Dumb and in the Dark
Remember a recent post titled "Creating Lasting Change"? Well, let's extend that out a bit, because that's exactly what Trump is doing now. First you change the way people view and consume news, promoting flexibly factual networks above all others. Then you continue the decades-long project to decimate the education system and make sure we only churn out superstitious, gullible citizens susceptible to manipulation and misinformation. At the time I wrote that previous post I didn't forget, but I also didn't address, the need to remove the remaining valid and valuable sources of truth as part of the equation. Because a healthy authoritarian government can't leave intact any reliable sources that might report or record its wrongdoings. Never fear, because the illegal oligarchy that's taken over this country didn't need any reminders and have now set their sights on destroying the vestiges of trustworthy media.
In more hopeful news, some of our important educational institutions are fighting back.
