Sounds like a stealth insult to bleached Wookies, somehow.

Por when you think about it for more than one second. You went to school. If it wasn't paid out of taxes it would have had (not a native English speaker, imnot sure if have had is right) to be paid LITERALLY out of your own pocket

the military industrial complex gobbling up a sizable chunk of your tax dollars:

~~wanted to~~

Did

Just wait til you hear about water! Everybody who drinks it? Dead. 100% mortality rate, no cure, and once you start, you're hooked!

That's the neat part. It's weaponized feigned incompetence.

After Noem got the definition of Habeus Corpus exactly wrong in a recent hearing, some Lemmings have suggested that the RNC stooges in power are all playing dumb. Now, I can't unsee it. It makes sense: play dirty because your aims are underhanded and illegal, and your opposition is both outraged and busy attacking the wrong thing. Every time we all get in a fit about how stupid this sounds, which takes up valuable space and time from doing anything useful.

Edit: it's like a misbehaving kid that knows if he keeps telling the right kind of lie he can get away with just about anything.

Edit2: In Greene's case, her "argument" is also signaling being a "useful idiot" to her base for getting the job done.

I mean they would probably be a lot cooler if they were on acid all the time.

Trump graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968 with a bachelor's degree in economics.

We're all going to run headlong into a very difficult inflection point in human development as a species very, very soon. Which is the looming divide between people who have no idea how their own minds work, and those who have even a shred of self-awareness.

And not a "facebook/twitter argument" type of self-awareness, but understanding that your intelligence and your understanding of things are entirely separate factors. We are species of cognitive dissonance. It's baked-in. Everyone, even YOU personally reading this, has some level of contradictory ideas or feelings that you can't pry apart without effort.

Some people think about how they think, and come to conclusion that they need to make effort to balance out their values and understanding of the world. Other people are going "brain go vroom" and conclude any idea they have, no matter how ridiculous, as long as it aligns with how they feel at that moment, MUST be true because they still think brains are fact-finding machines, not story-telling machines. This is why we have anti-vax doctors and climate-change-denying scientists (although rare) which is because they live in reaction and story-telling, not reason. If anything, education can make it much, much harder to break out of story-telling-reaction mode, because you think your own thoughts far less fallible.

So yeah, education is only part of the problem. We are going to have to figure out ways to teach people self-awareness, how to think about their own thoughts, or we're going to have billions of brains rotting in an AI/social-media/emotional-porn cesspit in the next decade and they vote and carry guns.

It's a word that has lost most of it's meaning like communism

We Americans also have enough.

Tbh it's the first time I see her name (iirc), and thanks to that everything, including the answer she received, was "amusing" to me.

She pretty much sounds like any of the current right-wing populists and anarchocapitalists. This is an american trend, sadly winning force everywhere.. This meme is fully on-topic across the western world :(

Solution: give the guns to kids and send them off to war.
