American Education system influenced by early nazism

[shenanigans]

Was recently watching the start of a mini documentary series on how our modern education system shapes our society. What stuck out to me was the critical pioneer for the Prussian education system -later replicated into American schools- was Johann Gottlieb Fichte who shared much of the ideological similarities to german Nazism (german unification, german superiority, hatred for jews, ect) except only 130 years earlier. and all in all is a must-watch documentary which id highly recommend, that also touches upon topics like the collage business model, how school is designed to influence you, how its changed throughout history, and how the current student loan crisis may lead to a situation akin to the 2008 housing market collapse - although thats only a logical conclusion if it continues

Looking back this post was a little cringe.

I now see that my world view on school 9-months ago (omg, it seems like forever ago) was radicalized. I attribute much of the radicalization to some beef/mini-trama I had with my school, but also a bit to my dad (who I love very much, but also pity) who is currently waist deep in conspiracies                 (I really want to have a family intervention with him on how all these twitter conspiracies aren't doing him any good, but at the same time he's also a sad man as he is working 9-5 in a job thats exactly the opposite of his values. I Bet the intervention would do him some good but I bet he would replace the conspiracy scrolling with some other outlet (although possibly a healthier one))

I ended up realizing through Leo's critique of school from above that many humans are inherently lazy such that if governments didn't burn the ships and make it mandatory for students to attend school, almost no one would go, and kids would likely instead unconsciously decide to pursue fun, quick distractions, and pleasure instead of education (further compounded by the likely peer pressure of other kids not going to school as well) leading to high illiteracy rates, generational diatisfaction, and a society made up of morons with no basic education of the world, leading to a plethora of problems and catastrophic decisions. This dis-functionality would also be further compounded by just the internet and social media in general, but also because of a lack of a basic worldview to contrast the internet against. Id imagine it would be something like if idiocracy and republican-party had a baby and it was raised by 4-chan (although with no one having any constant account of history, Id figure a few golden philosophers would shine through). Anyways thats just what I would imagine.

TLDR: School system could use alot of work, but not having school system would be way worse. Consequences range from problematic to shitstorm.
