they all refuse to find a job, so Marxist government can confiscate their money and give it to the bums. That's the fix to get them to stop participating in BLM riots and voting for Biden.

Hey if we’re gonna cancel anything let’s start here:-)

There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch
Someone is always paying for the lunch.
Quite often, the person paying for the free lunch is the same guy who is super excited about that free lunch he’s getting.
John Lennon Imagine 2.0- you’ll have nothing and like it.
the dumbest people in your high school class are now in political power, making the same thoughtless demands they made back when you thought it was just their hormones.
The American Left is composed of Prozac'd old '60s and '70s hippies, their Ritalin'd kids and their Adderall'd grandkids. Not a lot of personal responsibility skills running in that family.
Neither debt nor rent due can be canceled. Attempting to do so violates the rights of one of the parties, and is illegal - even if there’s a law that “permits” it.
The recent mass hysteria led to “cancellation” of rent that was due. That action was illegal and invalid, no matter who authorized it.
It will be the end of “student loans”.
What financial institution will ever back them again?
And that may not be a bad thing given the current crop of “professors” and universities” that totally suck.
It will be the end of “student loans”. What financial institution will ever back them again?
Why would it bother any financial institution?
They get paid regardless.
Those loans are guaranteed by the Federal Government.
“...They get paid regardless. Those loans are guaranteed by the Federal Government....”
Whadda racket.
So basically, the taxpayer gets stuck paying for a bunch of commie dead beats.

Not to mention delusional.
No such thing as free lunch. Somebody is paying for it and it’s not the one eating it.
Before anyone gets too self-righteous, they should note that the Bible calls for the cancellation of debt on a regular basis.
Cloward-Piven. They have to financially “burn it all down” in order for Americans to embrace their New World Order. Where are we now? 30 trillion in debt? And Biden’s proposals will easily double that in four years. Stick a fork in us, we’re done.
Milton Friedman’s original, “There’s no such thing as a Free Lunch” is of course spot on.
But the idea that there is something that has a price of Free is a truly evil concept. “Free” is theft. Someone else had “it”, and you now have “it” without having traded anything of value in return. “Free” is just organized, usually governmentally approved, theft. As such, the massive scale of “Free” overwhelms producers’ willingness to abide the theft, and they cease to produce.
FREE KILLS PRODUCTION.
“FREE” is the shortest path between wealthy civilization and tribal poverty.
It has always been a cornerstone in the scheme of the Bolsheviks Marxists Academia indoctrination complex... To lure our children out of High Schools with a promise of a guaranteed job and 6 figure income.
The colleges are the Marxists best and most prolific indoctrination camps.
It’s all part of their plan... Agenda. To create a generational army of Marxists to overthrow America.
Devise a campaign that would produce a high recruitment rate into these brainwashing-factories. Tell them it’s more patriotic then joining the military.
Recruit the useful-idiots from high-school by offering them a continued culture of HS adolescent. Provide them with:
1) Low interest tuition loans
2) Guaranteed jobs and 6 figure incomes.
3) Guaranteed earned credits included.
4) Guaranteed degrees included.
5) Passing grades not required after tuition is paid.
6) Generous acceptance qualifications that virtually eliminate SATA scoring , entrance exams or HS GPA considerations that would adversely affect the rejection of your application.
Provide them with valuable programs, features and incentives:
A program where you never have to prove your academic aptitude, acuity or worth. And a learning environment that teaches you to believe in the Tooth Fairy & Peter Pan, that government is your OZ, that nihilism is hip, and that learning anything useful is useless because you never have to grow up, be accountable and become an adult.
No need to attend you major or curriculum... just fulfill your contractual obligation that came with your college acceptance letter that requires your attendance of all compelled elective courses. **
Such as our most popular workshop/seminars: ANTIFA, Marxism, Critical Race Theory, anti-American/anti-Capitalist, Orange Man Bad, Conservatives: Hate, Racists and Deplorable, and How to spot a NAZI workshops.
** and you are Guaranteed to graduate with a degree!
Indeed academia wanted ONLY recruits to indoctrinate... not educate. And their reward was a percentage of the tuition.
That WAS ALWAYS the plan... overwhelm the system, Cloward–Piven.
Our universities have produced a legion of useless children... vacated of ALL SENSIBILITY; all reason, wisdom, rationale, knowledge, truth, reality and free-will.
Conditioned/groomed by the MSM, DNC and the University governed ‘Karl Marx Academia Indoctrination Industrial Complex’ of propaganda, compliance and thought control.
The universities have produced an army of college cultured Marxist brown-shirt NAZI revolutionaries. A trained tribal/hive army of anti-American propagandists... a fascist creed of authoritarian Marxists.
The universities have stolen these students identity and turned them into aggressive hate-filled flesh-eating zombies; deranged psychos filled with a single mission... to take down America.
The wicked one borrows and does not repay,
But the righteous one is generous and giving.
(Ps 37:21
Setting forth the Christian position, the apostle Paul urged: “Do not you people be owing anybody a single thing, except to love one another.”
Rom. 13:8.
Let’s see.
I have degrees in Computer Science, MSc Management Information Systems, MBA/A and Aeronautical Science (dual masters). And I can’t buy a job. Corrupt recruiters and filthy Indian H1Bs with 1 week short-courses, lying, racism and cheating say I can’t get employed in any related STEM industry.
To be honest though, never used my MBA/A or my Masters of Aeronautical Science Degrees however. Took them simply because they were interesting.
I went to a real top-rated American engineering school, not some unaccredited and fake Indian school. Busted my balls to get Summa Cum Laude undergraduate (3.97 GPA) and top 10% Graduate. Guess that doesn’t matter.
