RE: You and I: Discovering our Natural Opposition to Authority

in #anarchism8 years ago

Government school made me the anarchist I am today. I realized, somewhere around 3rd grade, that nothing this bad could possibly be "good".

It was only years later when I learned what the words "propaganda" and "brainwashing" mean.

Government school definitely made me into an anarchist. I was always told in school that stealing, fighting, and lying were bad things and yet it's all I saw adults doing. That was my first clue that I shouldn't believe anything anyone says and instead research to see what I might agree with

Absolutely, the corrupting factor of schools are now apparent. Schooling, after all, is based on the Prussian model of education. And its goal is to mold and form people into good, upright worker citizens who are prepared for warfare and tribal unity at a moments notice.
