Meanwhile the geriatric class is being taught the same lessons through Fox News and their ilk. My mother loves to spout the praises of the latest exploits of Elon Musk every time I talk to her and I’m just like “mom, Elon Musk is a billionaire, which automatically means he a piece of shit.”

Are we, the in-betweens - going to be the only ones who remember now that they’ve co-opted all channels of “information” - for young and old alike?

Holy shit.

I think it’s actually a positive sign. Liberalism has always been very good at keeping the masses passive with “toys”. Previously, this would have been some story about a kids toy or going to Disney world. But they’ve shifted to this and I think it’s a sign.

For the last 40-50 years the US has had enough power and control over their population that they could afford not to be so blunt in their propaganda. They had the luxury of allowing this illusion of freedom and free thought.

I think the increase in this type of thing is just a sign that the means of controlling the population are failing. Or at least that the capitalist class is worried it is. They are having to resort to more direct methods of indoctrination and on a greater scale.

The problem is, it’s transparent, at least to adults. You can’t brain wash a kid into believing a religion when their parents do not. It’s extremely difficult. This is very much the same dogmatic education as religion might teach.

This will backfire and have the opposite effect. This isn’t the 1900s. Kids won’t only be exposed to information they learn in school. And kids are ALWAYS looking for a way to defy authority.

The fifth grader will definitely fall for this. But their education will not end there. If you do this in high school a lot of kids are gonna catch onto this dogma the harder it is pushed onto them.
