I volunteer in the community and strike up the political conversations there. Most people prefer to believe a pretty lie over the truth. At least the 60+ folks I get in touch with.
My voice is there, but I am competing against most news outlets and centrist/right politicians spinning their anti-immigrant and pro-war rhetoric. If headlines are put in print, people believe them.
I’m not able to teach people to critically think or question the truth and intent of what the political majority tells them. Sadly, I’ve tried and am at a loss and tired. If you have ideas how to do this, please share.
No. It’s the duty of the government to provide education. This can’t be off-loaded to the populace. We have to organize mass protests and eliminate the means for propaganda, starting with the shit tech bros come up with.
Anyone who wants (and can) provide additional education is always welcome and highly encouraged of course.
Education is an essential part of controlling the government. If it is organised by the government the population could as well let the government control itself or let it select its successor.
Problem here is also capitalism.
If those who have capital/own and make their money through owning have all the time free and still make more money. -> more money -> can pay more to others to do what they want. -> those with more can do and organize more of “their” education -> democracy still fucked by capitalism or not, depending on who has the capital and what those want -> not democratic (, as only some are deciding what is done and those are not even the one who know stuff).
Democracy doesn’t work without education, I’m sick and tired of these idiots voting for their own, and my, executioners
Do or organise the education.
