MTG IS astoundingly stupid. Boebert couldn’t manage to complete high school. Noem seems to think Habeas Corpus is the name the orange guy gave his “kick anyone out” croquet mallet. Just 3 among many, of the losers who seem to be in charge right now.
And this is why Twitter should be nuked from orbit…
Obviously privately held education will be held to the highest of standards.
And will never indoctrinate. Anyone.
Because the people in power will be held responsible to no one.
Nestle.
Fox.
The US is just not a real country. It’s a horror story to scare the children.
Federally funded school from age 3 to 20 doesn’t sound like education
Yes it does, you bleached Wookie, it sounds exactly like education.
She’s already 6B on the floor since she engaged in personalities bashing Crockett on the floor.
Said something about Jasmine Crockett’s ‘fake eyelashes getting in the way’ so she called her bad built bleach blond butch body
I felt there was a 7th b but she drew the line to not escalate.
Sounds like a stealth insult to bleached Wookies, somehow.
What’s especially fucking dumb is the argument of ‘hurr money out of your pocket’. That shit goes right out the god damned window the second you look at where our taxes go i.e. the budget. Of what we overall pay education is laughably low.
Por when you think about it for more than one second. You went to school. If it wasn’t paid out of taxes it would have had (not a native English speaker, imnot sure if have had is right) to be paid LITERALLY out of your own pocket
its so fucking stupid
anti-tax crazies must think schools and roads are natural phenomenon, and governments made up taxes because fuck you
If you ever want to be angry at the internet download a nostr client. 70% of posts are about bitcoin so you have to block those. After that filter a huge percentage are anti-taxxers, homophones and pro trump. That’s why I left it
Yeah, you have it correct. If taxes don’t pay for it, you pay for it directly.
the military industrial complex gobbling up a sizable chunk of your tax dollars:
Yyyyyup
Says the party that literally wanted to modify the grade school syllabus to teach that the 2020 US election was stolen.
wanted towell, that’s depressing, thanks for clearing it up.
The department head shit was also extremely frustrating. I wanted the position, had been flow out to a leadership conference by the district the summer before, presented a spreadsheet documenting some of my plans for improvement over five years (detailed, worked with some of the best minds in science education.)
But the anti vaxxer applied too. His great plan was “we should focus on more reading.”
I’m sure the fact that I was 🏳️🌈 had zero impact on the principals decision lol. (Anti vaxxer guy did limp wrist impressions of me too. But who the fuck cared.)
Like it’s amazing. Oklahoma just actively does not want capable teachers.
Damn I’m sorry you lost the position to human trash, I’m sad for the kids of your state
The kids are not OK
Such incredibly sore losers…
There’s a reason Oklahoma is 49th for education.
During COVID, the biology teacher at the high school I worked (and later, the fucking department head) was a creationist with a Bible college degree that would compliment students for forgoing masks and explicitly taught anti-vaxx shit.
Climate change is fun too - I put on a PD once and a teacher was really fucking pissed that I was showing data on how Milanokovich cycles do not explain modern climate patterns… literally thought she was going to fight me.
Milanokovich Cycles
That has to be the dumbest excuse for anti-climate change arguments I’ve heard in a while.
Do people really think that every single climate scientist who has dedicated their lives to studying shit that affects the climate, is unaware of and didn’t account for, natural variations in solar energy the Earth receives, which I learned about in elementary school?
Eating food from birth till the day you die? Doesn’t sound like living to me, sounds like an addiction.
Just wait til you hear about water! Everybody who drinks it? Dead. 100% mortality rate, no cure, and once you start, you’re hooked!
Her side would rather have state-funded religious schools from age 3-20.
*state-funded-mandatory
Isnt school already mandatory?
Christmas religions.
Except Catholics, who are somehow too woke.
They could add a Trump figurine to pray to and maybe that would help their image? Less physical motion would also be agreeable with orange man…all the kneeling takes a hold of you. Maybe if trump could be allowed to hear all the confessions that would be awesome too lol.
Holy fuck do the maga just shotgun acid and become the stupidest zombies?
That’s the neat part. It’s weaponized feigned incompetence.
After Noem got the definition of Habeus Corpus exactly wrong in a recent hearing, some Lemmings have suggested that the RNC stooges in power are all playing dumb. Now, I can’t unsee it. It makes sense: play dirty because your aims are underhanded and illegal, and your opposition is both outraged and busy attacking the wrong thing. Every time we all get in a fit about how stupid this sounds, which takes up valuable space and time from doing anything useful.
Edit: it’s like a misbehaving kid that knows if he keeps telling the right kind of lie he can get away with just about anything.
Edit2: In Greene’s case, her “argument” is also signaling being a “useful idiot” to her base for getting the job done.
I mean they would probably be a lot cooler if they were on acid all the time.
They’d probably chill on the whole “let’s make a fascist death cult!” thing too
I wish they would just Heaven’s Gate themselves. Why they gotta drag me into that?
Not how drugs work
The fuck does she think indoctrination means? Oh that’s right, they’ve long given up arguing in good faith. There is no rational point to be made, I always forget that.
It’s a word that has lost most of it’s meaning like communism
Anything she doesn’t already believe.
Indoctrination means ‘My children don’t respect what my gut knows to be true!!!’
She’s got a BA from University of Georgia.
This isn’t an education problem. It’s pure propaganda and the allure of selling out on social media.
Trump graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968 with a bachelor’s degree in economics.
Economics is almost entirely pseudo-science and capitalist indoctrination so that makes sense…
We’re all going to run headlong into a very difficult inflection point in human development as a species very, very soon. Which is the looming divide between people who have no idea how their own minds work, and those who have even a shred of self-awareness.
And not a “facebook/twitter argument” type of self-awareness, but understanding that your intelligence and your understanding of things are entirely separate factors. We are species of cognitive dissonance. It’s baked-in. Everyone, even YOU personally reading this, has some level of contradictory ideas or feelings that you can’t pry apart without effort.
Some people think about how they think, and come to conclusion that they need to make effort to balance out their values and understanding of the world. Other people are going “brain go vroom” and conclude any idea they have, no matter how ridiculous, as long as it aligns with how they feel at that moment, MUST be true because they still think brains are fact-finding machines, not story-telling machines. This is why we have anti-vax doctors and climate-change-denying scientists (although rare) which is because they live in reaction and story-telling, not reason. If anything, education can make it much, much harder to break out of story-telling-reaction mode, because you think your own thoughts far less fallible.
So yeah, education is only part of the problem. We are going to have to figure out ways to teach people self-awareness, how to think about their own thoughts, or we’re going to have billions of brains rotting in an AI/social-media/emotional-porn cesspit in the next decade and they vote and carry guns.
It reminds me of the “missing missing reasons” post, which describes how for some people reality creates emotions, but for other people emotions create reality
The first viewpoint, “emotion creates reality,” is truth for a great many people. Not a healthy truth, not a truth that promotes good relationships, but a deep, lived truth nonetheless. It’s seductive. It means that whatever you’re feeling is just and right, that you’re never in the wrong unless you feel you’re in the wrong. For people whose self-image is so battered and fragile that they can’t bear anything but validation, often it feels like the only way they can face the world.
Give someone 1000$ and them it is for the group they manage But the trick is they can choose how much to give and keep the rest. Maga be keeping it all.
Keep this stuff to politicalmemes community. We non-Americans have enough American news crammed down our throats as it is.
We Americans also have enough.
Tbh it’s the first time I see her name (iirc), and thanks to that everything, including the answer she received, was “amusing” to me.
She pretty much sounds like any of the current right-wing populists and anarchocapitalists. This is an american trend, sadly winning force everywhere… This meme is fully on-topic across the western world :(
I don’t know if it’s winning force so much as it’s being spread by bots and bad actors, although the result is more or less the same. Flooding the zone with their rhetoric makes it look like it’s well supported, which in turns convinces some people that it might not be nonsense.
Stupid freeloading children want us to pay for school when clearly we are low on cash after giving it all to the military!
Solution: give the guns to kids and send them off to war.
We tried the first half and they all shot each other, mission accomplished?
Meaning, she at least recognizes that more education = less radical views? Which is… counter her point of indoctrination.
