      This is what reactionary actually means btw. The actual definition. It's a self-destructive clamping down on the inevitable shifts of civilisations.

      These people genuinely have no clue that the world has moved on and that publicly educated populace is now intrinsic to having a functioning society, even a capitalist one. It is the proverbial toothpaste outside the tube; it's not going back.

      At this point in time, to destroy public education is to destroy your civilisation, and I have no clue what the end goal of people who want it is other than "longing for an era that never existed" idealism.

        The end goal is very immediate power and money without specific regard to what happens afterwards.

          Q4 : + 25.7% growth from investments into Gun Town and The Bullet Farm under Baron Crackskull

      ah but if the American workforce becomes largely illiterate due to caste based education then the parts of the economy that depend on people following instructions/and or working with computers will be in trouble.

      America might soon learn why communist states put so much focus on literacy

      Honestly the irony is that if we reduce shit to peasentry quick enough, we may live long enough to see some sort of Maoist insurrection. These people don't get that education is the best form of propoganda, and the more 'educated' someone is the harder it is to convince them of basic truths like LTV. Literally cutting off their nose to spite thier face.

        yeah the chuds are morons and think public schools teach "liberal Marxist indoctrination" or whatever which is probably why they think they are a threat. But in reality they just teach normal liberalism that justifies the American empire and spins it's flaws into positives (plus a few useful skills). That system has been clutch for the American empire for a long time, through colonialism and the cold war. Now the chuds want to destroy it because Facebook told them there they is furry naptime and gay porn constantly screening at schools.

        But if they decide to ban public schools I'm just gonna open my own people's schools (like the CCP did in China) and I'll show those chuds what REAL Marxist indoctrination looks like. My students will be quoting Lenin within the week.
