      Americans don't want to pay taxes for education. They'd rather pay much more in up-front bills for an inferior education. All as long as they can get a checkmark that says "You passed, you're good" when it's still a lower standard than abroad.

      Of course, but it'll never happen. Absolutely no poor person will EVER hold a position of authority or power. Never. If you don't have coin, connections, clout, computer code, communities, and opportunities... you're actually "nothing". A no one. Invisible, and you've no power.
      In fact, it's nearly guaranteed that anyone posting on YTube (including myself) has any power or voice at all. Meaning one that can actually INFLUENCE huge numbers of people.

      You must understand. The leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. The October Revolution was not what you call in America the "Russian Revolution." It was an invasion and conquest over the Russian people. More of my countrymen suffered horrific crimes at their bloodstained hands than any people or nation ever suffered in the entirety of human history. It cannot be understated. Bolshevism was the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant of this reality is proof that the global media itself is in the hands of the perpetrators."

      None of us were alive, at the last years before and after the catastrophic fall of the African, Moorish and Muslim world in Europe after 800+ years of generations upon generations of existence in it --- we call this period the dark-ages for a reason, even though the true reasons are buried deep in DENIALS. LIES AND HISTORICAL AMNESIA. Much of our history as a species and as humans makes NO sense, at all, and that is because our history has always been a spoil of war, conflict and human survival, the victor gets to narrate the lies, and unfortunately nobody remembers the language of the last victors...
      That is why when you read ancient Egyptian history, it almost feels as if you are reading about ancient Greeks or Romans and yet they didn't exist as a noteworthy culture through much of the significant dynasties of Ancient Egypt and Nubia....
      "Christian Nationalism" is not new, it is the unifying symbol of the dark-age of Europe---it is why we are where we are today in the presence of the now and in history, and this drum is once again been pounded loudly in Europe and its colonies once again...

      You are assuming that these people actually have an issue with the US becoming a christian fascist state, this is for sadly a lot of them what they want. They want massive censorship of anything that doesn't fall into a strict way of being, they want women to have lesser rights, they want minorities to have lesser power, and they want labor to have no power. Yes it is because they have been told and convinced that this is what will make a great and strong nation, partly because they have an incorrect view of the past.
      In reality there has historically been a lot of overlap in world view between Liberals and conservatives in the United States, when I talk to too many liberals they also believe that giving power to elites is a good thing for society. Look at how many of them worship Elon Musk, then look at how Musk was able to get soooo much support from the far right by playing to them. In the US their is a lack of understanding of wealth and the wealthy by the middle class and lower classes as a result they will say things like "Musk is rich so clearly he knows what he is doing" because they don't understand that staying wealthy has nothing to do with competency really in any field.

    America has the oldest constitution in the world by a long shot. Yet it is seems sacricent to discuss it. I honestly think America has serious flaws that a constitution could fix but that the American "Father's" did not and could not anticipate. The world has changed a lot in so many ways in the two and half centuries since it was written. Many of the issues facing America, from the wholesale corruption of politicians, issues around elections, to the inability to get any meaningful legislation done in the paralyzed Senate, and more can all be traced quite easily to gaps and flaws in the American Constitution. Yet it is never discussed because it is very effective in protecting the elite class from the working class.
    When you get down to it people on "both sides" have very similar policy issues on the vast majority of issues. Yet real substantive issues are not really discussed by barely anyone beyond trivializing a few of them and weaponizing others.
    What is happening in America really scares me. Hope saner heads prevail soon and a voice can cut through the chaff with a message of truth that resonates.
    Elections are flawed but not how most people think. America is an Oligarchy and people need to learn what that means and why it is the cause of many of the real issues everyone faces and how to make that change and demand that. Hint, new constitution.

      This "new constitution" would be written by the people you're complaining about and it would be like most other Western Constitutions today, with multiple assurances that the government can infringe on any human right they want to if they feel like it that day.

Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. The October Revolution was not what you call in America the "Russian Revolution." It was an invasion and conquest over the Russian people. More of my countrymen suffered horrific crimes at their bloodstained hands than any people or nation ever suffered in the entirety of human history. It cannot be understated.

      Do you work for VICE? I can't understand how anyone would think this is fair and balanced unless they were monetarily swayed...

Look up the beliefs that Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic Christians tend to hold, they are way closer to what actual Christianity is, much like Islam, it does not tolerate the degeneracy that your bastardized versions of the religion does. Your people have given up their principles to protect the feelings of others.

    Yes, our country was founded on religious freedom among many, many other things. However I don't think she quite understands what religious freedom means. It's not the freedom to implement laws based off of religious beliefs, or to put "god" in public schools or public buildings such as courthouses, law enforcement agencies, federal government buildings, etc. It's the freedom to follow and be a part of any religion you wish, or to not be a part of any religion at all, it would go against what our country was founded on and out constitutional rights to implement laws based off of the Christian faith, or to put "god" in our schools, providing prayer time in schools for the Christian faith, etc. We have things such as separation of church and state that means the government, and any public establishment paid for with tax dollars can not push any religion regardless of which one you want or like to be implemented. It's sad that millions in this country have no idea that most of our founding fathers despised religion, especially Christianity. For some reason they have this strange idea in their heads that we were founded on Christian values, couldn't be further from the truth. We were founded by those who said things like "lighthouses serve a more important purpose than church", or "Christianity is the most perverse system to have ever shown on man", more people would do themselves a lot of good to educate themselves better on our founding fathers and their hatred of religion, again, especially Christianity. If you wish to be a part of religion, any religion, knock yourself out, have at it by all means. You don't, however, get to force that religion onto my kids while they are at public school, nor will you tell them they need to "repent to Jesus to be saved, lest you be subjected to burning in hell being tortured for eternity". At that point my kids have all permission from me to slap the sh*t out of whoever threatened them like that using their religion. Matter of fact I would take them out for ice cream for doing so.

Further show that their valuing of so-called "all-American" or "manly" traits does this nation more harm than good. Also, point out that poverty and crime are lower in Scandinavia, Germany, and Canada (owing to much of it being nextdoor to MAGA land - center of the continent).
