Pick we live in an increasingly globalized world and statements like this are just nonsensical. You can't on the one hand be concerned about jobs here and on the other not care whatsoever that the rest of the world is sinking into poverty and chaos because it's like hey - they're just gonna all come here then and a wall isn't going to stop them.

Isolationism didn't make sense even in 1700. What happens elsewhere affects us.

Even opinion aside, a lot of the poo poo that we did down there is covered in a lot of American history classes and poo poo as a part of the Cold War and our application of the old Monroe Doctrine during it. So the idea that somebody is a rarity because they know who Pinochet is, regardless of their opinion, is pretty drat lol.

The first thing I remember Jebby doing on the campaign trail was catastrophically flubbing a question about the Iraq war that his stupid brother started

the most obvious question in the world and he just fell flat on his face, right out of the goddamn gate

This was the GOP's golden boy that got allllll the money. Looking back at it it's really no surprise Trump had a good shot and came out on top of the rest of the old guard plastic robots, crackpots, perverts, and, lunatics in the primary

Well you're certainly wrong.

quote:

Ilya Somin: No one survey question is all that important by itself. What matters far more is the cumulative weight of widespread political ignorance across a wide range of issues. But one good example of the extent of public ignorance is that only about 34% of Americans can even name the three branches of the federal government: executive, legislative, and judicial . It is not that familiarity with these terms is absolutely essential—it’s that anyone who follows politics even moderately closely is likely to know them. The fact that most people do not know is a strong indication of their ignorance about politics and public policy generally.

A good chunk of the population can't even name the countries bordering the US and would probably assume Pinochet was some kind of food item or maybe a card game.

In your defense, when I told someone in the factory that I was going to Italy with my family, she asked if we were gonna drive there.

The vast majority of Americans, and in fact, human beings are insanely stupid, including both me and you.

I think it should now be very apparent that we're all dumbasses with little to no understanding how to actually fix things, especially the people who say they do. People with degrees and 4.0 GPAs are just as dumb, look at me for example

Oh I don't mean to make it sound like it was thorough. Of was more of a "Hey we continued the Monroe Doctrine during the Cold War by meddling in a shitload of countries in the Americas and propping up various regimes" with a few as examples, which I remember including Pinochet, Batista, and a couple others I forget.

Also I'm not saying that Americans are highly educated, I'm saying calling yourself a rarity because you know a history thing is pretty drat lol, especially considering how much we like to harp on about commies and the cold war.
