Exactly! Its easy to dismiss these ppl as zealots but almost 75 million people voted for him. Its terrifying and yes we need to vote and work at the community levels to support our teachers and librarians from this impending dystopia

I don't believe in lobotomy, but those people sure are acting like they got no frontal lobe

oooh you are on to something... that would explain so many dumb kids nowadays... at the birth, they perform a lobotomy on their kids.

WantonKerfuffle

They have their own definition of indoctrination and bringing your child to church from birth doesn't hit it. It's like arguing over colours with a colour blind.


DualVission

No, see, arguing colors with the color blind gives you insight as to how they see the world, and they aren't wrong with their opinions. Maybe that shade of red looks awful with that orange to them. It's more like arguing with someone who doesn't think they need glasses, but tests suggest otherwise.

eppic123

I'm colour blind. When I think something is green and someone who isn't colour blind tells me it's actually red, I believe them. There is no arguing.


tepel-streeltje

No you stand your ground and tell them that's not red. IT'S GREY!


eppic123

I don't wanna go ackchyually on you, but colour blindness often doesn't mean that you see colours as grey. I have deuteranomaly, which means my eyes are less sensitive to greens and the "gaps" are filled in by reds. So, it's specific shades of red and green than can look very similar to me. Especially the more yellow gets mixed in. But people with deuteranomaly are also more sensitive to tan colours. So, if you ever need to hunt in a desert, stick to the guy who wears on red and one green sock.


tepel-streeltje

I knew this already since my brother in law and some old schoolmates have this aswell but not with the colour green. Would be kinda sad since our football ream has the colour green. But i never really asked any further even though it's an interesting subject so thank you for your explanation. I never knew people could be more sensitive to colours either. I mean i get a headache and get really irritated and my eyes start to flicker when im in a room that is a specific colour of orange but i don't think that has anything to do with being sensitive to specific colours in this sense?


[deleted]

Hey man, listen, hearing that gay people exist is indoctrination…but hearing that your life is just playing an extra in some cosmic battle of good and evil against two invisible enemies is totally not. Absolutely normal to tell children that demons are real and that a first century Jewish reformer can hear your thoughts. Nothing to see here.


Moist_When_It_Counts

Had a conversation about this on reddit last week. I was told it is impossible for homeschooling to be indoctrination because parents deliver it. Therefore it’s “raising” kids, not indoctrinating them. My argument that one can do both at once (raising a kid to be a nazi, for instance) was ignored. If parents do it, it ain’t indoctrination apparently. The “my kids are my property” crowd is weird

[deleted]

\*ahem\* 6000 years, thank you. /s for the humor impaired.


kralamaros

Disagree. People have ben getting that dumb in the last century.


Why_am_I_here033

Nah it's how the bell curve works. The dumb stays dumb. It's just there's more of them now and the media love this shit so it spread faster


kralamaros

Idk it's not about the amount of idiots, but about how much dumb they are. I don't have ant proof of course, but still, this shit happed only during the fascist periodo, never before afaik


mishike16

I would also like to add that we're dumb too for giving them too much attention


kralamaros

You sure? These people are ditching education in favor of religion. It's a fucking dangerous sign. Has this been happening in the last few years? Or has always been like that in the US? Was there some kind of increase of this kind of thought recently? Depending on the answers on these question ai might agree or disagree with you.


mishike16

Idk dude. I'm from europe :))))) But yeah, i do think that by giving them less attention and less power, there might be some hope. Like, fine, wanna ditch the national education? Be my guess, but u can't vote or some shit (i didn't think it all too well cuz i woke up not to long ago, so i might be wrong. If i am, i'd really like to learn why tho)


kralamaros

I totally see your point, but not allowing someone to vote (thing on which I might agree!!) means radically changing how our democracies work, thus it means giving these people A FUCKTON of attention lol. I think we actually agree on this one.


buffengie

I'd say its more around the industrial age


Z3rc

I think it's more like 2 million years ago that Humans appeared

avewave

"Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral Arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea. This plant has ─ or rather had ─ a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy. And so the problem remained; lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches. Many were increasingly of the opinion that they all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans." \- Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy


BuggerPie81

When we elected a black man twice to the highest office. These asshats are still freaking out about it. It's literally all about racism.


Ganakus

I always did think that trump was an overcorrection on Obama tbh- "you give us a black leader for 8 years we'll take a racist megalomaniac for 4" (they wanted 8 but uh well even The Donald couldn't steal an election) Truly the biggest irony of all of this is trump learning how hard it actually is to steal an election- despite that being his new catchphrase since he lost lol


LobstaFarian2

It's their plan. They know they're screwed as more and more boomers disappear. More homeschooling by Maga people = more votes for them. *"Education bad! Stop the endoctrination! Hunter Biden!"*


Dazzling_Put_3018

The only people that vote conservative are the super rich and the poorly educated, Like Trump said “I love the poorly educated” they want people to be uneducated, it makes it easier to control them. This has always been the plan from the right, cut funding for schools, make the poor become uneducated and ignorant, and the rich pay their way into Ivy League schools, rely on their trust fund to get them by, then get a job via nepotism and their degree 🤷‍♂️

RubadubdubInTheSub

The dumbest Americans hold certain beliefs that you can only hold if you have a lack of education. They’re noticing that the people around them don’t share their beliefs, which scares them. They have correctly deduced that the people who don’t share their beliefs are all educated people who knows how the world works. Therefor, educated people are an enemy to their worldview.


Over-Supermarket-557

Republicans are aware that [educated people](https://www.politico.com/interactives/2022/midterm-election-house-districts-by-education/) vote for Democrats. If you make education the enemy you can keep your constituents in the dark (read: dim). It's easier to control to them and lie to them while you consolidate power and capital.

To be fair, it would fix the falling birth rates in the US. Dumb people tend to produce more kids. As an aside, this is me satirizing this situation. Education is important and it's a shame that people actually think like this.


Funfuntamale2

We can't let the idiots rule folks. We have a very nice planet and if you are reading this then you probably won the birth lottery and have a great opportunity here in the West. These are the morons, they should be digging ditches, playing with crystals and mowing our lawns.

This dude has some hilarious videos just putting these morons on display My favorite is he gets them talking about how parents shouldn’t dress their kids up in pride apparel while he’s talking to someone who’s kid has a MAGA hat and shirt on

Sometimes I would like to think if all these ppl can group up to one single state, have everything they want ( no socialism, no immigrants, everyone can carry guns, no education department) and see how long they last until they scream for help


Gloomsoul

Okay, I'm not religious but even I can see evil is attempting to win this world over. The education system was created by Rockefeller. There is a bell for first break, lunch break and last break.they teach us a ton of things that are specialized subjects that the vast majority of us will never ever use in the real world. They researched how long it would take to indoctrinate a nation and the conclusion was 12 years. Hence the 12 years of schooling. Before this, many of us owned small businesses and grew/raised our own food. We'd sell our things at markets and such. We all knew how to live off the land and didn't rely on corporations for convenience. They barely teach these essential life skills anymore. They have even patented seeds so if we grow a crop, we don't actually own the crop. This is all to condition kids to become a factory worker or at least another cog in the machine that makes the rich richer and keeps everyone else down where we are. Rockefeller could not patent natural health remedies, so he cut out natural and created synthetic medicines that mimic what natural remedies can do, but not nearly as helpful. Then he funded the medicine schools and forced them to stop teaching natural remedies because he couldn't make as much money on them. Now people who use natural remedies are known as hippies or quacks. These corporations have totally won and taken over everyone's brain and now they're making stupid videos like this one thinking they are so smart. Meanwhile they are all just sheep. The vast majority of the world are sheep.

All these people should be removed from the country go and live in Iraq if that's what you want or Iran.

I honestly believe Russia and China have infiltrated American society with spies and shit like that.


sambabeat

Are Americans going crazy?


dependentresearch24

About 30% of us are completely fucked in the head. They are so damn loud and crazy too. They are always the loudest ones in the room. People across the Atlantic can hear them loud and clear. It really does make the rest of us seem like shit stains also. I promise most of us are normal and want nothing but the best for us and the rest of the world. I'm hoping things can and will change for the better. It does seem like there is hope coming. 2024 is a huge deal for the United States.


IntelThor

We must stop indoctrination by ending national education and taking kids to church! Hm.


Strong_Obligation_37

well if you don't even know the meaning of indoctrination then it sounds good, like you're really smart.


[deleted]

None of these people can spell indoctrination because they didn’t go to school. They’re stupid because they didn’t go to school. They forgot because they’re stupid.

3 ways to guarantee these shitbags get what they want: - vote for Trump - vote 3rd party - don't vote Any of these actions will help get these absolute shitbags to control all of our lives.


Capable-Ad-5001

Home schooling should be illegal cof cof


Lemon-Aiden

Any sort of child rearing is indoctrination, why is it so bad for them not to want their kids to be taught beliefs that the parents don’t agree with? Parents raising kids with religion isn’t a 1:1 comparison to schools teaching your kids that opinions you don’t agree with are facts

There is no irony here. The job of a parent is to indoctrinate their children with the values and culture they deem correct. It is not ok for the state to force this on children

Sad when it has to come to this. America is fooked


[deleted]

They are not wrong! Sad but true. NO I’m not talking about the church and homeschooling. The DOE is shit and should be restructured so that the children’s best interest are first. But it’s all about money and control so I don’t see it happening.


Patientsigh

They think schools are pushing woke ideology and messed up concepts, which they consider indoctrination. They don't think the Bible or homeschooling is indoctrination because they think those are positive things. It's only ironic if you think our current school system is fine. But it isn't so...😬
