Yesterday's match had two hydration breaks and Dutch public network took the opportunity to introduce ads during those breaks and I genuinely cannot comprehend how USonians accept this. I was ready to throw my couch through the tv in pure rage.
Americans typically work between two to four jobs, an American's brain is turned off by the time they can lay their body back. Plus the hyper individualism contributes to an inability to imagine a scenario where things change w collective action as everyone is tunnel-visioned on their own precarious situation. Those who resist are thrown into the prison system which disenfranchises them for life.
And if you combine all that with the literacy rates, the scale of alienation, the quality of our education, and propaganda that instills a fantastically-undeserved arrogance into every citizen then you got the perfect cocktail of a self-absorbed narcissistic population with no time or desire to form a coherent worldview.
I genuinely cannot overstate how poor the education system is. There is no attempt at forming critical thinking skills, if you look at federal and state guidelines theyre primarily testing memory and an absurdly oversimplified cause and effect understanding of history and in literature. We have repeatedly failed every generation with the education we provide, and with the material conditions getting worse we are only seeing worse teaching practices as the resources and training are inadequate.
