Americans generally have to really go out of their way to have anything approaching a rudimentary understanding of terms like socialism or Marxism. We do a terrible job explaining anything about these things in schools.  Part of that is very much deliberate.  People don’t like to acknowledge it but our schools do a shit ton of ‘merica Cold War era propaganda.  A big part of that is brainless misunderstanding of those terms.  Whitewashing actual history etc and just straight up not discussing things. 
 

like think back to what you learned about the school of the Americas in school.  If you heard anything about it at all.

Right on cue, except Blarg didn't go on one of his 5-paragraph rants.

I've heard so many right-leaning folks throw around words like socialist and marxist to describe everything from expanding healthcare access to government support during the pandemic.

Right on cue? It was two hours later.

When have I ever used my college degree (from almost 10 years ago) to defend my positions? The only person who ever brings it up is Blarg. 

People rag on each other here and make generalizations all the time. I can't count the number of times Blarg in particular has berated me.

It doesn't make me right for doing it, though. I'm going to try to be more thoughtful going forward. I appreciate the reality check (seriously).

BTW, have you completed your homework on the Pastor or are you avoiding that subject?

You know, since you lost that argument.

Homework, go back and find the post I am referring to if you can remember as far back as yesterday. It had to do with invalidating people's degrees from Universities to appease revenge politics. 

Do you think invalidating people's degrees is something I support?

Funny, I just had a memory of one of my very liberal college professors advocating to invalidate (Democrat) Rod Blagojevich's Pepperdine law degree after his impeachment and his corruption was revealed.

I think in certain unique cases where a person abuses their power, and the university wants to revoke their degree, then whatever. But I don't support mass invalidating of people's degrees based simply on their political beliefs. However, something tells me that's never been a possibility and is a blatant strawman.
