The Institutions

They are great! Wait.... What the hell do you mean 'I'm fired'!? These institutions as shit. Unbelievably corrupt. Can't they see that I'm better than everyone?
Hym "Right!? Fuck the institutions that cast you from their ranks. The students shouldn't be paying them. They could be paying that money to YOU! That's who they should be paying. You. Not the people threw you out of your profession like a used up jizz rag. And now (and yes I know you're not supposed to start sentences with "and" because I'm technically one of the greatest writers of all time) that you have an army of deluded sycophants, you can exploit them maximally. It's not parasitical when you do it. I mean.... how else are you going to impose your universalized ethic on the world!?"
