it'd be unwise to take them as seriously as others, is all I'll say on that

Idk maybe. I wouldn't join a Brony militia

ok but that is something totaly diffrent form where you started.

(also it would be "Brony", I wasn't sure what you were saying at first Wizard)

Gay spellcheck

I mean, for all i know you could have been talking about a totaly diffrent fatcion that i had never heard of before.

I figured it out, and figured i would let you know.

Anyone hear the argument "the electoral college hurts smaller states" before?

Probably

Though if I remember it's made for the less dense states to have an actual voice

I have heard everything bad about the electoral college

All I say is, how is it different than the house? Big states have more votes than smaller states.

No matter what realm of discontent you hail from your vote is not 1:1

yeah this argument comes from people who hate rural populations and want "one person, one vote"

and i know the former sounds like an ad hom but no, the people that *I've* heard say that literally openly despise rural folk <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

and of course "one person, one vote" just means direct democracy, also known as "tyranny of the masses"/mob rule

@Cobra Commander I was told this in elementary, middle and high school. I didn't ever believe it but they're are spouting it in schools

I don't think I was ever taught that actually

then again I did grow up in an air force base for a chunk of my childhood, so that may have been a factor.

*I did hear this in high school though

All public schools here, in a blue state. Our education system needs to burn

We can sort it out later from the ashes

History classes in particular are doing students a great disservice by just

twisting history and terminology

Colleges have this problem in fucking spades

And my next semester will have a sociology class, so I'll probably be facing the full brunt of it

Nah, it's disservice is in them not teaching any history anymore, misinformation is one thing, at least the critically thinking will hear about it and double check. But these days they just ignore things and don't even mention them.

my senior year world history textbook had 4 pages on Incan gender roles.

that is not an exaggeration.

Went through all of 3-12 grade without hearing about things like the bay of pigs, most of WW2 and all of WW1 except for some comments on "how it started" aka some guy in Germany was evil, and fsr everyone liked them

Guess how many were on WWII and the Space Race.

Maybe one class

one if that

no i mean pages in a textbook

Oh, maybe a blurb

oh gotcha

1 paragraph on WWII

Shameful

and one fucking *sentence* on the goddamn Space Race

Sounds like the state you were in was infected with leftist

If it wasn't "we won" I'll be even more disappointed than I already am
