"I go to school! Why listen to an expert out of school?"

So you don't want to learn elsewhere? What are you "learning" at school? Do you pledge allegiance to the u.s. flag? Did they teach you that they added "under god" in the pledge in the cold war? Did they teach you that or just tell you to blindly swear to a piece of cloth, a fake god, and the crimes for which they stand? George Washington was a British General. He betrayed the British and led the 13 colonies to victory over the British. They became the United States of America. The British still kept fighting and burned down the White House in 1812. The White House was rebuilt over sacred native lands. Did they teach you that or did they just tell you that George Washington was the first president of the u.s. and that he fought the British on behalf of the 13 colonies? . This is why you need to learn outside of "school". They're not educating you. They're brainwashing you. That flag you pledged allegiance to has made no allegiance to you. When you go to war and are ripped into bloody human hamburger the flag will be draped over your body but it won't protect you or the loved ones you leave behind. When you lose your job after paying taxes for decades you'll become homeless and that same government of America you paid taxes to will send cops to harass you and tell you to get lost when you try to sleep in a public park. . If you feel that your education is important then you need to educate yourself. Not with exciting ai videos or shocking personalities online but with critical thinking and long hours looking into historical records. You need to find the truth in old institutions and use their work to better your own understanding.
