Lead story in the Süddeutsche Zeitung today: "The great dumbing down...How the US government is destroying the world's collective knowledge." Our nation is not only an embarrassment in history. It is destructive of intelligence.
the dumming down is a tried & tested method of #autocratic regimes to rapidly phase out any worthwile opposition & dissent. My prediction, the effect of this dumming down will shows itself in clear daylight during the #midterms2026 when despite the majority’s hope odpf change there will not be a #bluewave as the #trumpadministration will have gutted all the smart (& thinking) election officials
Es ist der riesige Neid von T, der ihn da leitet. Was er eigentlichen ersehnt, aber niemals bekommen hat, nie bekommen wird, wie er wohl ahnt, ist das Wissen und die Fähigkeit der anderen, der Klügeren, stärker Gebildeten, der Wissenschaftler, Akademiker oder sonst wie sehr viel Intelligenteren auf der Welt. Wie ein Baby die Mutterbrust hasst und zerstören will, aus dem Neid, da sie hat, was es nur begehren kann, aber nicht darüber omnipotent verfügt.
Is unfortunate that the rest of the world bought into the bullshit self-aggrandisement that the US foisted upon everyone for the past century or so, instead of treating it as the racist fraud it always has been.
Books endured millenia, spread all over the world, conserving the knowledge. The Germans tried burning the books but they failed. Religion destroyed much knowledge and science once. In the digital age you only need one stupid president who flips the power switch and it's all gone in a microsecond and it will be worse that all the centuries before because mostly there is no copy of it left.
My ancestor came from Germany in 1743. I grew up splitting my time between the USA and Germany. I served in the US Army primarily in Germany. I went to college in Germany. We Americans get a lot of things right but in this moment we're the dumbest f**ks on the planet.

So a bachelor degree (not earned, but bought with Daddy's money) is the maximum education level allowed in the Trumpland.
