I really wish I had meet Ron when I was in elementary school. It took me until I was in my early 30's to truly realize just how pointless the government is.
In theory, it makes sense. In practice, it's made and run by people, and so unfortunately, it will always be flawed. But for as bad as it is, I fear we're still better with it than without it. And I think even Ron kinda comes around to that by the end of the show.

People are born libertarian. It's indoctrination, at school and from parents (who themselves were indoctrinated earlier) that makes them think government is important.
@@IrishTheHobbit Nobody is born anything. Government is important but only for certain roles, and the more it sticks its nose into the things it shouldn't, the worse it does the job in the areas where it should. I actually posted a video on the topic and have more coming every 2 weeks if you are interested. Thanks!
I love how there’s apparently no problem with a 4th grader writing a full essay on why government matters to the mom, but the libertarian notion that it does not is somehow problematic. Really captures the actual debates of school boards today. Indoctrination of kids isn’t a problem-if it’s pro government and leftist
I find this so god damn funny, I do exactly this with young children to make them a duplication of me my me army is rising, but I always love how Leslie is best friends with Ron even with their day and night views haha but at the end of the day that’s what this show is about it’s not about politics ironically it’s about the people who gotta do all the work and the relationships they create god I love this show
It's impressive Ron wasn't sent to jail(I know it's TV, just go with it). The mother is extremely reasonable for going to Ron, and not just going to the police about the mine. However, Ron can 100% defend his lessons and eating her lunch, since eating the lunch was part of his lessons
This is, maybe, unintentionally a fantastic example of how stupid people can be 😂 Lauren’s mom didn’t question a 4th grader writing about why the government matters. But she’s upset that said 4th grader actually learned something regarding the same subject matter that goes against the grain 🤣 If you’re cool with kids being taught about government and being able to decide that it matters you can’t turn around and be upset when they decide it doesn’t matter, ma’am.
Most likely it isn't that the girl told on him. She must have defended her teachings when her paper came out and told her mother how Ron taught her. So, in this view, her mother's outrage was kind of unnecessary, but oh well, understandable. She was just a normal every day adult, she couldn't understand Ron's "metaphore".
One of very, very few times on this show where a citizen of Pawnee actually made sense and had a legitimate complaint that wasn't entitled or just downright stupid nonsense. I understand what Ron was trying to do, but that mother had every right to be pissed at him for what he told Lauren to do, for taking most of her lunch and especially the land mine. It was hilarious, sure, but that mom had a legit right to complain about how that's not appropriate for her kid.
I would like to see a common citizen go up to Joe Biden while he's eating his lunch and eat 40% of it. If he's from California, he can eat 50-60% of it.
I just love how about 80% of commenters here not only don't get that Ron is wrong, which is at least somewhat excusable. but don't even understand he's being portrayed as wrong. Like, he gave a fourth grader a landmine ffs.

I’m not sure if having to wait until 21 to drink is a stupid rule or not, but at the very least I would call it a pointless rule since nobody actually follows it. I know I didn’t.

"Can you autograph this one for me?" I love that.
Ron then preceeded to have it framed, and hung on a wall in his office.
His smug face, while she did, is just glorious!

“Why government matters,
It doesn’t”
