    The fuck does she think indoctrination means? Oh that’s right, they’ve long given up arguing in good faith. There is no rational point to be made, I always forget that.

      Tbh it’s the first time I see her name (iirc), and thanks to that everything, including the answer she received, was “amusing” to me.

      She pretty much sounds like any of the current right-wing populists and anarchocapitalists. This is an american trend, sadly winning force everywhere… This meme is fully on-topic across the western world :(

        I don’t know if it’s winning force so much as it’s being spread by bots and bad actors, although the result is more or less the same. Flooding the zone with their rhetoric makes it look like it’s well supported, which in turns convinces some people that it might not be nonsense.

    Federally funded school from age 3 to 20 doesn’t sound like education

    Yes it does, you bleached Wookie, it sounds exactly like education.

      She’s already 6B on the floor since she engaged in personalities bashing Crockett on the floor.

      Said something about Jasmine Crockett’s ‘fake eyelashes getting in the way’ so she called her bad built bleach blond butch body

      I felt there was a 7th b but she drew the line to not escalate.

    She’s got a BA from University of Georgia.

    This isn’t an education problem. It’s pure propaganda and the allure of selling out on social media.

      We’re all going to run headlong into a very difficult inflection point in human development as a species very, very soon. Which is the looming divide between people who have no idea how their own minds work, and those who have even a shred of self-awareness.

      And not a “facebook/twitter argument” type of self-awareness, but understanding that your intelligence and your understanding of things are entirely separate factors. We are species of cognitive dissonance. It’s baked-in. Everyone, even YOU personally reading this, has some level of contradictory ideas or feelings that you can’t pry apart without effort.

      Some people think about how they think, and come to conclusion that they need to make effort to balance out their values and understanding of the world. Other people are going “brain go vroom” and conclude any idea they have, no matter how ridiculous, as long as it aligns with how they feel at that moment, MUST be true because they still think brains are fact-finding machines, not story-telling machines. This is why we have anti-vax doctors and climate-change-denying scientists (although rare) which is because they live in reaction and story-telling, not reason. If anything, education can make it much, much harder to break out of story-telling-reaction mode, because you think your own thoughts far less fallible.

      So yeah, education is only part of the problem. We are going to have to figure out ways to teach people self-awareness, how to think about their own thoughts, or we’re going to have billions of brains rotting in an AI/social-media/emotional-porn cesspit in the next decade and they vote and carry guns.

    What’s especially fucking dumb is the argument of ‘hurr money out of your pocket’. That shit goes right out the god damned window the second you look at where our taxes go i.e. the budget. Of what we overall pay education is laughably low.

      Por when you think about it for more than one second. You went to school. If it wasn’t paid out of taxes it would have had (not a native English speaker, imnot sure if have had is right) to be paid LITERALLY out of your own pocket

          If you ever want to be angry at the internet download a nostr client. 70% of posts are about bitcoin so you have to block those. After that filter a huge percentage are anti-taxxers, homophones and pro trump. That’s why I left it

      That’s the neat part. It’s weaponized feigned incompetence.

      After Noem got the definition of Habeus Corpus exactly wrong in a recent hearing, some Lemmings have suggested that the RNC stooges in power are all playing dumb. Now, I can’t unsee it. It makes sense: play dirty because your aims are underhanded and illegal, and your opposition is both outraged and busy attacking the wrong thing. Every time we all get in a fit about how stupid this sounds, which takes up valuable space and time from doing anything useful.

      Edit: it’s like a misbehaving kid that knows if he keeps telling the right kind of lie he can get away with just about anything.

      Edit2: In Greene’s case, her “argument” is also signaling being a “useful idiot” to her base for getting the job done.

    Obviously privately held education will be held to the highest of standards.

    And will never indoctrinate. Anyone.

    Because the people in power will be held responsible to no one.

    Schools are for indoctrinating children, guys. Train them to fight their biology, conform to a factory setting, and have knowledge presented as something frustrating and difficult obtain. You guys just want them indoctrinated the “correct way” from teachers s stupid and out of date as you are.
