You perhaps are unaware of the book “The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America: A Chronological Paper Trail” (available from https://mpnl.org/Dumbing%20Down%20of%20America.pdf). It documents the enormous effort that has gone on for decades in making sure that the Americans never develop thinking skills that are taken for granted in most countries in the world, including the poorest African countries. The same machinery is now being used to propagate the DIE DIE (Diversity, Inclusion, Equity) training. The objective is clear. People capable of thinking for themselves and look after their own well-being cannot be treated as willing slaves. The oligarchs have coveted lording over slave populations through out history. We see this much more clearly than our forefathers. It is up to our generation to make sure that our children and grandchildren do not become parts of such slave colonies. That is the wider, civilizational significance of the Ukraine war.
