I had a conversation earlier today with a woman from Melbourne, Australia who lamented that her country recently ceased providing free education to all her country’s citizens.
“It’s a shame,” she said, “that we couldn’t have followed the developed counties around the world that make that investment. Most folks don’t want to live around ignorant people. Also, an educated population does better in the workplace, and that lifts their nation’s place in the global competitive market.”
All of this absolutely true. So why is the United Stated systematically destroying its public education system, while it remains a million miles away from offering its citizens free college? Well, there are problems that educated people pose to the billionaire class, one of which is that they are capable of critical thinking, which means they can see how thoroughly they are screwed by unbridled capitalism. Another is that they are unwilling to elect sociopathic criminals to lead them.
Obviously, what MTG says here is good news, but really? Is she sincere, or did she realize that it was to her political advantage?
I’m highly suspicious. Until this reversal, she was known for her positions as a white supremacist, antisemite, QAnon conspiracy theorist (including Pizzagate), anti-vaxxer, and Putin supporter, and for aiding and supporting attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Now, out of nowhere, she’s a sane individual?
The lifecycle of someone like Tucker Carlson and the others mentioned at left:
a) They’re on Fox News or maybe they have their own podcast, spouting pro-Trump crap.
b) They see what they should have seen from the start, i.e., that Trump is criminally insane, and the say so publicly.
c) Trump calls them “low IQ.”
Doesn’t this garbage have a limited shelf-life? Are voters going to buy this indefinitely?
At left see we what it’s like when a formerly great country is being led be a moron.
Will “they better stop now!” lay this issue, the precursor to World War III, to rest?
