| | | History shows us, that we humans, before public education were pretty barbaric the world over. There was a time when torture, slavery and inhumane behavior was common place, as well as overt racism, sexism and homophobia.
As we humans became educated and learned to think abstractly, we did away with most of that until today there is NO legal slavery anywhere in the world and most highly educated democracies have laws and customs today against racism, sexism and homophobia.
A review of history shows that over the last 15,000 years as we humans learned we became more humane, until today where Steven Pinker in his book:" The Better Nature of our Angels" has pointed out this is the most peaceful time in the history of humans.
And, IMO, history is clear in pointing out it was education that brought us to this point.
The Republican party is a party of ignorance, insanity and criminality and I believe right wing imprinting.
The most uneducated white's are mostly evangelicals and/or Republicans.

ROFL
and what, then, do you make of educated republicans? Some of them have read the same books you have- and more, and yet they think the same way the Taliban do. I think you're missing something. There is a genetic component to conservative twatism. They really are born that way. If one were generous, which I am not, one would see them as damaged from birth- I just see them as an impediment. But I'm not under any illusions that education will change people who are wired for fear and shame- those people are born to be conservatives, and it does not matter where in the world they are born. Every country has its conservaturd population. |
