It is really sad how many people would trust teachers in a classroom with guns but not books.
Not people generally.
Conservatives, specifically.
Frankly, I’m at the point where I’m starting to question if even that part:whole relationship is really applicable.
Don’t get me wrong: I understand why it’s a really bad thing to start dehumanizing your enemy, but WTF are you supposed to do when they jettison everything but venal hatred and sociopathy and thus dehumanize themselves?
You’re supposed to understand that the vast majority of society are shallow idiots that’ve been misled by immersion in state-sponsored propaganda.
Then, engage the socialists and communists. They know what to do, why, and how. The last time we had the numbers for meaningful change was the late 1940s: Veterans of WW1 became armed socialists and communists which resulted in The New Deal.
Corporate personhood is what’s made much of this incarnation possible. If you want to dehumanize something then focus on the root cause.
I wonder how many students changed their minds about becoming teachers because of what’s been going on over the last few years.

Gutting education is part of the plan for any authoritarian takeover. Knowledge is power. Why give the people the power? How very unauthoritarian.
I mean - I know I decided against pursuing it many decades ago because it was the same then.
We’re basically living in a poorer, angrier Reagan era.
Republicans don’t want freedom, they want to be feared. Because fear is respect to them. And the imbued threat by carrying a gun and the false demand of respect it projects is useless. At no point in human history, regardless of the punishment, has crime of any sort not existed. Carting around guns on every hip won’t change that at all.
This is a really good point, but I feel like an English teacher would have written “whom I married.”
Knee-jerk ignorant republican impulse after knee-jerk ignorant republican impulse, enabled and lubricated by the gullible and lazy non-voting bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL idiots, you end up in a completely preventable hellhole.
Calling them knee jerk ignorant impulses under minds the fact that is a plan they have been working on for 60 years and they are almost successful
gullible and lazy non-voting bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL idiots,
They aren’t gullible and lazy. Neither Democrats nor Republicans are campaigning for their issues.
One good example is Medicare for All, which is supported by a majority of voters, but not supported by Harris and Trump.
