- abcd_f 2y agoYep. Hence the recent push to kneecap the education in States - be it book bans, forced Bible studies or other eye-popping regressions. Watching this unfold across the pond was a bewildering experience.
- ruthmarx 2y agoI would have thought young people having access to the internet would have allowed them to educate themselves and see through bullshit, but apparently not. I really do think this is the beginning of the end for the US. At least I have front row tickets to the show.
- ks2048 2y agoI think this is the middle of the end. The beginning of the end was probably 2000-2001.
- synecdoche 2y agoWho are you calling uneducated? Just because your have an opinion doesn’t make you an authority on what people under other life conditions need to lead a successful life. Speak for yourself.
- ruthmarx 2y ago> Just because your have an opinion doesn’t make you an authority on what people under other life conditions need to lead a successful life. That has nothing to do with anything. Every single person voting on the economy for Trump, blaming Biden for inflation is an example of a lack of education. Just for one example. There's a reason college educated people vote so differently to non college educated people on average.
- synecdoche 2y agoAgain, it’s an opinion. It doesn’t make it so just by having it.
- ruthmarx 2y agoIt's an opinion the way gravity an opinion, and those who disagree have an opinion the way thinking the earth is flat is an opinion. The difference is one is backed by hard data.
