Fuck america... I like my family and friends only. Everyone else is an npc or a bot.
I'm more concerned there are politicians who would defund PBS
They clarified the typo! Please ignore my confusion!
~~I'm out of the loop. What's wrong with PBS?~~
Oops just realized auto correct changed defund to defend
It's woke and therefore bad.
Have you seen it lately? Emo over there preaching love and playtime, instead of owning the libs and separating immigrant families.
It's publicly funded and therefore bad in the eyes of conservatives.
Hell, how long have the Kardashians been on TV? Take a look at the show The Circle, where people with no discernible skills see who is best at social media. We've been deep in Idiocracy for quite a while. Oww! My Balls! is just over the horizon.
What the fuck is the circle? Oww my balls suddenly sounds like an upgrade
The Circle is a TV show, like I said. IDK what network or service it's on.
lots of sensitive fee fees in here LOL
ok, i'll join in: americans are stupid
and it's by design. remember when al franken asked betsy devos a simple question and it was made abundantly clear that she didn't know the first goddamn thing about education? but she bought her seat, so she became the secretary of education, saying we need guns in schools for "potential grizzlies." i'm not fucking making that up
not only do 1%ers (the people who are calling the shots on public education) not give a fuck about public education, but they actively despise it, as that is money going to poor people instead of themselves AND an educated populace is bad for the aristocracy. so yes, there is a MAJOR anti-intellectual bent to all of american culture thanks entirely to republicans from the top all the way down to the mayor level, and spoiler alert: it's not getting any better, since every attempt to improve education is blocked. by people who watch duck dynasty
edit: i need to add: to the people who insist on arguing against the painfully obviously hyperbolic statement "all americans are stupid" without taking 2 seconds to consider "maybe the core claim is that way too many americans are stupid, not literally every single american"-- you are reinforcing a side of the debate, just not the side you think you are
as that is money going to poor people instead of themselves
You need to look no further than the GOP obsession with cutting government programs to back this up. The "money going to" is in fact taxes and so if government programs are cut Republicans can also further reduce taxation on themselves and the ultra wealthy without hurting the deficit as much. They couldn't possibly care less about government assistance programs because they don't need them, it's just the "poors" that do and we all know the Republicans mindset on that: get good or die, loser. Let the church do charity, but don't "force me" to care about you.

Hah! You claim to be against anti intellectualism yet you move your own goal posts when people prove you wrong via a counter example!?

Oh fuck off. “Cosmos” was never meant to be an ongoing series. Sagan didn’t intend for it to be more than one season. And there were two follow- up seasons with Neil deGrasse Tyson later on.
Also, there are 51 (and counting) seasons of “NOVA.” Not all Americans are stupid.
Also The Universe or whatever it was called on history channel got a lot of episodes.
Half of you are stupid. The other half are just hanging out with the stupid and we can't tell who is who.
No shortage of documentaries or reality TV. We live in a land of plenty. What you watch is up to you though. They even remade cosmos in 2014, so there's interest there.
How is this political?
The worship of innanity is actually a political issue in part, an extension of the culture war.
As an American myself, your average Americans head would spind then explode due to extreme confusion 10 minutes into sagans show.
Duck dynasty However is, misogynistic, extreme evangelism, shoot em up guns, blownin up stuff, and incomprehensible hillbilly nonsense that your average American thinks they understand quite well. They don't know it's yet another propaganda enterprise made to make you think you know, ya know?
Anyways sorry for the rant I just really despise that whole family
If I recall, all those Duck Dynasty characters were a complete fabrication. Like if you look at their "before" pics they dressed and shaved and had haircuts like 9-5 corporate jobbers.
They were a manufactured product to pull in rubes and spin them up on white Nationalism and white Christ rhetoric. And, of course, it worked.
Wow, that makes it so much worse
They'll get him back right after the woolly mammoth.
Reality TV shows sucks
Low effort edge lords. I hate low effort edge lords.
ok but have you considered this: quack quack,,?
I've heard of the dead guy's series from almost half a century ago.
I have no idea wtf Duck Dynasty is. Sounds like something I'd order with plum sauce.
