As such blaming Amerikkkan fascist brainworms on “poor education” is really just apologia for Amerikkkan complicity in oppressive systems that benefit them.
It’s not lack of education, it’s an abundance of miseducation. The brain worms are planted in the USAmerican skull at a very young age and are fed their entire lives, by the time they reach adulthood they’re more worm than brain really.
That’s a stupid ass take. the capitalists states education systems sole goal is to produce ideologically aligned workers. Like sure, they can go to a lot of school, but you don’t become a communist by reading whatever the state wants you to read.
Uh, Europe is cringe but I swear when I look at bugerland media about education I’m really glad I was born here and not there.
However I totally agree with the second part of your statement. Even if Europeans are better educated we’re still full of fascist brainworms and deep rooted colonial ideology, so one can’t blame the lack of education for that.
Disagree, I don’t think any other “developed” country has a worse education system, and quite a few “developing / undeveloped” nations have better education outcomes
I literally spent two days learning about evolution during the entirety of high school and the teacher made hostile igmorant comments about it the whole time
And that was supposed to be a “well funded” white school
If I wasn’t consciously self-taught I literally wouldn’t know shit
My school had the physics teacher come in to teach evolution because all of the bio teachers were creationists
The US might have a good basic education as far as science goes for example (which is still way behind Europe and China I believe), but no amount of Physics or Maths will counteract the insane amount of propaganda on history, politics and ideology.
That’s why you literally have to rewire your brain if and when you realize that all you’ve been told from childhood to adulthood is lies.
Though the people arguing that the solution to world problems is just better education are completely lost in idealism, the capitalist class would never teach you the way you are being exploited, just like the kings would never tell you the real reason why you’re a serf and the slave owners would never tell you that you can rebel against them.

I have always been met with silence when I point this out to libs. Same with, why would a ruling class let the people they rule over vote on anything meaningful?
Libs have no answers for it.
I got bad news. From several people in my country that had a Master’s or other degrees in the US or Europe, the consensus is that western education is pretty fucking bad.
You get a better education here in the third world than in the imperial core. So no, I don’t think that is the case any more.
There might be exceptions for cutting-edge sectors, but in general, I disagree.
This smells a bit of chauvinism btw.
Hard agree.
US education is usually poorly funded and supplemented by local levies so that poor areas get worse resources and the teachers that can make poor pay work while rich areas have fancy schools and can hire anyone. The poor areas generally need more resources, not fewer, to reach parity, because there is more need for things like free food (US schools usually hold back food from poor kids), transportation, and after school programs.
On top of this, the US is socially bankrupt. Community is regularly disrupted and so even is the capitalist nuclear family. Kids are raised in abusive conditions and have high stress households with reactionary parents that often do not care for their kids when they step outsids their preferred views. Students are often tired, hungry, and stressed. So even when they have “access” and “opportunity” on paper, they can’t make use of it, logistically or emotionally. They’re told to have drive while also lacking the energy and support to make themselves a sandwich.
So most US citizens can’t read at a “high school level”.
This take
Libs’, “you have ‘’‘access’‘’ to healthcare” take
I need to know what percentage of kids in the US would say “shit’s borning; who cares” when shown a Bill Nye The Science Guy episode to have an educated opinion on this.

36% of humanity lives in India & China. Most humans actually in india. Followed by the usa with around 4%.
So yes, america is actually a very significant portion of the global population.
I definitely agree that Americans are complicit in their own fascism but that’s true whether or not they have access to education.
I think more importantly than that Americans have access to some of the best amenities in the world. You can go to the hospital. You or your kids can go to school. You can own a car. You can drive on half decent roads. You’ll probably work less than sixty hours a week. Sure Europe has all these things and better, and the situation in the US is worsening, but at the end of the day Americans can still go to the hospital and buy a Funko after and that means we’re in the top 50%. Most people think things are more or less fine because as long as you ignore the crumbling foundation things are fine
Idk, they were “teaching” our kids reading with 3 cueing for decades
Little of both, really. When you convince people that books are evil and gay and that community classes and efforts are communism, you can turn people off on the few opportunities for growth and improvement that do exist.
We don’t. Actual education is literally only reserved for society’s rich.
