Probably twenty percent of the US population are in one way or another anti-American. Most of them probably don’t see it that way. They’ve been convinced that America is the primary cause of whatever their hobby horse threat is; climate change, fascism, chem trails, chlorinated water, the list is endless. America’s real adversaries, Russia, China, Iran, Democrats, stoke these fears, magnifying them into real monsters. In the minds of these people and despite all actual facts, if America gives up (coal power, nuclear power, gas cars, etc.) then the whole world will be saved from their imaginary problem. They have no perspective that, say, China is building coal power plants in the dozens per year. Or, that America could do all those wonderful things and it wouldn’t move the needle on their hobby horse issue even a millimeter. This was all created by our education system, which could not be more effective as a weapon against America if it were actually run by the Chinese.
Much of the US “education” system is a curse upon America. Many “educators” at all levels are misguided, cultists and fools.
