  • Almost certain aftermath photos are included in textbooks when I was in school. As well these images are found on the internet.

    I know these things aren’t mutually exclusive but Japan should focus more on apologizing for its own atrocities in WWII that led to the necessity of the bombs. The Rape of Nanjing had as many innocent deaths as the 2 nuclear bombs combined.

    (Also also it seems to get overlooked frequently, but the Allies could have kept fire bombing cities and it would’ve caused far more deaths then the atomic bombs caused.)




  • It’s republicans saying it’s bad. Because it changes the perceptions of people. Usually those perceptions reveal to people that conservative values are just the wrong way.

    As in it’s actually a good thing to listen to foreign peoples viewpoints immigrants aren’t evil monsters they actually boost economies more than homegrown civilians. Bigotry is actually a bad thing. religion has been the largest cause of death in history and isnt really what’s needed to help people tax breaks for the rich doesn’t help poor people etc

    When people have access to higher education, they gain skills to think freely and not just parrot what authoritative figures tell them. That’s why conservative republicans say higher education is bad. It puts them in the wrong and lowers their voter base. This is just a simple explanation but should get the point across.




  • This is speculation but:

    Higher education is typically liberal leaning. Liberals tend to be less religious and far more free thinking.

    Conservatives are far more religious and illiterate/less educated. Conservatism as it is now is a minority to progressive ideologies (frequently outvoted in populist polls).

    To get more power they need more religious and less educated voters to sway with propaganda/media talking heads. Higher ups are certainly pushing the narrative of private education (run by unlicensed teachers; teaching selective conservative values in textbooks) and it’s parroted by every republican voter and their mothers.

    An uneducated voter base will equally vote against their own interest. They just don’t know any better. I’ve seen relatives (grandma with Native American heritage vote republican; anti women’s rights/anti Native American rights/anti social programs) vote to harm themselves because fox told them to. Insanity.
