SCHOOL SUCKS: I Could Just Murder You (A History of Government on Earth)

A rapid-fire look at the various threats, myths, excuses, promises and threats (again) the power-hungry relied upon throughout history, and how they were mostly laughed into non-existence by an increasingly rational civilization.

I like how you tie in statism with religion. More specifically, presenting the idea that statism is just another religion. Government schools are used as machines to indoctrinate the young into the religion of statism. Essentially, government schools are the churches for the religion of statism - complete with a prayer to the flag every morning followed by studying the holy texts (aka "history" books) that glorify and promote worship of statist idols (aka politicians).

@cyberbyronbaybassman Depends what you're being taught and by whom. Sadly, in the American school system, we have to learn critical thinking on our own. Emphasis on conformity and fact regurgitation is what we get, nothing more. By the time most students get to university, they're incapable of doing much more than memorize things and put them on paper. It's an outdated, backward system designed to create mindless little worker bees, not an educated populace.

Well good video yes but I have to say that school... and I mean a really well funded and accessible state school system based on curiosity and rationality like the one I attended in Australia taught me everything on this movie file already .

Not sure why you its entitled school sux, cause I think ignorance and private schooling reproducing the same racist/sexist/capitalist selfishness of previous generations sux worse.
