It probably won't be immediately obvious when it happens, but seeing headlines like this makes me wonder if and when the US will cross the threshold where the social reproduction of class relations will deteriorate entirely. It has always been the objective of capitalists to extract as much surplus labor power from the proletariat as possible, but there has always been a floor. No matter what, they need to provide the proletariat with the bare necessities to eek out a meager existence and reproduce themselves as a class. They can't just whip the labor pool to death in the fields. Eventually there will be no labor pool left, and if that happens there will be no capitalists left either.
Things like this seem not only destructive to society, but destructive to the established class relations themselves. Is all this worth it just so they can own the libs? It's not like we're living in feudal times. The economy is highly dependent on literate, skilled labor. Particularly if these demons hope to exorcise the specter of communism. This country is dead set on embarking on a second cold war and they aren't even willing to teach their kids. Who's going to put whitey on the moon this time around?

I unironically think where already gearing up for that, based on what I experienced and saw growing up during the No Child Behind era and having teachers tell us schools are getting defunded so x, y, and z every year and seeing how weird and fucked up highschool was by the end of my time I have to imagine the generations of kids born past like the mids 2000's are deeply fucked in so many ways. I heard from some 20 year old kid at my job that when he was in highschool they didn't even have permanent teachers for a lot of classes because they can't retain them/there literally aren't fucking any because no one wants to do it.
Anecdotal but I remember the most what the fuck moment I've had in a while was when I was reading r/teachers or teaching and some kindergarten teachers were talking about how they've noticed a fair increase in kids who aren't even potty trained....5-6 years old and not even potty trained. What the fuck. Based on what I've seen in my life this isn't hard to believe, I've seen moms at my job facetiming their fucking kids because they work 12 hour shifts. I remember at my last last job we had employees would leave their kids in the lobby unattended because they had no other way to like....deal with them.
Imagine how deeply fucked in the head you're going to be when BOTH of your parents work shitty minimium wage jobs to make ends meet and you have the whole sphere of weird internet shit and rapidly decaying institutions all around you with zero hope that it's ever going to get better. Ever.
I've had professors comment on this too, a lot of people who went through schools before Reagan always tends to comment on how fucking stupid the average person has gotten. I had an art history professor who told us he would get heavily drunk and cry his eyes out thinking about how much dumber the kids he was teaching now versus in 2000 or the 90's because he knew that "you guys are getting screwed in so many ways" and he would talk about how the college system was being made worse all the time...
I've seen lots of European college professors complaining about the academic levels of US exchange students. You don't see it happening the other way round.
Euro bad, obviously, but at least they're not doing the same kind of frontal assault on education as in the US.
They'll just import more labor and export more jobs. I assume that the floor of labor collapse is infinite when you have imperialism... Education however does not have a good fix. Even if they be more debt lenient and give everyone a loan for training/schooling and even then people will be unwilling cuz it's not free and not gonna reliably improve their life unless they move out of the country. The government wants to always do the big libs vs chuds show but with this pandemic, they underestimated it and put it into the show so anything serious done about it will be unwanted by at least half of America. And as much of the propaganda exists, it will have diminishing returns if everyone's dying and being replaced. It's important to us as leftists to do praxis and agitprop before the grinder eats everyone... As for the tipping point of all of that, it's gonna be when consumer goods dry up/becomes too luxury and basic utilities (water, internet, electricity, etc.) start becoming scarce and some sort of protracted movement is built because it's clear that crisis alone won't set anything off.
So, they're just straight-up murdering kids now, hmm?
It's clear at this point that they want to kill people.
It's a little different in SC. SC schools are straight up prohibited by state law from enforcing mask mandates, but several school districts have sued, and the current status is that the ban is temporarily suspended by a federal judge.
Imagine willingly trying to infect children with a dangerous infectious disease, just to pretend things are back to normal, so people will go shopping again.
Death to America :amerikkka:
Jesus Christ. And that kid is just SO PRECIOUS :powercry-1:
