Americans are just people. No better or worse than others, no different in their behavior given the same inputs.

- throwawayforare 2y agoI suppose broader access to education and free information should influence people's behavior. Perhaps that's why people in the medieval era were less civil. Even today, some societies still deny women the right to education—clearly, some are better, and some are worse.

And education is only as good as the content and teachers. There is outright antipathy to learning in the current ruling party and its supporters. The supporters don't like being "looked down on" by the more-educated and that's valid. But they don't mind being looked down on and treated badly by the wealthy, which is weird.
