Students learning about the Trump era gonna think we dumb as fuck
Know we are dumb as fuck, you mean
We are dumb as fuck
This helped me understand the lead up to WWII so much better.
Was it really necessary to do a practical example?
it can be summarised easily as you can see it today as well...
wealthy individuals with businesses, were afraid of socialism of any kind and backed fascism, even though in the long term it would result in a loss of money as less people to sell products to or need them. as they intend to get as rich as possible, then leave the industry like real life is a game.
if you can't see the problem of dissociation at the wealthiest, which has been visible evident since the 2000s starting in the mid 1970s with the first of the post-ww2 generation taking power... it's easy to lose track of human connection, when you are surrounded by people that only see the vast majority of people as annoying, needy cattle.
Yeah, that's exactly it. Economies emerged to serve the populace, not the other way around. It's not the first time in history this kind of inversion has happened, but the systems that engage in it don't last long.
About 1/3 of us are dumb as fuck
⅔ of us are dumber as fuck
It's going to be Germany 1933-1945 all over again, except the leader is considered even more of a clown than the first time.
Yeah, the way the history books painted Hitler was like he was a supervillain with the power of convincing people to do what he wants against their will. Now I know that's probably not true and that the Germans were probably just dumb as fuck pieces of shit that would've hammered their own faces if they were told to.
There were already plenty of examples to show that making people viscerally hate an arbitrary group of people is incredibly easy. The Stanford prison experiment is so well-known because it perfectly outlines our own innate desire to fit in, even when it means becoming evil, despite how much we want to convince ourselves that we're above it.
worse, with modern regulation evidence is erased as it's created... so much survived WW2 as record keeping was easy to smuggle out and was leaked via word of mouth...
England nearly gave in to Germany long before the bombs hit english soil, when they were invading France... we can see parallels to that now and our leaders are in lockstep as unlike Germany who's economic power was in the toilet before the war, the countries in question now based the world's systems of trade and economy off of them to ensure it would destabilize everyone if something happened...
Bold of you to assume students will learn about this in the future
Unless the republicans are able to control all the books and curriculum in schools
Depends on who writes the history books
If history is taught correctly, they will know that Americans of today are propagandized to hell by the capitalist oligarchs who are fighting tooth and nail to maintain the hierarchy. That the coercive structure of the capitalist system left people alienated and disenfranchised and largely unable to overcome the sea of misinformation designed to isolate and divide communities.
