    I know this is satire and all, but I will never understand how :grillman: thinks that the government is indoctrinating children in a way that teaches them to question the current status quo. No "literally 1984" regime would have an education system that says "Yes, we are the bad guys. Please revolt against us!"

      They think the government is indoctrinating kids because a very small subset of schools teach that black people may or may not have had a great time during antebellum america

      Ok, they think the government has already been revolted against and overthrown. They think large parts of the country are already socialist and it's an ongoing process to eventually convert everyone to a leftist.

      Someone smart has probably written a book on this, but they believe there's a physical government (often called the deep state), but also a true ideal version of the government that exists more as an abstract set of values than a physical structure. The true government is the one they want, or think they want, and it's a mythical combination of American Protestantism and the year 1776. To them, there was a sudden break in when America stopped being the Real America, and curiously that always happens to be around when the civil rights act was passed and segregation was outlawed. Huh that's weird.

      So their patriotism is to this mythical, forgone white paradise, whereas the current government is one that's already been taken over by commie atheist gay muslim hologram demons. And that's the indoctrination they say kids are getting, which is loyalty to this new socialist order that's already gained control of society.

      They're deranged reactionaries basically, it's the same thing reactionaries everywhere believe. That true society is somewhere in the past and there was a somewhat recent break or humiliation that caused everything to become bad because "they" gained power

      I live in the forests of Peru, on a mountain slope leaning towards the VRAEM.

      My name is Abimael Guzman. I'm 58 years old.

      I believe in taking care of myself, in a balanced diet, in a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll pack snow on my face while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now.

      After I brush off the snow, I use a smuggled-in deep-pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a gel cleanser looted off of a counterrevolutionary union organizer.

      Then a ceviche-scented bodyscrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel-scrub. Then I apply an quinoa-based facial masque, which I leave on for ten minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine.

      I always use a beard conditioner with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm, followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

      There is an idea of a Chairman Gonzalo. Some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me. Only an entity-- something illusory.

      And though I can hide my cold gaze...

      and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours...

      and maybe you can even sense our ideologies are probably comparable,

      I simply am not there.

        This is accurate, but I made the anti-aging balm out of the stem cells I harvested from boiled infants

        Kinda cool tbh. They grew some mushrooms and noticed the mycelium networks can behave like logic circuits. They propose that these could be used as large scale sensors, though it's unclear how they'd get the mushrooms to behave the way they want to.

          I just laughed at them including such a random article in the background. Although maybe mushroom computers is something that chuds really hate the idea of, like the whole ”I will not eat the bugs” thing? I dunno.
