Conservative governments always oppress their people. Always. Conservatism is a global plague in desperate need of a cure.
The cure is education
Education is the innoculation, but not the cure. It is an important preventative that takes decades to have an effect. And conservatives are destroying that innoculation wherever they are able. It is, unfortunately, not a cure for those already infected.
An effective cure will be something much more swift.
In what way does education not cure the problem?
I get that you for whatever reason only recognize results if they are fast, but reality unfortunately does not share your bias.
When a disease is able to defeat the treatment, and is actively doing just that as we speak, it's not an effective enough treatment to be called a cure.
Adult conservatives have the world's knowledge at their fingertips and they ignore it, deny it, and ban it. They are resistant to education. They also work aggressively to prevent youth from being exposed to it. This disease is extremely resistant to the treatment.
If we can stop the adult conservatives from preventing education of the youth, then the youth can be prevented from becoming infected with conservatism. That's not a cure, though. That's a preventative.
So lack of vaccine causes conservatism? Fuck I'd rather get autism at this point
Haha brilliant!
Well the German conservative and Nazi movements in large part arose in universities so not always.
That is not accurate. It was working class conservatives that gave rise to nazism. They were quite opposed to education in their behavior. They burned books and imprisoned and killed scholars.
Revisionist history at its finest.
A Ph.D. student at Michigan State University said his mother was arrested in Bangladesh after he criticized the country's government in a Facebook post.
Tanzilur Rahman, who is pursuing his doctorate in materials science and engineering, said his mother, 58, was arrested by the Bangladesh Police on Sunday. Three days before, he posted his thoughts on the Bangladesh government’s role in the war crime trials of a prominent preacher and leader in the Jamaat-e-Islami party, a major Islamist political party in the country.
…
Court documents translated by NBC News said that Rahman’s mother, Anisa Siddika, was arrested at 11:40 a.m. at her parents’ home and charged with “planning to sabotage various vital installations, conspiracies, and sabotage against the government in protest against the arrest of multiple leaders and activists of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami.” Rahman said he had hired an attorney to work on the case and obtain these documents.
This is what a proper dictatorship looks like, folks.
All because his post seemed to go viral in the Bangladesh communities. Messed up stuff.
never go full North Korea
Speaking of Korea, about 15 years ago a South Korean man went to Amsterdam and blogged about smoking pot there.
He was arrested upon his return and imprisoned because South Koreans are bound by South Korean laws no matter where they are in the world.
Ok tankie.
