The third order effect of handing out money for nothing, is the chicks coming home to roost as anti-education movements tear down the nation.
- lores 1y agoEurope as a whole manages to hand over money for nothing to would-be students in need without any anti-education backlash. An anti-education stance is the cause of protesting education subsidies, not their consequence.
- spwa4 1y agoYeah right. Now go visit East Germany, no shortage of anti-education anti-intellectual attitudes.
- mcphage 1y ago> The third order effect of handing out money for nothing, is the chicks coming home to roost as anti-education movements Anti-education movements may be a third order effect for this, but it's a first order effect for other groups who are deliberately pushing anti-education efforts.
- gosub100 1y agoNo one's "anti education", except universities bloated with administration and professors who publish false data for the gov bux.
- _DeadFred_ 1y agoThis. People didn't agree on immigration levels yet they thought people fleeing horror should have shelter from the horror and be given asylum. The Democrats seemed to let the asylum process be abused as a general immigration process and now the US is having a huge pullback/backlash on asylum seekers.
- intended 1y agoAs someone else pointed out, yeah - anti education movements are a third order effect of how succesful education is at not making people vote for religious causes and non scientific positions. The threat of its efficacy, is why, since 1960 onwards, a large chunk of the western world has been figuring out how to bend psychology, rhetoric, and media forces to undermine "Ivory tower" intellectuals. Yes, a succesful movement has been undermined because it posed a threat to people with the money to spend to fight their battles. This is old news.
