I was thinking the Brigmans. Wait, there's an NTI standing right behind me, isn't there...

Even the White House making its own lügenpresse page on its website is only the beginning of the lows in which they will sink and drag us into.

Nothing is embarrassing if you're absolutely shameless!

And yet it's almost certain that they will all continue to try *even harder* to cower, capitulate, or collaborate with the regime moving forward.

American media is failing this moment even harder than our universities and other institutions.

Which is saying a lot.

We're a decade into this war on objective truth. The media knows better.

They're failing on purpose to get more clicks.

In 2015, it was a hard sell that people who went to journalism school and read Lakoff didn't know what they were doing.

It's 2025. They're doing this on purpose.

If past is prologue, they're only rethinking how they can cower or collaborate even harder.

Also we somehow managed to find a worse hypothetical future than Jankowicz's...

I'm saying we shouldn't pretend the ones who are failing aren't failing... and, yes, fail them.

Pretending is making it worse.

Adding denial on top of the problem of *the kids are failing* just makes an even bigger problem.

Pretending they're not failing is literally unrealistic.

Passing failing students and hoping that just magically works out is delusional.

Even if we accept that, it's still just an excuse.

The reality is that the kids are failing. They should fail.

Pretending otherwise is worse.

Thanks for this. I like how it makes clear that this isn't a one-off or another fascist whoopsie... but an ongoing top down support of fascist ideology using classic American fascist jargon throughout the regime.

Folks can be indignant about people calling their conspiracy theory a conspiracy theory, but if there's no actual evidence, that's all you got is a conspiracy theory.

A right-wing conspiracy theorist could just as easily believe it was the "deep state" with the same logical fallacies.

When the leaders of the anti-democratic movement were standing in the Oval Office depicting themselves as the true champions of democracy, after a lifetime of "two wolves and a sheep" / "republic not a democracy" rhetoric...

We're talking about people who barely understand their own government, even how potholes get filled.

International law is basically amorphous magic to the general public. Even those actively engaged in "politics."

You're effectively saying your university has become a diploma mill. Which is a disserve to everyone, even students who put in effort.

Apparently they should have just stayed home and gone to the library, because your degrees are just status symbols, not an indication of learning.
