What is the story with all the callout threads about degrees?

I have been lurking after many years and I noticed that. Would I be called out if I say I am working on a Master's part time at a laughably low ranked state school? It is nothing to brag about but I am afraid if I ever mention it I will be attacked. Have people been caught lying about that? I don't remember anything like that years ago.

The irony of all of this is that only the leftists have to prove their credentials, apparently.

There are right-wingers here who claim to have PhDs, and one who claims he has two. I don't see them being endlessly harassed to provide evidence of their credentials.

Seems one's education is only in doubt if one is anti-MAGA.
Back off, Warchild.

Seriously.

It is politically driven? I know there was always a split with miscers and politics but I am curious as to when this change happened? I really don't recall anyone being called out for saying they had a degree back then. Although, it rarely ever came up back then too, at least from what I remember.

It's only with Bodhy, and it's probably due to him being a bloviating pseudo intellectual who is also a massive ****ot. I don't recall what exactly started the whole call out thing, but I imagine it was probably due to him using his supposed education to validate his nonsense. If he didn't give a shyt, the whole thing would have died.

I have a Masters, and I don't give a shyt if anyone here believes me or not. That degree doesn't really mean shyt, and that's part of why I don't give a damn about whether he's in a PhD program or not. I have enough experience with academia to not give a shyt about someone's "education level"...plenty of idiots and losers who can't accomplish anything in the real world hiding out in that realm. Judge what I post on it's own merit.

I definitely think one's education is only called into question if they are leftist. Since there are right-wingers here who claim to be more educated than I am, yet no one questions their credentials. Plus, the skepticism isn't really warranted in either of our cases. You said you attempted your doctorate but didn't complete? I believe that. No reason to fraud about that.

What did I say? I said I'm in the PhD program and finished the first draft of my thesis. That's not actually a really outlandish claim. Besides, I think we are both fairly articulate and eloquent so being in grad school is certainly no stretch of the imagination on my end.


I'd have a much more difficult time believing some no avi, chicken nugget gobbling conspiracy theorist nutjub is in grad school than either of us.
Back off, Warchild.

Seriously.

So provide some evidence where I claimed the PhD bolstered my argument, or I was obnoxiously boasting about being in a PhD, or acted like I was better than someone for being in a PhD.


In b4 nothing, as per usual, and LargePenisEater shows to be just making chit up.
Back off, Warchild.

I am not "Wincel" or "Bodhy" I am an old school miscer back from the dead. Bodhy I think you are confusing me with someone else. I hope to be in a PhD program one day (maybe have nor decided if I will even try). I am older and I have a lot to think about before I even attempt that.
