      yes. from birth to death, americans are force-fed a steady diet of lies, distractions, american exceptionalism–on top of the guilt, fear, and shame pounded into their skulls by religion

      i work at an academic library. not only are kids woefully unprepared for higher education, but they are coming into the world without even a grasp of how to think critically about the information they’re being presented with, let alone why

      the comic is correct, for sure, but my point stands
