MODERATORS
It's amazing how dumb this entire situation is. To my knowledge she hasn't even publicly endorsed a candidate or political party, right? Just suggested her fans register to vote?
Republicans understand that demographics are against them, and their only chance is to whip their base into a froth while simultaneously making it harder for Others to vote.
Ding ding ding
Just like it is every election season. Republicans rely on the electoral vote, propaganda, and systematic diseducation (idk if that’s even a word, case in point?) to ensure victories over the populace
"Education" is from Latin "educ" which means "lead out". The reverse would be to lead in, which is "ducere in". So if you want to make a new but old-fashioned word, I suggest "ducereination" or because the "e-i"" syllables are uncomfortable to say and would have likely been dropped over time, "ducerination". The "c" might be pronounced as an "s" or as a "k" depending on how the word would have evolved since ancient times, but I prefer a "k" sound (which I think is the wrong one according to Google) so it sounds like the "c" in "education".
Note that I don't know Latin.
I don't know a goddamn thing about Latin grammar, but it looks like you could follow the etymology of "education" more closely. The "educ" part is itself derived from "ex ducere", so we could probably have "inducation"
Y'all. Did you have your coffees this morning?
There's already an organically evolved etymologically rich word for the "passing of closed thinking", that harkens back to "leading in" or Inducing...
Indoctrination.
lol, great point
Yeah, but the right only agree that indoctrination exists when it's colleges indoctrinating people into free-thought which they call being woke. Say that word to them and they'll be like "rubber, glue, you" because that's about as many syllables as the average right-winger can muster, and about as intelligent a complete thought as I expect from them as well.
I guarantee you they’ll feel the same way if you say ducerination or inducation. Words they don’t understand are inherently an attack, just like woke, which originally meant someone or something that was championing the rights of people in modern times
Probably because so many people make fun of their education system
Why be angry with the root cause of your problem when you have so many branches that look close enough to a root
Which is the goal. Defund public education. Fund private education. Both for profit but also to ensure that only the wealthy can actually pay for a “good” education and keep up the class divide
It is a word now
Disinformation is the word
