Americans are relentlessly propagandized about how great we have it, and I guess our best option is to believe it, because the alternative is to cry over just how deeply shitty so much of the country actually is.

    It truly helps the rich when the average adult reading level hovers around 5th grade and we'll over 60% of Americans have never had to learn about logic, ethics, critical thinking, or how rights are earned by a strong citizenship.

    When the public is just ignorant of how to do basic thinking, what the history of liberty is, or how rights are earned & kept by the People by taking collective action against the rich you get a crumbling society sliding back into serfdom.
