These guys have a host of other political satire videos as well for those interested.

That was... oddly terrifying.

Also... privilege points! I came up with that on this forum a few months ago.

I feel plagiarised.

I really loved the comment from Youtube to this video:

This video is racist because there are no black people in it.

[StayTuned]

This was disturbing.

But I also didn't really notice any of that during my studies. We were purely achievement driven.... so it's not everywhere like that.

The ending is pretty spot on, it's kinda how this works in general and why even a relative small group can already do and enforce it.

This was disturbing.

But I also didn't really notice any of that during my studies. We were purely achievement driven.... so it's not everywhere like that.

It's achievment driven here also but this kind of grading is already slowly seeping into various classes, some such as politics depending on the tutor more than others. Also government studies have shown that teachers do in fact grade based on things such as genders altough most often without recognizing they're doing it. :|

Can somebody sum the video for people who cannot watch it at work?

I think the most telling line in the video is when the teacher takes 2 points off of his paper because she 'doesn't like him'. Its why so much of the PC culture shenanigans are actually about certain people gaining power, and not actually about what they are espousing.

There is one flaw in the video though, and that is that it portrays the supposedly 'disadvantaged' Asian student as reaping the benefits of the system. In real life, the people who have power and reap the benefits in this system seem to be predominantly wealthy white leftists.

its a math class. They are all overly sensitive and do their best not to offend anyone. New kid in class thinks its bullshit. They turn in a paper. They add up all the scores and divide it by the number of papers so everyone is "equal". Then they add privilege points. Minus 1 if ur white, straight, cis gendered... Add points if ur gay, retarded, brown.... The retard Asian tranny gets the highest score even tho he did the least work. "facts don't matter, only feelings do"

This is an actual recording of a math class in the US right?

Nah its a fictional work. Things are exaggerated to a prove a point.

So they make up a reality, a manufactured position that doesn't exist in real life, and proves a point you already had in your mind.

Why are you always so polarizing? You have to turn everything into an argument and it gets really old. Someone asked for a summarization and now you are arguing with me.

No, I am just stating facts. You enjoy fantasy worlds where your prejudices exist.

If you had engaged either brain cell one or mouse click one, you might have noticed this wasn't based on or set in the U.S. That said, it does pretty well satirize the batshit descent in value of a university education over the last few decades.

Sounds like a wet dream to certain lefties...not all, but some.

This is why university education is not in demand anymore for vocational or careers choices over the decades.

This is a really good summary, maybe should be edited into the OP for those who can't watch the video.

Still, very good video.

Shows how delusional and creepy SJWs are.

Sometime you wonder if it's true or not. It's exaggerated for comedic purposes, but the reality isn't all that far. The only difference is that people wouldn't actually stand up and speak against the common way of thinking as the protagonist did here.

It's reductio ad absurdum, basically taking the slippery slope argument to an extreme potential conclusion. It doesn't seem like you are making your arguments in good faith, since you asked for a summary and then attacked somebody for summarizing.
