Can the Alt-Right be cured?

[Sativied]

Do you think it is worth the resources? Can we afford it?

Do you think an alternative stronger method that would protect your democracy is cheaper?

Is this just a huge public health issue that can be redressed by increased education?

How un-riu to pose an intelligent question like that.

The answer is it depends on the type of education. Specifically there needs to be an increased focus on the trivium (grammar, logic, rethoric). Additionally, anything that deliberately and fundamentally interferes with the development of young brains, anti-education such as abrahamic religions, should be banned from schools and politics and be considered child abuse. No child grows up racist, racism (believing one race is superior to another) is a believe, factually it’s nonsense. Same goes for believing trump is a great president. It takes a believer who is willing to reject facts and reason. No amount of additional education will solve the problem if the foundation is build of weak semifluid crap.

Just racist, homophobic, sexist, xenophobic...only cure for that is deprogramming. Not easy.

You just described every conservative follower of abrahamic religions.

What about a national "Sacrifice Zone"? We could create an area out of nonpreforming states and heavily fortify the border where they could create their own reality and live their lives out in a way that will not harm others.

Exactly what I was thinking. Religion must be destroyed.

My precinct voted for Bernie 80% to 20% in the caucus.

So, Dumbfuckistan with occasional pockets of enlightenment.

I think Texas would be the best place to bus them though. Appalachian states is good land for growing.

Agreed. And the Southern wetlands are critical to the environment.

But it should still be somewhere in the South so we don't spend too much money moving all the Confederate Hero monuments.

home schooling is a motherfucker to reverse....

 

[abandonconflict]

Wait, are we talking about Trump supporters or Bernie supporters here? I think the Bernouts can be cured, that's just a phase, a stupid trend. Trump supporters are the worst kind of regressive sociopathic cultural agents.

So which one are you?

"You can't cure stupid"
But they're not all just stupid is the scary part. Just racist, homophobic, sexist, xenophobic...only cure for that is deprogramming. Not easy.

exactly. denazification worked pretty well, but didn't cure them all.

Lol, oh so lets indoctrinate those who would disagree.

Just another reason the 2nd is there. They knew people like you would always exist. It keeps it to mere shit talking and never escalates into actual policy.

Smoke another one bro.

 

[UncleBuck]

We can't afford it though. Got a great big beautiful wall to build.

didn't you see trump's twitter posts? they already built the wall. he posted photos and everything.




*photos were actually a section of fence that was replaced under obama

indoctrinate you into what? abandoning your white supremacy and fascism?

i love the part where you turn homicidal and then tell the other guy to chill out, spandex.

All things in moderation.

Moderation included.

No, not indoctrinate, but teach them the ability of critical thinking so they can de-indoctrinate themselves.

And keep those guns holstered cowboy, the rest of the world will send a UN peacekeeping force to protect the borders and prevent conflicts between the US and Dumbfuckistan. And then sanction the fuck out of the latter.

 

[abalonehx]

I never was a fan of moderation.

 

[tangerinegreen555]

I disagree. There are a great number of special interests, many of them very well funded, who deliberately stir the pot and advance extreme and divisive views, very often for personal gain.

Sounds just like a Russian troll farm.

 

[ttystikk]

Or think tanks funded by plutocrats.

The similarities between the Russian and American political systems are striking and disturbing.

UN enforcement on American soil?

Uh huh.

Uh huh.

It's an international problem.
