1·7 months agoWould 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.

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.

Psychology@lemmy.ml•Prohibition and the Profit Motive: How the US Sold Control as Virtue
2·8 months agoThat’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.

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?
