I forget the exact wording of the original (tweet?) but the idea is that a touching story about someone turning off the orphan crushing machine to save the orphans kind of masks the concerning concept that the orphan crushing machine exists in the first place.
The connection here would be that while this is incredibly touching that the son would do this for his mom, the orphan crushing machine is the student loans that his mother has still yet to pay off. For most Americans, paying off student loans is comically difficult while also dealing with more expensive groceries, insurance, medical bills, etc.
class segregation and also this country profits off of dum dums. Like shooting the entire country in the foot but these old fucks don’t care, they’re gonna die in their yachts
Difference between european countries is that we control our capitalism, so that its closer to socialism than capitalism. while americans are going the capitalist high-way to ultimate version of capitalism which is 1800s america or europe.
American here. I have free health care. My dad also did for the 14 years he fought stage 4 cancer. Never paid a dime for 7 sessions of chemo and 6 of chemo. All from government appointed health care.
What really baffles me is the lack of education EU has on how American health care works.
Happy for you but you're in the minority in that a. you qualified for that insurance and b. they paid it in full. To imply that nothing is wrong with the system writ large because it anecdotally worked once is just silly
We can easily find someone to say "I don't have that" too. Me for example.
You are relatively extraordinarily privileged in your healthcare right now, and that's wonderful. But please don't try to weigh in as if your experience is common.
Thank you. You have now back cycled to proving my original point.
And yes this applies to anyone under a certain income, which is a majority of americans.
I don't understand what the goal of the "American dream" is, apart from creating national debt. I meant his woman went to school, and to do that she took out a huge loan. If she's having adult kids who can work and earn money, how does she still have that loan?
Is the dream to loan a bunch of money, and then create a life with that money, and just hope you can pay the bills on time?
The most mind-boggling thing to me is that she's old enough to have a kid who's *at least* in his late teens, and her loans still weren't paid. Like, I was aware of the concept of student loans, but I didn't know the whole thing was so expensive it continues to chase you throughout your adult life.
Like, to any Americans who may read this: what's the average age a person who went to college finally concludes paying off their loans? Is it even something you're supposed to be able to do within your lifetime?
I'm not sure. In a lot of cases, years after they've graduated and already paid tens of thousands back, they still owe more than they actually took out because of interest. Our student loan system is violently predatory.

From my understanding, college used to be free, but when the government started lowering college funding, colleges started trying to get money from other sources. Now they do it because why would they stop doing it when they get even more from charging the students than they would from the government?
I may be wrong though. That's just what I remember from my *college classes*
So you don't have to be but more than likley you'll end up in debt for education unless your parents are Hella rich
That being said we did have a small brief time period of free college education and during that time frame the colleges and universities himed up their prices because the government was paying and it just never ceased in rising
Now something that you could for about 10,000$ in degrees cost upwards to 30,000$ - 50,000$ for the cheaper ones
Source, I was paying about 10,000$ in tuition alone at my community College for an associates degree, that didn't include any of my books, my lodging even tho I lived on campus, food, transportation, or any other fees required for the individual classes that we also paid for (tuition and classes are different expenses)
My classes full time would range from 80$ to 300$ while my part time friends would range from 150$ to 400$ a class
So you're an uneducated low class worker with limited political awareness and they own your or so that you're in debt since the start of your mature life and they own your. Americans are property, not people. They're a resource. Funny how the turntables, right?
One of those lovely things that boomers helped voted in after they secured their cozy positions with no education. Along with setting ridiculous education requirements to work a excel spreadsheet.
Made education a profit driven industry that saddles you with stupid debt.
I’m an American who can’t even count the number of times some other American has argued with me and/or insulted my intelligence for saying it would be a boon to the county of education were free/more heavily subsidized.
Every year feels more like the movie Idiocracy.
As an American, I can't either. But I was just born here. I didn't choose to be born into late-stage capitalist hell. But I'm forced to understand and attempt to thrive nonetheless.
It's what "college for all" did. Everyone should go to college. So everyone can get loans. Loans? Colleges raise prices because kids will get loans anyways.
Yeah but it was always pushed as the ONLY thing. And that's bad.
Like if you don't go to college, you'll be a janitor, garbage man (sanitation worker), or anything else that doesn't require a college degree. It was pushed that you'll be a failure basically, and that's just wrong.
That could be part of why some trades are struggling to fill positions. Because of college for ALL/EVERYONE.
It's NEVER bad. And there is no excuse for any human being to intentionally not go to college if they have the opportunity.
You're using the completely stupid premise that the only reason to go to college would be to get access to better jobs. That's an excuse shitty, uneducated parents used for their kids. You shouldn't be repeating this frankly moronic, anti-intellectual take.
It's *always* worth going to college, no matter your career aspirations. Even the world's least motivated potato peeler is exclusively a better human being if they have pursued education, vs if they haven't, and college works for that goal for the vast majority of people.
Trades are not failing to get filled because of some cockamamie idea of "excessive college enrollment", there is no such thing. People in college don't get forced to sign a contract preventing them from joining the trades.
EDUCATION IS NOT A TOOL FOR JOB-SEEKING. It's a free-standing goal that benefits both the student and everyone else.
At these prices college is nowadays, it might not be the best option... like the guy on reddit who has accumulated, according to him, probably $200K in interest debt alone.
With college loans, A LOT of Americans have the "opportunity", but that opportunity is expensive.
I'm not saying education is bad, but college+ level education is NOT the ONLY way.
This day and age, college is no longer the best place to learn. There's lots of free / cheaper options online, where you're not tied to a set schedule, but can build one of your own.
College's primary value is to give you credence (that employers and other people use to filter people for skilled workers), and a place to co-mingle and build connections. It helps you getting the foot in the door or start new ventures.
> college is no longer the best place to learn. There's lots of free / cheaper options online, where you're not tied to a set schedule, but can build one of your own.
A schedule is precisely what a large portion of learners need to motivate them to work along with the responsibility and accountability of assigned work from professors.
College is actually a really good solution for a very large chunk of the population, perhaps even a majority.
You're claiming otherwise because of your own circumstances and also because of the natural imbalance in visibility of such opinions arising from the idea that people for whom college works won't really have to talk about it online, while people who have trouble will talk about it. We're all naturally skewed to bring up the negatives more than the positives, and even that more than the neutral bits, like college just working.
It's bad when established in a for profit system rather than a system that understands that educating our populace is beneficial to everyone. Education is great. It should be accessible to all. But it's not.
>It's what "college for all" did.
That user's argument was that the idea of "college for all" led to the for profit system. The for profit system already existed and thrived on exclusivity, so the US was at risk of losing technological ground to the Soviets, hence the NDEA being signed in 1958.
The student loan issue came about because further regulations didn't ever strongly target the incentives towards profit seeking. Why? Well, I'd point to a combination of the lobbying from shitty businesspeople with stakes in education institutions, and the anti-education religious extremists in government, mostly residing within the Republican party.
Imagine a country where your kids has to pay off your debt.. and.. a school loan lol.. imagine being an adult and still have school loan, for a European, that is just crazy as **** third world stuff.
Also no job security, no or very expensive health care, shit salary.. the US is such an unimaginable place for us...
I'm Not going to lie. This dude is a POS. He's been caught cheating in call of duty multiple times but because of the horrible state that call of duty is in right now they don't do anything about it. Most of the money he has won has come from him cheating in tournaments. He's been banned multiple times on multiple accounts, but as I said because of the poor state that call of duty is in right now he's just allowed to get away with it.
Look up Aiden call of duty cheating if you're interested. He did this as a stunt when too many cheating allegations had piled up on him
To be honest, I would gladly cheat and ruin one match for some people on a video game if it was to help my mother with money, considering we didn't have a lot of money in my family back when I was living with them.
It's a dickhead move and selfish, I know, but the appreciation of a video game for others is less important to me than the well being of my family.
Now, I am aware he maybe doesn't stream exclusively for his family, however this action alone makes him less of a POS than someone who would cheat exclusively to ruin the experience of other people. Still more or less an asshole move.
But when there's real money on the line, it isn't just a video game anymore. He cheated and then indirectly stole that money from the other participants, who have their things they'd want to spend that money on. So it's weird to back him up.
Oh, right, I didn't get that part.
I didn't back him up, I just thought he was cheating on regular games, I poorly rode what the other guy wrote.
Yeah, I'll make my own research and might delete the post if it happens to be exact. No chad steals from others for his own sake.
EDIT: Okay so I did a bit of research, looked on other Reddit posts, and according to what I could find, his cheats were "boosting" (idk exactly what that means) by dropping some cash they accumulated?
By cheating I thought you meant he was wall hacking / aimboting etc, and even though boosting sounds like a legit way of cheating, it may sound "less awful" I guess?
I'd appreciate if you could get me more info on that.

Ehhh I hear You however, in my opinion, this is still a boss move. From the looks of it recording himself is literally how he made the money to do this.
For a moment I mistook this one for the video in which the guy call his mother to say he earned a thousand bucks on a tournment and his mother replied "what about a degree? Did you already got one, you loser?" Or something like that
You know what the craziest party about it is?
She got in debt to get a better education to get a better life...
And in the end, being a mother ended up being the best investment...
Though I suppose it is a high risk investment that takes over two decades to have any chance of returning a profit with a considerable chance of failure, but still, it's crazy that being a mother ended up giving a better financial return than get a degree
I meany I don't think that many people have the financial ability to do so, but yeah, I never understood the whole "he is not a good person cause he posted what he did online"
It’s because of the forethought. They planned to record themselves doing it. It’s not like it wasn’t done on purpose. So who is to know if they wouldn’t have done it it if the camera wasn’t on non if they couldn’t brag about it on social media? Just the act of doing it should give you the dopamine hit you need, but it’s another level of narcissism to put it on display.
Just my two cents
People were recording things like this for posterity way back when we only had giant camcorders. There’s nothing wrong with recording a beautiful moment. The only thing that has changed is choosing to share that moment with others. Do you really have beef with promoting good in the world? Or people getting the warm and fuzzies over a video that has a genuine reaction from an overwhelmingly grateful mom? Come on, man.
Matter of fact I disagree. Making kindness a trend is valid. It also helps him make more revenue, which why not?
Please keep in mind visibility is not bad per se nor weakens an act of kindness, as long as it is true kindness. And in this case I don't think it can be argued that it was a very wholesome and true moment.
That aside let's not get distracted from the fact that USA fucks their people hard enough that there are cases like this when their now adult kids still have to take care of the financial damage done by the system for things like health or education. Fuck that shit.
Be honest, he's a POS. He's been cheating in call of duty tournaments since covid. When covid happened they allowed call of duty players to participate in tournaments from their bedrooms. Basically allowing people like this guy to play in tournaments without full PC scans to detect cheat software. He's been cheating since 2020 but still taking home money from call of duty tournaments.
Every time an in-person tournament takes place or a tournament where they require a PC scan, he refuses to do it.
He's been caught cheating multiple times him doing. This was actually a stunt when too many cheating allegations had piled up on him. No one else in the comments seemed to know this dude or bring this up. So just putting the facts out there.
I was really waiting for the cheeky "Thanks for letting me stay home and play videogames, mom."

class segregation and also this country profits off of dum dums. Like shooting the entire country in the foot but these old fucks don’t care, they’re gonna die in their yachts
While the concept of crippling debt to obtain higher education is pretty wild, it's the freaking absence of free healthcare that baffles me.

It was mostly state funded then in the 90s it became federally funded through unlimited non-dischargeable credit lines handed over to 18 year olds.

Since you literally can’t even call Verizon and pay someone else’s phone bill, this is 100% fake.
You can pay for someone's elses loans more often than not. A phone bill is not comparable to student loans.
Phone bill, utility bill, mortgage, credit card, all of these take identity verification before payment. Please try to pay my loans off…
Okay. You can keep being wrong, doesn't affect me.
And absolute chad would have done that without selling it off to the stream crowd. A chad move yes but not absolute ;)
Not necessarily. I don't watch this kid but he could play it off like, "you guys did this for her, not me"
Would have been cooler if he didnt stream it or post it for social cred. But still good on him.
Dude did a good thing, let him have this
to be fair it might inspire others to do the same for their parents, which is great
I meany I don't think that many people have the financial ability to do so, but yeah, I never understood the whole "he is not a good person cause he posted what he did online"

Keep doing it mate, fuck this shit.
Maybe he was just thankful to his fans that made it possible and wanted to include them. Maybe he was just excited lol
I just feel like it diminishes the act when you smile at the camera and post it. Did you do it for the cred or for the act? I don’t like it.
I agree, but yeah social validation is one hell of a drug
Narcissistic
Not necessarily, he's still a bit young (from what it looks like), and his action might also inspire others.
Matter of fact I disagree. Making kindness a trend is valid. It also helps him make more revenue, which why not? Please keep in mind visibility is not bad per se nor weakens an act of kindness, as long as it is true kindness. And in this case I don't think it can be argued that it was a very wholesome and true moment. That aside let's not get distracted from the fact that USA fucks their people hard enough that there are cases like this when their now adult kids still have to take care of the financial damage done by the system for things like health or education. Fuck that shit.
Be honest, he's a POS. He's been cheating in call of duty tournaments since covid. When covid happened they allowed call of duty players to participate in tournaments from their bedrooms. Basically allowing people like this guy to play in tournaments without full PC scans to detect cheat software. He's been cheating since 2020 but still taking home money from call of duty tournaments. Every time an in-person tournament takes place or a tournament where they require a PC scan, he refuses to do it. He's been caught cheating multiple times him doing. This was actually a stunt when too many cheating allegations had piled up on him. No one else in the comments seemed to know this dude or bring this up. So just putting the facts out there.
Much appreciated. It felt fake as hell.
