The USA are the anti-intellectualism gift that never stops giving. Earth is flat, global warming is fake, vaccination is bad, evolution is fake and unironically using the imperial system.
Wherever you live has people that believe every one of those things and more, with the possible exception of imperial measurements. The idiots in America just seem better at getting other people to listen to them.
A friend from michoacan who I visited a decade ago doesn’t believe that we went to the moon or that we can. Wrong on both counts. However he think we will figure it out. But I think he says that just in case we do so he can comeback with he knew it all along.
I’ve tried kind of a slippery slope argument with them, to see where exactly the fakeness begins. Like do they believe in satellites? How do they think gps works? Do they think the ISS is fake? You can see it! Do they think the rovers went to the moon? Or was that fake too?
lol I’m guessing it autocorrected fakeness. Did the exact same thing for me.
For this particular person, I’m guessing she had read this somewhere online as I know she is not clever enough to have come up with this herself. I think she believed in the ISS, but that’s because it was within the earths magnetic field. So I guess the argument had something to do with humans surviving certain types of solar radiation.
I guess this would also mean we could not orbit the moon. But I wasn’t willing to go further down that slope.
Americans are like children from parents that only do positive education. “You are awesome baby” “you are the best most beautiful boy in the world” “All your ideas are amazing share with the world” “oh baby you were not wrong they just don’t understand you” lol
As someone who did not have that experience with their parents…
It was still exactly how public school treated the US itself. Even when it was on topics like shoving native americans off into tiny reservations, it was all, “yeah that was bad, but the US is great!” and similar non sequiturs.

But I don’t know why I waste my time :(
So where did the fairness start for them?

Absolute trash brainwashing shithole country…
Americans are all Jeff Wingers and need to grow up. At least Republicans. Highschool is only meant to last a few years guys.
