I was thankful enough to have a tandem 7th-8th grade combo of English and History teachers who taught us the value of cognitive awareness. Followed by a high school math teacher that introduced me to "A True History of the United States" because they actually gave a damn. It's far too easy to see that we are the new Roman Empire, but on a speed run.

“I pledge allegiance,to the flag, …”

I grew up accepting the propaganda wholesale, then at some point when I was around 16, my critical thinking skills suddenly switched on all at once and I was like “Wait a second, this is all some bullshit!” This didn’t seem to be due to any external influence, I think my brain just rebooted.

What kind of propaganda are you guys getting? In my 9th grade American history class they didn't shy away from Native American genocide, police brutality (starting with the whiskey rebellion), and the civil war being about slavery. But that wasnt at a normal school.

🤣

I've got a personal theory on this. ADHD and autism don't break the brain, but they do significantly change how it processes information. This, in turn, gives us a significant resistance to broad spectrum propaganda, via incompatibility. It's akin to a windows virus not working on Linux.

It's worth noting that it's not a resistance to propaganda in general, just the type intended for "normal" people. We can still be caught out by targeted efforts. Normally, we aren't worth that effort, but AI and its related work will likely change that.

Basically, we have awesome natural defenses, but don't just rely on them, since they can be bypassed.

Public schools are indoctrination machines - Period. Narrative would you feel comfortable with them teaching? Because I guarantee a problem will be found with it.
