I don’t trust US

You clearly trust using media systems like Twitter, little short noise comments to drive serious discussion away.

To take the May 2025 situation in USA and turn it into social media mockery and entertainment, more than it already is. Conditioned reactionary reply comments.

“As the Nazi emphasis on nonintellectual virtues (patriotism, loyalty, duty, purity, labor, simplicity, “blood,” “folk-ishness”) seeped through Germany, elevating the self-esteem of the “little man,” the academic profession was pushed from the very center to the very periphery of society. Germany was preparing to cut its own head off. By 1933 at least five of my ten friends (and I think six or seven) looked upon “intellectuals” as unreliable and, among these unreliables, upon the academics as the most insidiously situated.” ― Milton Sanford Mayer, They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45, published 1955
