Terrifying how many of our medical experts are barely holding on throughout the last two years with all this violence against them

      They are having parties with other elites, they don't give any attention to stuff like this.

      Politics is individual brand consumption. This probably makes them mildly upset, but that's just reassurance that they're consuming the correct brand of politics

      I don't think this is totally an issue of education though - there are plenty of people that are pretty smart that also have the :brainworms:

        I've honestly given up trying to understand it. It doesn't help with the mixed messages our government has been giving people, they don't appear any more knowledgeable than some rando trying to sell essential oils at this point. Like I'm some random schmuck and even I could have done a better job.

        Can't wait for five months or so from now when Fauci says that most Americans won't need any more boosters, and then changes his mind within a month when some other variant pops up. If I didn't have a biochemistry degree I probably wouldn't know who to believe either.

          Constantly 2 weeks ahead of the news and the government because I can rub a few brain cells together.

          I'm pretty sure Fauci knows better, it's just his job to lie.

        general "education" doesn't necessarily do anything, but if education wasn't just workforce preparation it could help IMO

      I've been watching TPUSA's Americafest and it brings me no pleasure to report it seems they're going with the latter.

          no gems, only brainworms.

          I got to see Gym Jordan walk out onto a stage to a banger house track, a guy with no arms and no legs talk about how abortion is basically slavery, Jimmy John (from the sandwich chain) break down in tears about how he neglected his children growing up, and to be honest I'm not sure how much of it was a fever dream.

          E: Day three so far I've seen O'Keefe's/Project Veritas' life story as told through interpretive dance and Seb Gorka spend 10 minutes talking about how he didn't have to hire Coyote's to get into god's chosen nation. Apparently my fever hasn't broken yet.

          E: More to the point of original comment: "Back then, my parents fled to the US from a communist dictatorship. If America falls... WE. WILL. HAVE. NOWHERE. TO. RUN. TO." applause -Lion of Budapest

          E: I don't know who Benny Johnson is but they staunchly believe Star Wars and Mean Girls are right-wing allegories and stories about conservative hero figures.

            No shock from me that the elephant-murdering psycho is also a terrible father

      We haven't yet got to the point where the inmates are running the asylum, and they can't think in the long term.

      There is no saving this. There is only collapse.

      Western Communists can only pick up the pieces.

      The rich and powerful got exactly what they wanted. They sold themselves the rope.

      when they see stories like this

      They don't. They're shielded from this reality. They never have to witness the horror.
