@economyvodka: Will do a second part talking about why Americans won’t do anything about the current administration but this quote I think explains the foundational reasoning. #usa🇺🇸 #politicstiktok #education #fyp #leftisttiktok
then they'll say "it's not that deep" or "it's just my opinion"

Mind you, New England was populated by people who *fled* the values of the Enlightenment era and Scientific Revolution occurring in Europe. They wanted the freedom to persecute and control. Their ideal “city on a hill” was a rigid Christian theocracy. Democracy was never the original vision for this country. This is important to remember.

Red states don’t fund education on purpose. They know if they do they won’t get to stay in power.

Doesn't this also have a lot to do with low quality education for teens and inaccessible ($$$) education for adults? Also, the US seemingly doesn't reward people for pursuing knowledge/education considering the crippling debt associated with itn

this is why American "Freedom of Speech" is a farce and the shift from treating "opinions as opinions" to "my opinion is equal to fact because I feel like it should" is dangerous.

we have this idea that we’ve suffered more than anybody ever (when it’s the exact OPPOSITE) and we’re the be all end all when it comes to these social constructs that are literally all made up and change across cultures so we don’t bother educating ourselves 😒😒😒😒 (and the “education” we are allowed here is absolutely worthless!!!)
