"LibRehab" is a place to point people to when they showcase clear signs of Liberalism (not in a mean way). It is also a place to proactively destroy your liberalism before it becomes counterrevolutionary.
Posts here should be a mix of simplified theory, countering of historical revisionism / anti-communist talking points, and a nonjudgmental space for those on the journey of deprogramming their mind.

meme: what no theory does to a mfer
high level: This article hand-wrings and does grievance politics about decades old critiques of standardized testing without explaining them or addressing them. Also if you're gonna be mad at liberals or whatever it should be clear that you're a leftist and this article takes the facts-and-logical guy approach which is a red flag.
low level: The author is literally wrong seemingly every other sentence and it's only hidden by circular reasoning. Many sentences are essentially: "People with higher SAT scores were better at getting into college, so the SAT is good at predicting whether someone will get into college." Ironic given that this guy clearly wants to be really 'looking-at-the-numbers', 'data-driven', etc, etc. If he actually tried to stay on topic and not immediately complain about 'liberals' being mean to his friends, the SAT, the article would start breaking down immediately because he has nothing to say besides "how dare people question established power."
