Last year, a chapter leader quoted Hitler in a newsletter to members and the group has appeared at events with the Proud Boys.

    schools started becoming factories for little activist social justice warriors.

    Why does education turn people progressive?

              Yeah but it’s like, the one you want. It’s like having a bias towards Justice or fairness. Having no bias even towards reality is like spinning a roulette wheel to find your opinion

              I suppose you think you are making some kind of cogent point here.

      Because conservatism as an ideology involves doing nothing and assuming you will remain the best.

      Incremental improvement is literally the entire basis of education, that’s how you learn. Once you get into that cycle, it’s just fuckin’ obvious.

        That’s a very optimistic view of conservatism. They don’t want to stay the same, they want to go back in time.

          Generally, the conservatives trying to “go back in time” are just returning to what they know. Either they lived in a time like that (because so many politicians these days are fucking geriatric), or the household they grew up in was structured that way.

          Yes, there are a decent number of malicious fucks and grifters, too, but I like to give groups the benefit of the doubt. They’re too lead-poisoned to know any better.

          Oh but I am.

          Conservatives try to limit what can be taught and the amount of education because their beliefs don’t hold up well to well educated critical thinking individuals.

      I’d argue that it takes more education to support and participate in leveraging a system through systemic oppression and exploitation of those fiscally beneath you. It takes immersive learning to override natural empathy for our fellow humans. It’s just not the type of education that’s provided in school.

          That’s true, but that only accounts for ~10% of the US. The rest must be indoctrinated.

    “Moms” for liberty was founded in part by a dude in New Jersey that was up on charges for sexual assault, and another founder in Florida, a couple, the husband of which was credibly charged (and I believe pled out) to criminal sexual conduct…

    That organization? The same one that the Southern Poverty Law Center has designated as a hate group? Let me see how many fucks I can find to give about what they have to say…

      Yeah, but the right (along with bothsiderist helpers all along the spectrum) has been demonizing SPLC as being invalid, corrupt, biases, etc…for a very long time now, so a lot of people now respond to any mention of SPLC with more or less: “Oh yeah? Well, SPLC are the real racists!”
