re: I sent a conservative son to college and got a socialist in return

Sounds like he needs to share his wealth with you, so go ahead and bill him for services.

how wonderful socialism is and that no one deserves to have millions and millions of dollars "Who needs that much money"

Well, in true socialism there are effectively still millionaires. Historically, those in power have become quite wealthy.

Hell, look at how wealthy our politicians become right now.

I bet there’s a girl involved.

For real.

The young and idealistic have gravitated towards progressivism for a long time. Hell, my own father was a hippie. He eventually was receptive to reason and nobody would mistake him for a progressive today.

I am hoping a lot of these "cut him off" comments are in jest. People legit want their kids to be NPCs and avoid any self development or realization. That's the mentality of a cult and you only create drones with cults.

Her kid has been turned into an NPC by living in a simulation of a real world that doesn’t exist. Cutting off his Matrix umbilical cord that’s allowing him to live this way is the opposite of making him an NPC.

College is a time to explore new things, but intelligent people realize that the summer camp vibes don’t last forever and that there’s a real world out there that doesn’t follow the rules of a confined controlled environment funded by outside means.

Someone posted a very interesting article on this site where a young lady literally had to be deprogrammed after she went to college. She went in a normal college-aged girl and came out a raging man-hating, America-hating, Leftist.

Here's the article:

That’s when she said her relationship with her mother, whom she once considered a best friend, changed.

"I felt I had to teach her how she was wrong and expose her and to do that with everyone who didn’t see things correctly," Rockwell said. "The professors encouraged alienation [from parents] and even offered their homes to stay in. They’d say, like, ‘Don’t go see them, come stay with us for the holiday.’ Most of my classmates believed all this stuff, too. If you didn’t, you were ostracized."

Her mother, Melinda Rockwell, told the Post she believed that her daughter had been brainwashed. She admitted that during one heated argument at the family’s Palm Beach, Florida, home, she threw a vase through a window in anger over what had become of her daughter. In addition to the costly "deprogrammer," she also enlisted help from her daughter’s former tennis coach, Scott Williams, but was warned it might take seven years before Annabella would revert to her old ways of thinking.

Mom and daughter.

Repo everything you've given him. Send him a bill for the education you've provided.

Down size and tell him no vacancy at home.

Adulting is hard, be his parent, not his friend.
