Let’s be honest about what’s happening in posts like this.
The person in the green graphic isn’t making an argument — they’re performing identity. And a lot of people like it, share it, and agree with it not because it’s true, but because it feels right inside the bubble.
That’s not evil. It’s ignorance — and ignorance isn’t a moral failing, it’s a skills gap.
People will keep agreeing with simplistic, cartoonish narratives like this until they’re taught how to:
• evaluate evidence
• understand incentives
• recognize branding and propaganda
• see how business, finance, and history actually work
You don’t fix this by scolding.
You fix it by teaching people how to think.
Open real classes.
Real business. Real marketing. Real finance. Real history.
Livestream them. Let anyone audit. Let them ask questions.
Because once you understand how narratives are built and sold, a lot of “patriotic” content starts to look like marketing copy — not reality.
Bubbles don’t burst from ridicule.
They burst when people finally learn how they’re being sold a story.
That’s the work.
