I love it when the old internet pokes its head up. Hadn't seen this gif in at least a decade.

What are "social caring responsibilities" as it is framed as something that is not using the same routes the those going to work? Are they talking about types of employment that do not use the same routes as regular workers? I found the article confusing.

>e obviously pressured and coerced these girls

He pressured them. Did he coerce them? I keep seeing this term being used. To coerce is to persuade using force or threats. Did that happen?

Yeah, he's smug. And he can be very reductive, especially when going for his punch lines. But I don't think the "he hates young people" thing really works.

He's a liberal, grounded in enlightenment values. He isn't is a progressive, grounded in oppressed/oppressor dialectic of critical theory that has trickled down the youthful online crowd.

And that's okay. It may not be "right," as if something is right in that way, but it is a legitimate intellectual position. Pretending that it isn't is pure close-mindedness. We live in a world profoundly shaped by enlightenment thinking that has given us some bad shit but also some very good stuff.
