Let me get this out of the way. We are 100% in agreement or at least 99%. But I don't think you understand, a large portion of these people ARE the problem. These people couldn't give a flying fuck about education, that's why they voted for people to dismantle the education system.

Look, if there still isn't something you're getting, it's probably because you don't have the bigger picture. The very same "innocent people" you talk about are cheering this on in the US. Don't assume people's intentions based on your own.

You're not talking to an extremist, but someone who has tried to love and educate these people for years. It's just not working because they already know what they stand for.

Then how do you deal with it without becoming a problem yourself?

The people who don't care about education are still people and deserve all the same rights we have. You can't just send them away.

They will send you away, and then there's nobody else to stop them.

So what goal do you want to achieve?

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out– Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out– Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out– Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me–and there was no one left to speak for me.

I saw a protest sign recently that said "First they came for the Socialists, and that's why I'm out here in the street because I know the rest of the poem"
