but things are a bit different now than they were 3 years ago

_glances askance at the Covington Maga Hat debacle_

cracks in the dnc are wider, perhaps not wide enough but they are there

yeah they are.

trumps election is probably the most important event in western world history in the last 30 years

i think its even more important than 9/11

just because it spearheaded the shattering of the political aristocracy

specificly because 9/11 didint change anything, it simply put more power into the direction it was already going

yep, it was a boot down the slippery slope, not a shove in the other direction

feels more like a pendulum these days

were in a pendulum swing now but theres no telling how long it will last, it could be a change that impacts the world for 50 even 100 years, or it could only last as long as trumps presidency

indeed

i think the most important thing to happen before this was probably jfk's assassination

the biggest issue IMO is that our educational system is dominated by leftist hypnotists

indoctrination for everyone

but at the same time, the colleges are... SORTA starting to decline?

IDK, maybe I'm overreading

lot of people would say that the fall of soviat russia was super important but honestly we still treat russia as if it was still soviet russia, so it didint actually change anything, jfk being assassinated marked the last resistance in what the political paradim change would take shape as

yeah I don't get that.

Korea and China seem like bigger concerns ATM

i think the biggest problem with our education system isint what it teaches, but how it shapes preadult sociaty and what ramifications that has on children entering sociaty after highschool graducation

one is a nuclear power, the other is trying to be, China is also expanding it's corporations into africa for resources and has a social credit system practically lifted from the pages of 1984

schools are unnatural, but you can still take an unnatural system and make it work with our natural instincts, schools dont do that very well though, they create a society of children with very few adult figures who are specificly prohibited from involving themselves in the social political structures that children form when they are alone unless it gets to a certain degree of negativity that media will critisize, physical violence for a long time but recently increasing to "harrassment"

they also killed recess, so they're locking energetic boys up with no way to spend that energy and then punishing them for acting out

maybe a more extensive PE?

humans evolved so that our children are ment to be introduced to social envirnments with the pretexts and directions of their parents, this would lead to parental friends having their own children become friends with eachother simply due to that being the majority of contact between them, this did statify friendship along economic lines but that still happens to some extent within the school system but its done through the direction and perspective of children

this child sociaty that exists virtually untouched by adults outside of media representations of how this sociaty should act (yes television teaches children how to be social more than parents now) becomes the society as that generation matures to adulthood

i think that genz may be the only generation where the school system has a competitor for teaching children social skills, the internet

I wouldn't mind the privatization of schools, or more homeschooling. I was lucky enough to be homeschooled, though It didn't help the social aspect. I was never a socialite.

unfortunately private schools are expensive and homeschooling doesent work within the modern capitalist society where not even a 2 income household is enough to support majority of familys

the only real solution is change society or have schools that actually guide children into forming social groups and have as much focus on that as they do education, which means puting a shit ton of responcibility and trust onto the education system, even a private one

yeah, that probably won't end well

the question is how long until the civil war?

if things keep going trump, until the oil wars, if things dont go trump, earlier

@Miss Direction oof they just really want to push AIDS on everyone, don't they?

yep

because the drug and medical companies make big money on treating that stuff

Everyone has AIDS! AIDSAIDSAIDS AIDS!

tim's been on too many red pills recently

is it moment where he breaks towards the right ? ;D

no wait... it's precisely moment where we need government control so maybe not..
