It's easy to control people if they're uneducated. The purposeful dumbing down in North America has been going for decades. The US wouldn't let their slaves read and write for a reason. They've been starving public education for years; and there was a big push to reject "brainwashing" from school. They profited off homeschooling. As a result, people don't know how to learn or critically think. When you can't do those things, and you combine propaganda through social media, then you can get away with whatever you want. So uneducated "reject" intellectualism because they are essentially intellectually lazy and operating under belief instead of logic. Just a few thoughts, I have more but my thumbs are tired.
Conspiracy slop.
People on here will never admit it, but Covid has done irreparable damage to the public's trust in elite institutions.
The NIH experts, our big tech overlords and their content moderators on sites like YT/Reddit, the New York Times all actively suppressed information that was pertinent to the origins and spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. Much of this information turned out to be true. Now we have a whole generation young kids that are severely developmentally delayed both intellectually and socially as a result of school closures and lack of social interaction. The result?
This populist moment, Trump seeing his numbers improve in virtually every county in the country, etc. The pendulum will eventually swing back, but not for a while.
Oh wow a real answer. Still downmarseyd to the bottom of the thread tho
In the US it comes down to a 60 year war on public education; brought to you by the GOP.
