Unacademy Teacher Fired for telling students to 'Vote for Educated Leaders' Remark during lecture. - Lemmy.world

It’s so incredibly sad how adults need to be reminded and told to vote for people that have a background with real education. I can’t believe people don’t care about education when it comes to voting for someone to be put in your government. I feel sorry for those people who don’t. You know it’s the people who don’t that have lives that revolve around politics and consume it everyday

Define real education. Does that mean education attained at some overpriced, heavily left-leaning university with a degree in some social field? Can that mean someone that’s educated in say a trade or other type of job skill? What about a successful business owner? Maybe they’d make a good leader, right?

The problem with this guys comments is that we know what he really means: “Educated” as in someone that went to specific colleges and has fallen for the progressive sales pitch. You know and I know that’s exactly what he means.

It turns out that the more you know about the world, the more you tend to lean left. No wonder the right wants to keep people as ignorant as possible.
Identifying left and right is also ignorant. There is no balance to the thought process.
Can you read that out loud to me please?
I’m a centrist, I think about both decisions and the nuance involved without using identity politics to form my decision.
Most people are centerists. My thesis is Poli-Sci was centered around the two party system being a downfall for democracy. However saying it’s ignorant to identify is not going to help the situation. At least for now where at least 40 percent give or take are on one end of the extremes.
How does pointing out cult like behavior not help?
Insulting people hardly ever inspires change
I’m open to rebuttable of why choosing a side of predisposed conclusions is not ignorant.
I’m open to carrying a conversation that has freedom rather than backing someone into a corner in what you believe you said. What you said was that calling out the current state of politics as ignorant. I think it’s equally as ignorant to just put blinders on and say it’s a bad idea. I give you the premise that it is in fact a bad idea, but denying it just leads to more problems.
Leaning anyway is already an admittance that one must behave a certain way to be considered as apart of, creating a precedence of behavior they feel socially obliged to in a very simplistic give and keep format. Current state politics is ignorant and what makes me form these conclusions and compare them to cults.
