      The Fox Effect is stronger in adults--as you age (beyond roughly 25, when physical adolescence ends for your brain) you gradually lose "neuroplasticity", which is basically your brain's ability to change itself.

      I don't think most conservatives understand irony, contradiction, hypocrisy, nuance or context, most are SIMPLE THINKERS. They hate complexity and are drown to slogans and symbols without curiosity to fully understand the meaning, context or history of most them. Also most lean authoritarian with strong nationalist trends so LIBERTY and FREEDOM is only for the ingroup, their liberty and their freedom. They understand that most of their liberty/freedom means OPPRESSION of someone else, but they see that as NATURAL ORDER as they are "TRUE" Americans and rest of use are just "undeserving others" who should be grateful to be allowed to be here or if you are Black or Mexican, shouldn't be here because America is a "white Christian nation." I understand now why they were so attracted to Trump and embraced him as "one of their own," because he really is a loud, bombastic version of who they are or believe themselves to be. That there are so many people like that is just so disheartening.

    I was watching an old movie after the book, grapes of wrath, and it reminded me that we haven’t really moved on from the depression. The way we are treating Haitians when they have no where to go. If these people were actually “Christian” and had read the Bible they would know that they are supposed to take care and look out for fellow humans. It’s similar to how the “okies” were treated during the depression. Do they teach children about what was done to fellow Americans at that time? We will never learn and grow if we don’t first learn.

      @@steppenwolf3252 The problem - even IF a farmer was knowledgeable enough to not engage in practices that were destructive for the highly fertile prairie soil, or had ponds - that did not help them. The storms were so strong that not even planting tree rows to break the wind would have helped. And there would need to be a rain sometime to wash off the dust from the leaves.
      Their seedlings in spring, and trees, pastures, and fields were still covered wiht the dust from OTHER farms. Which of course suffocated or stumped plant live. Plus the massive loss of top soil that needed thousands of years to form.
      The decades after the native Americans had been driven from the land (after the end of the Civil war the U.S. army had time to deal with them) until the late 1920s were on the wetter side of the natural cycle, the land could tolerate more abuse. It took a time to get to the excellent soil they started with, for the soil structure to be destroyed to the point where it was ready to be picked up by stronger winds. No one had made efforts to plant and water many trees (it is too dry for trees to grow on their own, that is why it was grassland) to break the wind, the settlers were glad not having to deal with tree stumps. They HATED to remove them where they had been before (regions with more rain, that were naturally woods). If you plough they are in the way, with other farming practices one could leave the, until they rot. People still obsess with revmoval of tree stumps when they could simply grow a flower mound on it, plant another tree side by side, build a fairy home or seating out of it.
      The dry spells finished off the already damaged topsoils, but this had been decades in the making. The First Nations - if they grew plants knew better about sustainability (it has to last more than 5 decades) - _they_ did not plough, so the soil did not evaporate so much water, the carbon and nitrogen was not lost (reacting with oxygen and going into the air), and it was better protected from the kinetic forces or fraindrops, drying winds, and if it did not rain a lot the water stored in the soil lasted longer - because there was always ground cover.
      Clueless European settlers saw the plough and plouging as the height of civilization and in itself justification to take the land from people "who did not know how to use land properly").
      No till no plough practices always left the soil covered and did not upend soil microbes when the layers were turned and the web of fungi in the soil disrupted.
      In short many practices that are now observed in permaculture.

      Heinlein was highly critical of fascism.
      You couldn't be a fascist and write the novel Starship Troopers.
      His over all political viewpoint wobbled a lot over time but he always self-described as Libertarian.
      The important thing to note is that this term originally described a left-wing philosophy closely related to Anarchism, before the word was bastardized by the American far-right; he also self described as an adherent to anarchism and Autarchism (Look that one up. I dare you...) at times, which are both far-left concepts, though he undoubtedly would have qualified these somewhat.
      He also seemed to have liked the idea of an internationalist world government (undoubtedly a left concept) as well.
      But hell, you could have gotten most of this off of Wikipedia with very little difficulty. I have to wonder why you didn't.

    Yep. I was that smart mouth little brat in school (‘90s-2000s) that reminded everyone every year that Christopher Columbus Day shouldn’t exist, and my annual lecture on small pox blankets was usually featured twice, both before and after Thanksgiving. These are just examples; my annoyance knew no bounds.
    I remember feeling really excited when I got to college and other people actually wanted to talk about these things. Then recently, I felt vindicated that there were steps being taken to provide a wider view in public schools….but as we all know, that didn’t last long.
    I happen to be white, but I think it’s completely absurd to think that teaching real, factual history could be interpreted as somehow being “indoctrinating kids to hate white people” or whatever such nonsense they’re spewing. I think we should hate Columbus and his ilk. I think we should hate frontiersmen for their massacres. I think we should hate slave owners for their atrocities. Before they started spouting this “indoctrination” nonsense, it never even occurred to me that people would see it as some sort of “attack” on all white people. It’s not. It’s just not. It’s educating young people about things in history that we need to make sure never happen again. It’s challenging the next generation to figure out how we can keep getting better (because there’s still a long, long way to go, and even further now with this nonsensical outrage over history).
    And now here’s the bonus: there might be a teeny tiny percentage of those offended little bishes that are weirded out by nature and seahorses, but it feels like one of those deliberate overreaches that will make them seem like they’re compromising when schools only ban the stuff they actually want banned. I could be off on this. It’s entirely plausible they really are next level prudes to the point where they will sexualize seahorses, but it smells fishy to me.
    Added bonus content: roughly 1 in 6 hospitals in America are Catholic or Catholic-adjacent, and they are not allowed to provide any birth control whatsoever, so yeah, I wouldn’t exactly call their proliferation into our healthcare system a win.
