"An increasing number of digital products that monitor students’ online behavior are being adopted by schools in association with Big tech – so what’s in it for them?"

I’m not sure how worked up I need to get over this. They just want some metrics to tell how well the leftie brainwashing is going. Seems like the brainwashing would be the thing to object to but what do I know?

Has the drugging of school boys under the pretense of ADD slowed down at all since the 90s?; 3/28/22, 6:12 AM

Why does Big Tech own you? Because you gave your soul to them (it was In the EULA, didn't you read it?); 3/28/22, 6:23 AM
Temujin said...: Regarding Russell Brand. He's entertaining. I'll give him that. "If you're my age...and I am..." He gets his points across and keeps it moving along humorously. Though I rarely make it through one of his entire videos. I always feel like there must be something else I should be doing. But he often takes on important topics and this one is important. The schools are a free-for-all mess as it is. Using programs developed with money and strategy from Big Tech and turning that all loose on your kids is like asking Joseph Mengele to do more, not fewer, experiments on children. These kids will have more and more 'nudges' and marketing pushed at them at an earlier age. And let's face it- Facebook/Meta/Zuckerworld doesn't give a whit about your kids other than how they can push them to think a certain way, act a certain way, and buy stuff they are directed toward.

If the original "Ghostbusters" were made today, the giant Sta-Puff Marshmallow Man invoked as the face of evil would instead be a giant Zuckerberg. There is no good from Meta or their friends in Big Tech. All of their tools we love to use, make us tools for them to use.; 3/28/22, 7:42 AM

More entertaining now than when he was on heroin. But any "Big Fat Quiz" he's on is worth watching.; 3/28/22, 7:45 AM

Great question and glad to see someone else asking about that. I'd have to say no. But even if it has, they've done their job. Fewer boys graduate high school than ever. Young men are less then 50% of entering college freshman and the number is dropping every year. Fewer men graduate college with a 4 year degree, even lower percentages go on to grad school.

In grade schools, boys are no longer called on, with girls being the priority. And the curricula might also reflect a move toward the 'feminine', which can only increase the disinterest boys will have with school. So drug them. Keep them still.

What happens now is a society full of women with advanced degrees (not all of them in areas that translate into employment). Men with either a high school diploma or a bachelors degree. Men trailing off, getting paid by our government to stay home. Or men becoming more Beta in order to fit into the new corporate structures that demand compliance. And on the other hand you have hard-charging women in high pressure jobs reaching the age of upper 30s realizing they seem to have a hard time finding a man who checks off enough from their list of Must Haves. They realize time for family and kids is near over, or over. They find their jobs less than fulfilling by itself. And the stress of it all is killing them.

And oh yeah- we're not reproducing to replacement rate. No one is having sex, let alone kids.

Happiness abounds in our new man-disabled society. It's funny watching the Beta men TV commentators swoon over Zelenskyy as a modern day Male Hero. They've spent years telling you how toxic men are. Now they're literally swooning over one acting like a man, standing up for his country, fighting to secure his borders. Who would do that?; 3/28/22, 7:46 AM

Then there are the people that support the Biden Regime.; 3/28/22, 8:26 AM
Two-eyed Jack said...: Temujin says "I rarely make it through one of his entire videos."

I highly recommend changing the playback speed for videos to 1.25 or 1.5. This saves time and makes most everyone seem smarter.

Just click on the setting gear.; 3/28/22, 8:32 AM
WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...: I'm wondering if the left understand how the sides have swapped.

We on the "right" are the hippies and outcasts.

The left are now the establishment, the Party hacks, the loyalists, the corporatists.; 3/28/22, 10:48 AM
WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...: He's not wrong.

What is more creepy than forced blind obedience to leftist BS, the creepy Zuckerberg-Chan Empire, and the assholes in the corrupt Mainstream press selling it all?

"it's for the children" = When you hear that- run! Nancy Pelosi is not far behind.; 3/28/22, 10:54 AM
WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...: What he says at the 5 minute mark = spot on.; 3/28/22, 11:04 AM
n.n said...: You are the product. In other news, Apple profits from labor and environmental arbitrage in a climate of practical and actual slavery, while retaining control of a sovereign nation through immigration reform, conducting military campaigns against its neighbors, etc. And all we get it are the "benefits" of a poorly conducted sanctions regime, a cover-up of a coup with "benefits"; blowback from a world that has through Choice and force learned that it can circumnavigate the proponents and bigots of the democratic/dictatorial duality; diversity, inequity, and exclusion; political congruence (PC); the wicked solution; etc.; 3/28/22, 11:09 AM
Cheryl said...: "Even their [your children's] sadness is an opportunity for profit." That was an awesome, punch-to-the-gut ending. Thanks. That was well worth watching.

I find it so very interesting who I am agreeing with these days.

Also, MAJOR Python vibes at some points! He's awfully fun to watch.; 3/28/22, 1:24 PM

The Regime and the Great Reset crowd are in for a surprise.; 3/28/22, 2:31 PM
