    I remember growing up that everyone knew what Marxism is and had a thoroughly developed class consciousness. Everyone was capable of developing a critique of capital. He might be onto something. It explains why America has such strong labor, free universal healthcare, and no bourgeoisie.

    I live in Oklahoma and what they are doing with the public school system is terrifying. Our kids are already at a disadvantage and now they are adding Christian bs and getting rid of books. The next generation of kids to come out of Oklahomas public schools are going to be indoctrinated on a terrifying level

      its actually pretty bad now, posts from r/teacher piqued my interest. and its mostly the teacher saying students are reading at a 1-6 grade level in HS, reading comprehension is very kindergarden at their age, plus writing paragraphs and essays, forget it. also writing, pronouncing is another matter. Math is also pretty poor in these students too.(COVID did kinda make it worst). grammar and paper writing is way above thier “knowledge”

    Was wondering when they were going to start closing down universities for being “communist”. Looks like we’re heading to that stage now.

    Reminder that Bannon plead guilty for fraud because he created a fake “build the wall group” that asked for donations to build a racist wall. Bannon instead pocketed the money using it to live in lavish luxury.

    Dude is opposed to schools because he needs more people to fleece.

    If you want him to succumb to alcoholism faster send him whiskey. Preferably made in mexico to keep his blood pressure up.

    All schooling? Sounds like Steve Bannon wants to ban home schooling and wants to make Sunday school illegal.

      Given that their distractions have increasingly become as destructive if not even moreso than the thing they’re distracting from, it’s possible.

      More likely that’s it’s just culture war bombast designed to reinforce the whole “everyone except us are evil and dangerous” groupthink that they’re using for cohesion, though, IMO.

        I consider that culture war bombast to also be distraction so people don’t fight back against them billionaires.

          Well yeah. That’s what I mean by ensuring cohesion: make them think that every vulnerable and persecuted population group is destroying their lives so that they don’t notice that the least vulnerable and most privileged of all people are the ones ACTUALLY doing so.
