-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Yep. Foucalt nailed that one, absolutely dead to rights.
I graduated in the last class before my old school got torn down. Went on a tour of the new building while it was under construction and even the normies on the tour could tell that the place looked like a prison, complete with panopticon pods connected to the main building by long spokes with actual guard bunkers at the base of each spoke.
The prior building was a completely open plan of many disconnected buildings with tons of windows and green spaces.
When the normies know that something fucked is happening you know it's gotten real bad.
I feel you. I had communal showers a couple of years and I don't remember any specific violence, but I do remember it being uncomfortable.
I would like to look in to how communal bathing ties in to America's nudity taboo and how it's changed over the years. The idea is completely unthinkable now, but communal bathing has been pretty normal across cultural and across history, even non-sexual unisex communal bathing in a few places. And then in America it's illegal to teach sex ed or show a nipple on tv.
Agreed. I don't remember any time where high school showers were presented as something social, communal, soothing. Everyone knew they were embarassing and a place where bullying was particularly vicious.
Meanwhile, when I was really little my father took me to a workout club that was mostly old guys, and they'd all kind of hang out butt ass naked in the locker room, talking about whatever, completely comfortable and unbothered. It was nominally the same - communal bathing, but the absolute opposite vibe.
