It is a weird time, I think. The culture that built this country is gone. Even if things don’t collapse into a mad max sort of thing, the reality is that there is an individual apocalypse happening. Imagine being sold on the American Dream, working hard, and then seeing it all go away once you lose your job and cannot find another one. That is as devastating as being a refugee.
With education, I know a few teachers. They try hard to provide kids with education, but too many parents make up excuses for their kids behavior or just plain don’t care about their kids. Half the time they are babysitters trying to deal with discipline problems. Some teachers are work idiots, but many do the best they can with what they have. Our society doesn’t value education and fools everyone to think that they can become a movie star, athlete, influencer or any other career with a 10 million to 1 shot of making it.
People have to be willing to educate themselves. Books are cheap or free and there’s a lot of good REAL content on the internet, once you filter out the porn and clickbait socials.
People also have to be willing to think for themselves and on their feet. We are being led by complete idiots who have no clue how to actually run anything. Everyone here should be praying that there actually is some sort of new world conspiracy, because it would mean at least someone is in charge somewhere. But the world has turned to evil and evil brings chaos and cruelty.
I’m increasingly convinced that the reason people hate Trump so much is that he is giving people a peek behind the curtain and show everyone at the end of the day that we don’t have real leaders, just clowns taking a paycheck and making stupid speeches.
I also attended public schools and university, but it was a different time. However it was still a time of emptiness and meaninglessness. I gave my heart to Jesus when I was 25. My first 30 years old of walking with Jesus were really rocky. The last 25 have been very good. But not without difficulty. But it's been worth the struggle.
I also attended public schools and university, but it was a different time. I hold a BA in Sociology from the University of California (1975). In 1981, (when I was 33), I was given a personal Revelation of the Deity of Jesus Christ as the Son of the Living God. I asked Jesus to be my Lord and Savior in the Spring of 1981. And now 44 years later in 2025, at 77 years old, I can joyfully declare that having Jesus in my life has made all the difference.
Without a doubt, there is plenty of blame to be spread. Much of the fault lies with the public school system. It was designed and functions extremely well as a propaganda machine. The brainwashing now starts pre-K and intensifies through college. The administrators and teachers keep their curriculums disguised and/or hidden. Yet, part of the educational blame falls on the parents, lacking time or interest in their children's education. Which brings us to home life. What home life? It is virtually non-existent. There is no family activity (including religious), no family gatherings, no family meals. Kids have been left to be influenced by tv, video games and the internet. Children no longer have any strong, moral/ethical influences.
Also, at fault are the counselors, sociologists, psych doctors. Children are no longer encouraged to work through problems or to think logically and critically. Instead they are put on various drugs, especially the "psych" drugs, which often cause anti-social and/or violent behavior. And, don't forget the widespread availability of illegal drugs to our youth.
This is all part of the plan by the ultra-liberal, Marxists/Communists to destroy the family, poison the children as part of the overall goal of destroying the country. We have lost at least 2 or 3 generations of the country's future leaders. The damage is irreversible. We can only hope that enough children have escaped who were educated at home or in private schools.
If there is any possibility of correcting this mess, it is dependent on sufficient people getting involved in pointing the kids (and young adults) in the right direction.
There is a movement to link the idea to reviving the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948, which originally regulated U.S. government information and propaganda programs abroad. The law was amended under Obama to allow domestic access to State Department media products, effectively permitting U.S. government propaganda to be published, circulated, and distributed within the country.
Renaming it the “Charlie Kirk Act” would go further by holding news outlets financially liable for propaganda, an idea that has already gained traction with a change.org petition gathering more than 17,000 signatures.
Originally, the Smith-Mundt Act authorized the State Department to run international information and cultural exchange initiatives but explicitly prohibited the domestic dissemination of materials produced for foreign audiences. This “statutory firewall” ensured that propaganda tools aimed at countering Soviet influence overseas could not be turned inward against American citizens.
When H G Well’s invisible man lost his visual body, he also lost his conscience. Cancel Culture antiSocial Media has made H G Wells a reality now. With digitalized invisible men and women.
I was listening to a fellow who went to Oxford college because American University is so lax. He said they didn't have classes. They had lectures, study, and tests. There was no babysitting. They treated the students like adults. I mean when even our supposed statesmen speak to adults as if they're children, we have fallen pretty far from any kind of healthy education. It's fully a reeducation camp and has been for a long time. So, sadly the fellow who went to Oxford said that now the school was doing the same dumb dumb down routine. They broke it so they could pretend to save us from this kindergarten chaos puppet show.
I disagree. American teachers are some of the lowest paid, least respected professionals. Looking at how their peers in other countries are revered, I think our society failed them. Reagan and the era of trickle down economics removed resources from the middle class to the rich. Children today look at celebrities to emulate. Don’t blame public education for the failures of capitalism.
Rubbish. The public school system is the tenth plank of Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto. The public school system, which includes the public school teachers and administrators, are specified in the tenth plank of the Communist Manifesto, which calls for "Free education for all children in public schools".
To blame late stage capitalism in the US, for the debacle that has taken place over the last two generations in the public schools, is incorrect. And if you want a president to blame, GWB and "leave no child behind" is worthy.
This entire parcel of excrement was a communist-organized long-term project to produce the very human wasteland we older "Muricans are shaking their heads at.
Many people feel the Bill Ayers/ Hussein Obama meetings when they were plotting obama's political future (and Bill was taking notes for the authoring of 'obama's' book) were also the venue for the planning for destruction of public screwls and their students.
Since many "Murican teachers are themselves functionally illiterate, it's hard to imagine how that may be a contributing factor here. Detroit teachers "boast" a 85% literacy rate.
Screwls were closed for two years not by public policy, but by teachers (mostly unionized teachers) who refused to enter the screwls for two years, and they were politicking for a third year when the union rep. retired.
These student victims can't reason their way through anything, any critical or creative thought abilities have been exorcised from their beings. BY COMMIE PUBLIC SCREWL TEACHERS!
It’s not only capitalism. The greed and corruption of this system has poisoned our planet, food and destroys our children with gun violence. Other countries have figured it out. Highly educated, socially responsible citizens who are not tied to consumerism. And let’s not forget about our failed healthcare system. But it’s the schools and teachers who brought us here.

Just a few thoughts.
And your thoughts are excellent. Thank you.

America has been declining for decades but the rot accelerated during the reign of Barack Obama.

You can thank the Democratic Party and CNN and MSNBC for much of this, along with Soros and the usual suspects.
