This is more or less how all frats seemed to me, admittedly, from a distance, so I never got involved with them. Isn't it obvious that they're a throwback to tribes? Chanting, ritualistic violence, binge drinking, etc. I can't understand how anyone can look at that stuff and be attracted to it. I don't want to be a part of a tribe, I want to dismantle all tribes. The question of whether it might have helped my "career" is, to me, totally irrelevant. I'd still never ever be involved with something like I saw in the video. I'd much sooner throw my "career" away completely. I was actually born in Oklahoma. The weirdest thing to me is, even though these kids were saying "nigger", I think if you actually sat down with those kids individually, you'd find out that they don't actually hate black people at all. My best reading of this is that they were actually just sychronizing on some unifying crap, and it didn't really matter what it was. We're all drunk and happy and we're all yelling about the thing that makes us special and different!!!!! They're like dogs in a pack, barking a certain way to know that they are in a pack. They don't hate black people. They don't have any reason to. Just stupid kids being stupid. Certainly, not all frats are anywhere near that bad. But what is the point? Have friends the normal way. Meet people at your local hackerspace. I don't think frats are on the way out at all, because humans don't really change. We're the same people who loved the chariot races. And that makes me a little sad.
