I’m more surprised that this wasn’t the title for today’s strip. I don’t think I’ll be surprised if it’s not the title for the volume, but only because I have more going on in my life than your comments section people and I sincerely doubt I’ll remember saying this when the kickstarter happens.

So journalism school is an actual example of how any school at all is portrayed when counter-institutionalists talk about systemic indoctrination? Mostly because it’s an actual example of systemic indoctrination?

Family typically have a couple decades to earn a baseline amount of respect to be tolerable. Sounds like a lot of wasted time at this point. Go get a hug from Echo, see which person is having a bigger impact on you, and talk with her about why that is. Seems like it would be good for both of you.
