The pettiness is unreal.
This is not “pettiness”. This is all part of a multi-generational psychological warfare operation to brainwash the working class and implement totalitarian dictatorship — started by the Koch Bros, Roger Ailes, Rupert Murdoch, and other wealthy narcissists several decades ago — and the fascists are winning; facilitated by “liberals” who are mostly a manufactured opposition, financed by the same corporations/oligarchs.
No war but class war, and the capitalist class is winning.
The rhetoric that politicians are idiots and they don’t know what they’re doing is also damaging, because it makes people assume stupidity rather than malice.
But it is malice. The incompetence is real, make no mistake, but malice is in fact the end goal.
The rhetoric that all politicians are corrupt and evil is also extremely damaging, and is parroted strictly by conservatives and the daft-right who then go on voting for the most corrupt and evil ones every time.
Its also parroted by the left because we can see the corporate backers funding the various politicians.
Citizens United was the greatest coup the ruling class could have gotten (before social media anyway), and its made it trivial to corrupt our politicians. And we can see how stances change or how there’s always juuuuuust enough politicians to vote for some horrible bill to pass or kill a bill good for the people. Its kinda sad how many people don’t see this.
When profits are involved, always assume malice.
The only time you should assume stupidity is when dealing with family, friends, colleagues, frontline workers, etc; basically anyone you interact with who wouldn’t profit off the malice (eg the sales person or marketing team will lie to make a sale).

I’d say educational system, or better, it’s downfall through decades, plays a significant role in making population dumb enough to not see through these constant lies.
It’s easy to control sheep. Machiaveli wrote a literal guidebook in the 1500s. If you dumb them down and destroy free thought, you can rule as you see fit.
The multigenerational operation directly involves the defunding of, and attacks on, education. This isn’t a this or that situation. ALL conservative and neoliberal policy since the 1970’s is about destroying ALL socialist/liberal/democratic advances made to date, and returning the working class to ignorant destitution; much easier to control and brainwash mentally-ill morons (see MAGA).
It feels like some edgelord 4chan trolls have taken over the government
4chan played a non-insignificant part in getting MAGA in power. It always attracted throngs of alt-right morons who dominated the political discourse. Back when nazis were afraid to speak about their beliefs in public, the Internet quickly became their breeding ground and base of operations. They got in very early, and were always very good at dominating and influencing online sentiment.
Yup, and I was almost one of them. Can take a while to deprogram oneself. It literally took me being exposed to the wide world out of their little microcosim of understanding and rhetoric to see they were putting 2+2=9. Add in the neo-liberals who cozy up with them when anyone with a hint of progressivism gets popular or change is on the horizon. Then saying stuff like “they can still learn and understand.”
Exactly what happened. What are we going to do about it? I plan to create a self-sustainability community to at least drain their leverage a bit.
Do you think anyone could shoot her an email asking for comments on shit?
