Episode 3: A Young Person's Guide to the American Political System - (#2)

(Part I-The Myth of Democracy & The Illusion of Freedom)


Critical Thinking Question: How easy would it be to convince someone that they were free...if you could also make sure that they never knew what "freedom" really was?


Topic: Why I am against political solutions for education, AKA using the system to change the system by working within the system. To me, that sounds like a myth that came out of the system, like bears spreading rumors about staying still when you encounter bears (it's easier for them to eat you that way).


In this episode we'll address three big myths about democracy:
1. It works
2. It's good
3. It's freedom

(!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!)
1. It doesn't
2. It's not (this is very important)
3. It's almost the opposite
