    Except the evil doers are the ones specifically making sure people are uneducated.

    That is exactly the point I am making. I didn’t argue against the point, I argued against the framing

    So instead of framing it as “the population is uneducated” it would be framed as “oligarchs are keeping the population uneducated”…

    Hmmmm while I agree a large uneducated population is a terrible problem, I would not say this is the cause. I would characterize it as a “condition” necessary to get this low.

    I find just saying all problems are because of lack of education feels like an indirect way of saying “If I take advantage of you, it’s only because you let me” which I believe leaves the evil-doers off the hook

    Kind of like saying “the problem with school shootings is because kids are so soft and squishy, they are easily destroyed by bullets” (obviously I am exaggerating here to make my point clearer)













  • This is BS.

    Every single election we are told that economic hardship is the only thing pay attention to. Sure, many of these rubes will continue to be fooled and are irredeemable. But a shit ton are going to notice and eventually get tired of getting fucked.

    I am not saying they will stop voting republicans because they do seem to like the pain, but they would sure as hell eat the current administration
