Do you think Truman’s decision to nuke Japan was justified? Why or why not? Curious to know how others see this.

Would love to know what y’all think—

What stuck out? What did I miss? What gets remembered wrong?

Wow, thank you so much for this comment—it means more than I can say. You’re doing vital work. I’ve felt for so long that anarchist, trauma-informed, and neurodivergent-centered models are the future of education, but no one wants to fund or study them because they threaten the system’s power.

You’re not just researching—you’re planting seeds. I’m sending you so much strength as you finish your thesis. And thank you for the reminder about Freire and Foucault—I deeply connect with their work, and it’s an honor that my manifesto resonated with those ideas.

If you ever want to collaborate or build something bigger from this conversation, I’m here. Let’s keep shaking the ground.

I wrote this piece to challenge the idea that Prohibition was ever about virtue.

If you’ve ever felt like history was sanitized or weaponized, this is for you.

Appreciate any feedback or thoughts—especially from folks who care about systems, history, or propaganda.

Thanks for reading.

That’s exactly it—same machine, just with new masks.

I really appreciate your perspective, especially coming from someone who’s seen the cycles firsthand. The fact that governments still wrap control in the language of “safety” says everything about how long this game’s been played.

And yeah… trusting the powerful because we voted for them—that part hits. Manufactured consent is real.

I think what gives me hope is that some of us are starting to ask deeper questions. Maybe not enough yet—but it’s a spark. And sparks spread. Thank you for sharing yours.

What do y’all think we still aren’t being told the truth about?

If they could sell Prohibition as virtue and get away with poisoning people—

what else do we accept as “normal” that’s actually built on control and profit?

For those who know what this is—you know what to do.

If you’ve seen signs of this on your campus, in your org, or in your inbox… document it.

Assume everything digital is traceable. Assume nothing is private.

This is exactly why I post in these spaces—so I can learn just as much as I speak. I hadn’t heard of Pedagogy of the Oppressed before, but I just looked it up and I’m floored. That idea—that liberation must come from the oppressed themselves, and that internalized oppression must be rejected—is everything I believe about education, revolution, and reclaiming power.

Praxis as reflection and action… that hit me hard. I’m definitely going to dive deeper into Freire now. Thank you for sharing that knowledge with me.

Wow, I really appreciate this response. You’re right—what we’re dealing with isn’t just an education system that’s “not working,” it’s one that’s working exactly as intended. The standardization of thought, emotional suppression, and the illusion of choice all serve the same machinery.

You nailed it with: “Our most powerful weapon is questioning and reading from all sources.” That’s literally the whole point of my piece—if we aren’t allowed to ask who benefits from our ignorance, then we’re not being educated… we’re being indoctrinated. Thank you for bringing that clarity.

I wrote this because the crumbling education system is something deeply personal to me. It’s not just broken—it’s familiar.

Has anyone else ever felt like you had to unlearn and reteach yourself just to actually understand the world?

Because when a system fails us that hard, we’re forced to become our own teachers. And that’s where resistance begins.
