I no longer live in the U.S., having fled with my family for our safety, but my field is learning experience design and I've been trying to think of how I can pivot to put those skills into something more beneficial to humanity, like radical un/learning, instead of using them to further the goals and spread the propaganda that only benefits those at the top of the socioeconomic hierarchy. If there are any projects that could use help from someone like me, I'd love to get involved remotely from Portugal.
This is a great post. So true about the Prussian education model being a means for propagandizing and for making useful slaves. We should all get to enjoy our learn drives througout our lives.
The incorrect thing I found was "racial capitalism". This isn't really a meaningful phrase with the "racial" on it because capital just means personal wealth (so, opposite of wealth govt steals). That's why capitalism isn't the bad thing we've been taught in.. well, schools. Schools as we know them get big funding from govt and so their employees and constituents are all to happy to support socialism.
It's true that white supremacy still has a hold on much of the world, but the thing that makes it *institutionalized* is govt goon-ing such as that done by cops. Remove all govt and just see how far anti-[race] descrimination can really get without all their producer-funded tools to screw over groups defined by whatever they were born as.
Love this (as I do all of your writing). Curious how one goes about finding a likeminded community to learn about the topics like the ones you discuss together? I’ve been craving it but struggling to find a way to go about this - especially moving to a new area. Any insights appreciated!
Today is the 51st anniversary of the Watergate break-in; what have we learned individually, as a society, from that kind of thuggery? There's an open topic for discussion on many levels.
