I actually wanted to post this to clarify how points about it ought to be made, it’s pretty old and people know about it. Education resources in the USA are really unfairly distributed. It’s not that Americans are so evil because they’re stupid, it’s part of their de facto apartheid state’s continuation. Americans support bloodthirsty imperialism in order to hoard the education funding via property taxes in little enclaves. You’re not going to educate them out of killing you. They don’t care if you watch One Piece, and many don’t recognize this deal won’t be doled out to new generations on the same level, and will always get worse.
Of course, the educated and wealthy Americans are unusually stupid, globally, but I don’t think anyone is doubting that right now.
The fight for real education remains a workers’ rights issue. There’s a reason anarchists in spain used to offer it to workers.
One of the most insidious forms of disinformation in America right now is the anti education push. Many workers aren’t mad that they didn’t get enough out of their education, they’re mad they had to spend so much time and energy being taught things they don’t use for a living
