As such blaming Amerikkkan fascist brainworms on "poor education" is really just apologia for Amerikkkan complicity in oppressive systems that benefit them.

I definitely agree that Americans are complicit in their own fascism but that's true whether or not they have access to education.

I think more importantly than that Americans have access to some of the best amenities in the world. You can go to the hospital. You or your kids can go to school. You can own a car. You can drive on half decent roads. You'll probably work less than sixty hours a week. Sure Europe has all these things and better, and the situation in the US is worsening, but at the end of the day Americans can still go to the hospital and buy a Funko after and that means we're in the top 50%. Most people think things are more or less fine because as long as you ignore the crumbling foundation things are fine
