"In 2025, the world's economy is in shambles and America has become a totalitarian dystopia."
It's the plot for the dystopian Stephen King novel The Running Man and is about a man who can't afford treatment for his sick daughter. He and his wife have depleted all of their resources. Their last chance is to act as entertainment for the elite for whom they are nothing more but expendable laborers. That should sound eerily familiar.
A one minute investigation proved the sad story about a poor 91 year old woman stealing medication for her 88 year old husband was false. Far sadder than [Americans] people believing every meme they see without taking a minute to check if it's true before sharing it, is the fact that in the US actual people are actually dying because their healthcare system is corrupt.
Don't believe me? Ask Jess Djukanovic. This Iowa wrestle coach and pro-life Trump supporter found out she's a member of a cult that in acuality doesn't care about her or her children's lives. You can almost hear her cry at her nail salon appointment: "But I thought Trump would only target poor brown people!"
From the article: Jess and Miljan both consider themselves pro-life, but now, they’re questioning what that means in practice.
“Are you really pro-life if you don’t care about the mother’s life too?” Jess asks. “Doctors shouldn’t be afraid to do their job, but in Iowa, they are. This isn’t what we voted for.”
Of course the descendant of immigrants and her immigrant husband were wrong: a bad and unafordable health system was exactly what they voted for when they voted Trump. And now we wait for her next Tik Tok clip. In which she cries her husband got deported by ICE for being an immigrant.
Do you think 26,000 civilian deaths a year is a good price to pay for tax cuts for the extremely wealthy?
If you favour the rich, you are just as asleep as the Great Leader of the people who have been told to hate people who are awake, 'woke'. He is now seen as Great Leader of the Bored. His followers still support him, showing every sign of a cult.
How come so many people vote - if they do and are able to read the required paperwork - for the far right? Often that's because - if they can read at all - they can't comprehend what they read. So they rely ('re-lie': lie again and again) on short moving pictures ('Reels', 'Shorts', 'TikToks') for their information.
In short: the algorithm that's favourite in their bubble decides how they think. With all major social media companies in the hands of zionists and other figures on the far right, users who rely solely on social media for their information vote from conservative to even more to the right.
Turns out: a KGB experiment from the sixties was right in its prediction: If you constantly bombard people with scary messages, they become (more) conservative. The effect is clear within two months of starting the brainwashing.
Americans who have been out of the country for a period of time actually experience shock when they return: "I knew it wasn't really good, but had no idea the situation in the US was thís bad!"
It's really bad. The US education system does not teach people to look outside their borders and conditions Americans into thinking they are the best. They are not. Except for being laughed at for being incredibly US-centered and stupid. "I think it is true, therefore I am convinced it is", is the motto of a lot of stupid people. Those in the US are no exception. A funny example is Katie Couric. The NBC presenter convincingly reported at the Winter Olympics the Dutch are good at ice skating 'because they skate to work'.
In other countries reporters take a few minutes to do some research about the subject they are to report on. Apparently that's not the case in the US. To the rest of the world that makes them as stupid as the people that vote for a president 'because he promised to bring down the price of eggs!'

There's a clear reason why authoritarian governments don't want civilians to receive a proper education. They need mindless slaves.
Unfortunately third world countries are often led by an authoritarian regime. The United States of America for example. The last few decades saw an alarming decline in reading and math skills. Just look at President Trump.
And he's supposed to be the smartest amongst them.
If even their President is unable to think beyond the level of a child in second grade, you can imagine Americans are being laughed at by people in developed countries for their [stupidity] lack of thinking capability and basic skills in the area of math, history and geography.
How long do you think it will take the US to recover from what's done to the country in the past few decades and to be taken seriously by civilised countries again?
