Ever wonder why woke people hate America so much?
American Thinker ^ | 5 Sep, 2021 | Steve Feinstein

It's a matter of what they've been taught.

"No one ever washes a rented car." This old cliché explains much of what is happening in both politics and society today.

The entire CRT/BLM/wokist sentiment in the country — epitomized by what is happening in a sizable majority of high school and college classrooms — highlights what is arguably the most dangerous issue currently facing America: we are raising — encouraging, even! — an entire generation of people who feel no ownership of, loyalty to, or obligation to the country in which they live.

The woke movement is the predominant force driving the social and political narrative these days. To begin with, the crazy, out-of-control wokist revisionist curriculum and history that both students and their parents have to deal with today would have been unimaginable just a short generation ago. Never in our collective history has such a sizable segment of the population espoused such self-loathing, anti-American thoughts as today's misguided woke Progressives. The irony of their unrecognized privilege that allows them the freedom to criticize the society they live in from a safe and comfortable vantage point is too obvious to bother pointing out.

SNIP

The professor announced to the students, "I will not accept anything on your papers from news sources that I consider biased, unreliable, or based on opinion instead of verifiable fact. Nothing citing Fox News, Newsmax or the N.Y. Post is acceptable. For current news sources, only the N.Y. Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, and CNN will be considered as trustworthy and credible." These are sources that are solidly in favor of CRT, the 1619 Project, and BLM.

The entire education establishment needs to be redone so it can not continue to actively undermine our society.

No, I do not wonder since I know it is a combination of dunning/kruger and cognitive dissonance that causes these idiots to do what they do.

In short, they are mentally diseased.

One way to begin the re-do the entire idoctrination (”education”) industry is to end all federal guaranteed student loans for any university with endowment in excess of $25 million.

Then like mortgages, federal law that all these cesspools of anti-America publish data how much a degree costs, how long it would take to save the money to get a degree, how long it would take to pay-off the degree, and liklihood that one will get a job, type of job, in the major 1, 3 and 5 years after graduation based on student data. Failure to file we be subject to fines, etc. Give these do-gooders some of their own anti-free market medicine.

I washed a rented car a few years back.

Houston to Seattle and some of it all night long. It was summer and tons of bugs. I could barely see and wasn’t turning in a nice car looking like that.

Perhaps hating them back might strike a chord.
Make it stick.

They hate the constitution for the same reason that they hate God: for what either takes away from themselves. Authority over all.

' an entire generation of people who feel no ownership of, loyalty to, or obligation to the country in which they live.'

That is the nature of most companies. People who leave one state for another, have the same choices. They go to a better state, there is no loyalty for where you grew up in situations like that. Not only that, but why would you be loyal to a country that continues wasting your money, helping illegals, bailing out different industries and supporting causes that harm America.

I doubt it.

If American students remembered even 10% of what they have been taught, we would be the most competent country in the history of the world.

I got good at the “reliable sources” game in college. It would be very easy to destroy pretty much any outlet cited here as “reliable” by taking them apart with stuff from Reuters, AP, or the BBC. You can also reverse engineer stuff from FOX and other sources on the right the same way.

Been saying it since 1972: “Once the communists gained control of the former public school system, the games were over for future generations and the American dream...”

Here it is 50-years later and there are still morons out there who laugh at the idea...

The Marxists (Fabians) established the strategy back in the 1880’s & 90’s that America could only be converted to Marxism if the Marxists gained control of the Nation’s public education system...

They never veered from this strategy and the 1960’s were their crowning achievement...

Simple fix. Go back to old articles from these now rotten sources — before Aholes like this teach got influence on truth.

As to washing a rental. Uhh, how else does one remove the blood? Especially off the grill.

Because at heart, at the core, woke people are not Americans. They are intellectually Brits or Euros

All progressive thought is derivative of that across the Atlantic

SCHOOLS!

Our nation's most serious threat to freedom. ( Yes, I am shouting.)

Oh!...And don't be foolish about private schools. Remember, nearly every teacher in this nation was trained by godless Marxists in Marxist-run colleges and universities.

It’s true for too many private schools, too.

“In short, they are mentally diseased.”

No doubt, that is my assessment after several discussions with woke family members. There is no apparent cure. It is equally unhealthy to view the woke left as either the loyal opposition or those with which we can coexist. Neither is true. The woke left treats those in the middle or on the right in a similar fashion as islamic extremists treat non-believers - submit or die.
