Watched a video about SovCits once. It was wild hearing a British man complain about his constitutional rights being infringed.
During Covid there were many Canadians arguing the first amendment was being violated by the government. The Canadian first amendment establishes Manitoba as a province of Canada.
I’m from the US and obviously education is different all over the world, but I always think back to the crazy high number of people that graduated high school with me that I knew who legitimately didn’t want to learn anything because they “would never use it in the real world”. And before I got off identified social media whenever I would see them post it was always something like this with a non existent grasp of how the world works.
I don’t even know if I have a point other than how do we even begin to fix a problem this invasive and embedded. I’m almost 40 and these folks are not going to accept any sort of reality anytime soon, but we need them to understand reality so we can address its threats we face as a species.
I may be looking to the past with rose colored glasses but it seems like most people used to respect an expert. Now too many are suspicious of those who can help them the most, afraid of the education to let them understand, vent their frustrations against those trying to do something about it.
As long as we have demagogues riling up people by attacking education, technology, science, we’re sliding backwards
To be fair, they were right. They never used any of that knowledge they didn't learn in the real world.
This is into the realm of semantics now but it isn't even called the first amendment.
From Wikipedia: An Act to amend and continue the Act 32–33 Victoria chapter 3; and to establish and provide for the Government of the Province of Manitoba, 1870.
It really highlights how the information is prepared for idiots who don't understand what they are saying. They have no idea how to control their life so they look for the clearly labeled things like "legal" and "lawsuit". It's as if they think legalese is a form of magic that forces things to go their way.
No jurisdiction on stupidity.
