Louie@rbreich There's a reason I've stayed off social media. All we see is how cruel the world has become. This is simply the truth! We live in a world where we are told that without an education, we can't make it anywhere. So why is it that the Department of Education is under attack by the "leader" of this country? It's sad and heartbreaking. No more #facism Let's stop walking backwards and be on the right side of history...for once

----
Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.
Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.
That's why Trump is attacking the Dept. of Educations, science and the arts -- to prevent us from learning.
It's fascism.

LevkaThanks for the screenshot. We didn't have to leave this site to read your stuff. This is what I was talking about last week when we were discussing Substack. Bluesky is also problematic:

@[email protected] Bluesky is a honeypot. Adding a payment method or uploading a photo ID just populates another list for the ruling class to use to manage their livestock. The Holocaust started with lists. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/48838.IBM_and_the_Holocaust

We’ve Hit Peak Denial. Here’s Why We Can’t Turn Away from Reality
How to recognize a decaying civilization:
1. Disparity of wealth (economy)
2. Hatred against lower class not limited to ethnicity, religion, migrants, etc. (Social cohesion)
3. Deaths of schol Nov ars/scholarly works (anti-progress of knowledge/sciences)
4. Rise of calamity businesses such as war/ conquest, life/death, food/famine (fueled by previous ranks)

“Great civilisations are not murdered. Instead, they take their own lives.
So concluded the historian Arnold Toynbee in his 12-volume magnum opus A Study of History. It was an exploration of the rise and fall of 28 different civilisations.”

Toadofsky@rbreich Why should Donald care about the future? He seems stuck in the past.
@rbreich Unfortunately, the ones who need to hear and read your words are blind, deaf, and apparently stupid !!!
Please lose the #ableist language. It's offensive. You are talking to no small number of actual blind and deaf humans. It's insulting to use them as metaphors. They aren't metaphors, they're people. There are a number of people with a variety of disabilities, some more impactful than others, some not obvious at first glance, some profoundly obvious. We're all human. We all have feelings. Show some respect.
Redivyinc@rbreich Would you be able to add atl text?
ChuffMeister@rbreich it’s why Murdochs media is pitched at a reading age of 6 and why AI’s suggest words you wouldn’t choose to help dumb you down.
