This is not just because of public education gutting. It’s a worldwide phenomenon, even in places with the highest ranked public schools on earth.

the simple truth is bombarding someone with a certain way of seeing the world makes them more likely to see the world that way. It’s propaganda, plain and simple.

Sad thing is it works on a lot of naive young people.

Therapy tried to make me learn to live with my oppression.

IMO that can be oppressive in of itself.

(Not all therapy is like this obviously but that was my experience).

Yes. That’s the easier solution.

The harder solution is maybe we shouldn’t have 9 people appointed by the most powerful person in the country for life have that much power. It’s not very democratic.

So what is it actually?

The worst part is this “tradition” came out of a medieval flex by aristocrats.

Look here, I have fertile soil I don’t grow anything on near my manor (aka lawn). That’s how well I’m doing. My peasents are only barely starving.
