Honestly it’s probably too late for many adults who have succumbed to the psychological manipulation tactics of politicians and the media.
If we want to save this country we need to start teaching children and young adults to recognize the signs of manipulative behavior in school.
This will of course be strongly opposed by the media, politicians, and advertisers, all of which rely on these tactics to make a profit.and by the parents. At this point teaching signs of manipulative behavior and logic 101 like recognizing fallacies would be considered liberal endoctrination by the cultists.
Which is exactly WHY republican politicians are trying to destroy libraries, school curriculum, etc. Uneducated people are easier to manipulate.
Also it creates this weird sort of weird feedback loop of idiocy which is really hard to break. By that I mean, you cut funding for things like schools and libraries, and that naturally leads to a generation that’s less well educated than the one before, who will then vote for more dumb shit like cutting funding schools and libraries, which then makes the next generation even less well educated and so on.
And that in return will let the well educated rather stay in a regular job where more money can be made with a brain (STEM) than with their mouth (politics).
And when they are hired for their “professional” opinion and recommendation and recommend the inverse of wanted or expected, they will be ignored to hell and beyond or get their words twisted beyond any resemblance to it’s original.If you think STEM’s the only thing you need your brain for, maybe you’re not as smart as you think.
Otherwise, not wrong.
Best example of the top of my head.
Plenty of people in politics are very smart. Those people just tend to be on the policy side rather than the campaign side.
The Republican Party in Texas already have had opposition to critical thinking as a plank in their platform. I suspect it is no accident. Cannot have too many critical thinkers out there, that will make it very hard to recruit people into their
cult“party”.And now you see why education gets less effective funding with each generation, and why gun hazard is apparently considered just part of being a teacher.
News sank to being edutainment. The outrageous gets air time and eyes while actual news that can be used is boooorrriiinnnggg. Then, we have to have the obligatory awww and feel good story at the end.
Reagan was a symptom, not the cause of the disease. The press has always acted like Watergate was simultaneously a moment of pride and a moment of shame.
Ronald Reagan was a actor, not at all a factor
Just an employee of the country’s real masters.Ronald Reagan was a actor, not at all a factor
Slap a symmetric, charismatic face on shit, and people will eat it up.
Amazing song
I’ll leave you with these 4 words / I’m glad Reagan dead.
LOLOLOL presidents “work” LOL thats funny.
Honestly american culture and its politics are rothen and they absolutetly brought this upon yourselves, just straight up, ehile the whole regan admin ended up having the effect of making the world the hellscape it is and it seems to not be slowing down, right now censorship is gaining a very real foot (in both sides) and its been working its way to make the religious nuts into full on nuts, and while they probably have been this way since the begining, religion kinda limited their madness by scaring them into believing they where gona go to hell if they didnt behave, but their bipartisan bullshit managed to replace religion in their minds and Just make them dance to wathever bullshit their favorite politician spews out this week.
And the left is no better, you guys used to promote anti-hate and freedom of speech, but now, What the hell happened to you? their head is so up their own assess that they became what they sought out to destroy, instead of promoting sane discussion they relegated into bipartisan tribalism and started censoring people they didnt agree with, even going as far as to defend the democratic party, even if their interests are as against the general population as the republicans, but since they where the ones that supposedly didn’t want to oppress social groups (even if they totally still fucking do just look at the fucking border ffs) they are right and everything they spew out is right, and while trying to make a safe space online, in academia, and in political discourse, is just naive, promoting respectful language and tolerance to diferent social groups is not a bad thing, but the way they handle it is the definition of “the road to hell is paved with good intentions”, specially in media.
They ended up making bipartisan hate grow into the other side on top of the hate they already had, and politicians (democrats and republicans ) took full advantage of this and we have what we have now in the political big picture.
American politics is just a fucking reality show now and I believe they deserve it, only problem is they take the rest of the world between their crotch and fuck us all up since they rule the world/economy. I really hope those guys wake up from their bipartisan bitch slapping nightmare and start fighting the real war which is the class war. Against, you know, the only assholes that get benefited by you too infighting.
Anyhow rant over, down votes to the right. But whrite a comment first, i really whant to hear why you disagree.
You’re going to have a hard time finding anyone who understands what in the hell you’re trying to say in the first place, let alone someone who can figure out how to “disagree” with whatever it is. Why don’t you pick a single argument, make it concisely without any major spelling errors, and we can go from there?
Nice i have a fan.
But seriously now, im not trying to make it one, i just really wanted discussion from this thought i had, but i havent seem to find any, just people attacking me and not the subject, its a little disapointing. What im trying to convey is that they are becoming to attached to their political parties when it really shouldnt be like that in the first place at least in my opinion. But if you whant to call me an idiot and stalk my comments anyways then go ahead.
