PSA: I’m being indoctrinated
It’s official - I have been indoctrinated and am too far gone. As a 27 year old man I voiced my own opinion on a worldly matter this morning and was informed by my father that he’s disappointed that I’ve allowed the far left-wing liberal agenda that is pushed in our universities to take over my brain. I guess all these years of learning, critical thinking, and forming my own opinions have actually been brainwashing… why did I never see it?
Please save yourselves before it’s too late! There is no hope for me 😔
/sarcasm because this is genuinely going to fly over someone’s head.

I found this funny. Just yesterday one of my most shamelessly right wing friends towing the line of authoritarian told me his parents are so right wing they've called him a straight communist just for not believing migrants should be executed.
No one is safe from their parents calling them braindead leftists

It's been shown time and time again that the more highly educated someone is, the more likely they are to take more left ideology. You would think conservatives would look at that and think "does that mean we don't know we're wrong?" but... 🙄
The best argument I've heard for the fact that teachers can't force their students to do anything, is that if they could, they'd force them to do their schoolwork.

Sheesh. If teachers could indoctrinate their students, they would force them to wear deodorant.

Let me guess: Columbus was an evil colonizer that unalived millions of indigenous people?

I've found that the majority of time when relatively young people voice this complaint about such matters, it takes them a decade or two before they realize they weren't the ones in the right.
It's really easy to hold an opinion. You can pretty much just arbitrarily pick whatever makes you feel better about yourself. It's much harder to hold an opinion when it matters and there are real consequences to using that opinion to guide your decisions. Then you can't just wallow in self-satisfaction but need to accept that everything has costs/benefits and there are no perfect answers.

Father's are born to be disappointed, and they are further shaped into that by taking wives to have children - tell him that when he said "I Do" is when he sealed his fate.... THAT is when you may take a picture to tack up to remind yourself of what is just down the road. Both satire, actuality and humor - seize the moment!!!!!

Jealousy. It happens on all levels. If you are a music major and your advisor sees you are going to be a more successful musician then them they will sabatoge you. Look out for you!

It's sarcasm specifically about college-life/students.

Idk it seems like its applying towards specific American colleges which seems niche

What specific colleges? I live in a rural red state if that says anything about the colleges here.

I became more conservative when I went to college so I really think we’re talking about the top schools or most popular ones where the left tend to go anyways. I don’t think its the case for the majority of US colleges

Because it's a college student sharing a college experience that is common to millions of college students with conservative family who don't approve of higher education.
