In response to the question, "How did Americans get so stupid?" - MC answered:
"Americans became so stupid because we continuously cut funding for
public schools and teacher salaries while upping standardized testing
which doesn't effectively teach kids ANYTHING, evaluating teachers on
their teaching abilities with the scores that absent students, disabled
students and students who don't speak the language get on the tests, cut
funding for family planning and sexual education so more and more
people who are not prepared or educated enough to have and raise
children properly are having and raising children improperly, and then
simultaneously distancing people from their food supplies so that people
have no idea what they are eating or where it comes from.
When you
don't even bother to think about your food it makes it easier to sit on
your couch instead of getting out and interacting with society...which
is the main reason that it is so easy for "the government" to control
us.
They have used targeted advertising to convince us that we need to
move away from black people and immigrants and "those who
aren't real Americans" to a gigantic house in the suburbs with a
chemically treated perfect lawn (never mind that those chemicals are
leeching into our water supply, poisoning us and giving us, our kids and
even our fucking dogs cancer and birth defects), where you have to have
a perfect body and an expensive car in order to consider what you're
living to be a "successful" life....convincing anyone who can't afford
any of those things that they are unworthy, unattractive, unsuccessful
and therefore...a loser...
So people get depressed, they eat shitty food
and sit on their couches and dream of things they don't even really need
while totally missing the things that they already DO have...like heat
and hot water. Ungrateful or even just completely unaware of all the
blessings they have of simply being alive on this amazingly beautiful
and miraculous planet called Earth.
We've simultaneously bred ourselves
to become spoiled and ignorant and impatient all at the same time and
it's getting more and more evident every single day."
"We're trying to
live the American Dream, while we are missing our American Reality."
