    Teaching is a noble profession. People will do it for minimal compensation. “You can tell this by the way that it is.”

    Trading your soul and being asked to commit atrocities on the cheap is a hard sell. They’ll need to pay them so well they are afraid to lose such a lucrative gig and will abandon their morals for it. A shit economy actually strengthens this effect further.

      Can I take the job for a while and be comically inept and borderline corrupt like Colonel Klink in Hogans Heroes?

      “WERE PAYING YOU OVER $300,000 A YEAR AND YOU HAVE HAD 50% ESCAPES!?!”

      “Yeah… its the damnedest thing…”

        If you think you can do so and not be found out, charged with treason and summarily executed like the people who did similar in Nazi occupied territory. If you don’t think you are comfortable with that possibility, probably best to avoid the situation.

      This is among the dumbest things that I regularly hear.

      I’ve also heard that kids will work in mines for minimal compensation because it’s so noble.

      Moral bullshit in service to capitalist oppression.

      Trading your soul and being asked to commit atrocities on the cheap is a hard sell.

      It’s a very easy sell for fascists without a soul. It’s literally what they’ve been organizing for. It’s a fundamental platform of their daddy.

        Adults have more agency than children. We know teachers will work for less because they do. We also know some adults take advantage of children, because they do. They arent related.
