Amidst discussion about wealth inequality and race issues, I really wanna hammer into younger Gen Zers minds about how awful Ronald Reagan was I feel like we all got propaganda’d in school on how great he was just because of basic charisma and for the fact that he made some dopey speech at the berlin wall, but looking back he was just pure fucking evil: He caused so many problems that we’re all dealing with today- and problems that made Zoomers become “Doomers”:

All of us are angry about how Rich people are putting down poor people during this Gamestop-Robinhood fiasco, it’s good to remember when that started to get real popular…when people say “Ronald Reagan was the devil”, they’re not fucking around.

Nothing but respect for my president

Pretty much yeah!

Holy shit, Bernie just popped off on the Senate floor

Transcript: And now I find that some of my Republican colleagues are very distressed. They’re very upset that somebody who is making ten, twelve bucks an hour might end up with a paycheck—for four months!—more than they received last week. Oh my G-d! The universe is collapsing. 

Imagine that. Somebody who’s making 12 bucks an hour, now like the rest of us, faces an unprecedented economic crisis, with the 600 bucks on top of their normal- their regular unemployment check- might be making a few bucks more for four months. Oh my WORD! Will the universe survive? 

How absurd and wrong is that? What kind of value system is that? Meanwhile, these very same folks had no problem, a couple years ago, voting for a trillion dollars in tax breaks for billionaires and large profitable corporations! Not a problem! 

But when it comes to low-income workers in the midst of a terrible crisis, maybe some of them earning or having more money than they previously made- [tongue clicks] oh my word we gotta strip that out. Gotta- we gotta tell those poor people that no matter what- 

By the way when this bill, when the McConnell bill first came up, unbelievably, and I know many Republicans objected to this, they were saying that well we wanna give a, whatever it was, a thousand or twelve hundred bucks, but poor people should get less. 

You see, because poor people are down here, they don’t deserve- they don’t eat. They don’t pay rent. They don’t go to the doctor; they’re somehow inferior, because they’re poor we’re gonna give them less. 

Well that was addressed. Now everybody is gonna get the 1200 dollars. But some of our Republican friends still have not given up of the need to punish the poor and working people. 

You haven’t raised the minimum wage in ten years! Minimum wage should be at least fifteen bucks an hour, you haven’t done that! 

You’ve cut program, after program, after program, and now horror of horrors, for four months, workers might be earning a few bucks more than they otherwise would. Well needless to say, this— (audio cuts off as video ends).

countless innocent krill are scooped up by whales every minute and all you people do is stand around fantasizing about bernie sanders and his… big beautiful eyes… his soft rosy cheeks

I nearly fell off my couch when Sanders praised Castro for a literacy program (that was in reality an indoctrination program.). Come on now.

As if to imply any education program isn’t implicit indoctrination into the dominant ideology of the nation? As if capitalist nations are completely devoid of propaganda in their education systems? What is the Founding Father mythology – a mythology that glosses over or deliberately leaves out slavery and Native American genocide and aristocratic notions of what it means to govern – if not a lifelong campaign to win the hearts, minds, and loyalties of the American people? Propaganda is not just something “the other people” do; it’s an inherent part of class domination and political power, both of which the US ruling class has in droves.

Also Obama made very similar comments about the strengths of Cuba’s education and healthcare systems, if you actually care about consistency on the topic. Funny how this goes completely ignored and is only used against Bernie because it’s politically expedient to attack the Democratic Party’s left-wing in times of corporate centrist consolidation.

We can have valid debate about the strengths and follies of Cuba and its political system, but first you have to be coming from a place of intellectual honesty.

I remember being the only one in the class at around age 10 who thought that the atom bombing of Japan was a war crime. That’s indoctrination for you. 

We literally pledge allegiance to a piece of cloth. If that’s not indoctrination, I don’t know what is.

Bro, we were literally taught that manifests destiny was good and that the gulf war was justified

When I was a child I didn’t know what the big deal about Martin Luther King Jr. was because I thought Abraham Lincoln solved racism. The sum total of everything I was taught about Native Americans in twelve years of public education could maybe fill a page. I WAS LITERALLY TAUGHT THAT CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO THINK THE EARTH WAS ROUND!!!

Maybe countries that live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, OP.

I have talked to Americans who have said that every war their nation was ever in was justified. Americans who thought First Nations had no cities or towns. That the new world was empty of human habitation except for like three teepees. And it frightens me

…aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the Democrats haven’t learned a damn thing since 2016….
