I'm increasingly convinced that the US will never escape this pit of anti-intellectualism they've dug.

[–] TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 days ago

I don't think they ever will, at least not as the US exists today. I can see a possible future in which the US fractures and Balkanises and then, the better off of those future-countries would maybe see a rejection of traditional US beliefs, values, and ways of thinking.

But I can't see that happening in the US today because keeping the people ignorant, gullible, and under a broken electoral system is highly beneficial to the ruling elite.

Nothing short of the spectrum of corporatocracy (at best) to executive authoritarianism will do.

It's almost like Americans pride themselves in their stupidity.

Not if Americans refuse to cast off the chains of their masters. Blissfully walking into slavery?
