Dumbamania

The apex of human ignorance is US. Countries have a simple way of functioning, and every marketeer knows that. It's like in the Olympics. Ain't the top medal chart an almost exact copy of the top economies of the world? Why would that be? 99% of the results are based on how much the country actually invests on sports, of course. The same goes with everything, including education. Since the Cold War, the US has been developing this policis that "the more ignorant our people are, the easier to be controlled and subdued, no matter how many attrocities we make as a government, both at home and abroad". The results of this we are seing now, and are at their apex.

I talk to roughly a dozen different people from the USA each week, usually from the northeast and southwest coasts. Apart from their already notorious "map" ignorance, none of them has any idea of what the wars the USA undertake are about (but they think they do). None of them knows anything about any big news that happen in Europe, Asia, the rest of America, let alone Africa. None of them could even tell anything about the contemporary world if they were sent back into the past. None of them has learned anything about human History in school. "History Channel"? "Discovery Channel"? The few times I watched those, I almost had a heart-attack to see how things are shown so twisted and wrong... They are simplified in such a gruesome way, that it just becomes wrong, the "whys" and "hows" lost in this simplified "dumbification".

When I say none of them, I mean it: never in my life even one had an average elementary school knowledge of anything at all. And I don't blame them, had I been born in USA, and suffered such brain-washing and lack of studies since childhood, I would certainly not fair better, I guess very few special humans would. They get dumbed down in such a pre-human state, that when they are grown ups, they can't even use information when they have it. If they browse the internet, travel, talk to people abroad, they will naturally just repel any information they get, just like cavemen running away from a LED TV.. And they become even more aggressive and stubborn with their own "dumbed down" ideas, just like religious fanatics when confronted. Because they simply will not accept the fact that they were raised in a close medieval-like camp, where having a brain is forbidden (which became even such an issue, that specialists of all areas have to be "imported" from countries with real schools and real universities).


Do you believe that it has anything to do with their believe that they are doing the right thing, when they actually naively support a far-right regime of widespread genocide, and breaking and pissing on all international rules and agreements, as no nation ever did before in history of mankind? Or anything to do with all their hateful foreign politics of "creating enemies" where there is none, and launching political/military enterprises that end up screwing themselves even more than their alleged enemy (killing thousands in the process, of course), just to have "control of the world" just like a typical lame all-evil enemy in cartoons? Or with their young soldiers going to countries they have no idea where it is in the globe, and doing senseless murder as if it was a videogame, and people there were not really people (often screwing up and exploding themselves out of incompetence eventually)?

Do they even imagine that it is not a contemporary phenomena, but the result of decades of such ignorance? Do they know that the USA officially created, sponsored and supported the majority of far-right dictatorships in the modern world (and still does, like Mubarak), to defend it against "evil" communism and "evil" islamism? That those dictators they trained claimed a lot more lives than the Vietnam war? (And that the Vietnam war itself was launched with this same very purpose?)... I'll not even go for the World War II and their interest on it solely to bring the top figures of Nazi-German technology and science to USA to lead their military and space projects to rival the Soviets (and still losing the space race, and not even taking any significant part on the WWII itself). Anyway, the list is endless...




To care about the world beyond your country; to study History and Geography before making harsh stances; to read the news everywhere you can to learn the ongoing happenings around the globe and question them to their autenticity; to be suspicious of what people tell you; to see that anything that is against transparency can't be supported in any way and will never be right udner any perspective. This is the path for a cure. Not throwing all your hopes into a well dressed puppy created by political marketeers with false promises of change, of a "far right stalinist" country with a 1-party system that pretends to be 2, simply to fool it's easy to be fooled population.


And I do hope you find that cure before it's too late.
