I’ve never believed government gives anything to anyone. Quite the opposite actually. Everything government does requires force and taking from another.

Then schools aren't "indoctrinating" kids?

Here's the problem; Who's to determine those interests?
You seem to think politicians and bureaucrats are the ones who should make those decisions, not the individuals in a community. Seems as if you think individuals can't make rational decisions on their own, so we need government to centrally plan things, like education.
Well, if you have so little faith in those individuals, how can it be possible you have so much faith in the government "leaders" they elect?

This is retarded.
Collectivism is a philosophy of the weak.

I think in some convoluted way, he was trying to call me a racist, but I didn’t really follow much of anything he said because it made no sense whatsoever.

the problem is the institution. the government should only be there to stop other people from infringing upon our rights, that's it. point blank.
large institutions are only morally good when the people who run them are morally good; they cannot be relied upon to have your interest in mind.

Yes, because education in America is totally a binary choice between learning reading, writing, and arithmetic... or not learning anything at all. Definitely don't pay attention to what our children are learning. Daddy Gubment gonna take care of the kids, don't question it.
Lol. I have no kids and I don't give one shite about other people's kids. If you don't want your children to be indoctrinated, brainwashed or turned into little Marxist commies, then parents need to pay due diligence to what they are learning in school.

You trumpet that bull shite which essentially disarms you from seeing/understanding/defending your real natural and obvious group/community interests.
Anything can be done in the name of group interests, even if it harms you and your family. That’s why there are only individual rights, not collective rights. Rights don’t come in bunches, they come naturally to all of us. Think for yourself, don’t blindly go along with “what’s good for society”.

Oh for sure bro that’s why the wheel hadn’t been invented yet in Africa when the first Europeans visited in the 19th century. Big government got in the way!

that's complete and utter BS. increasing numbers of people grow up in dysfunctional families that cause emotionally related developmental issues both academically and functionally.
some people are put under more academic rigor with higher expectations and more support from family, etc.
i believe everyone is capable of thinking clearly and honestly, there are too many examples of people completely changing their perspectives on life.

Nah. I pay my property taxes, that's where my interest in the education of other people's children ends. Your child is your responsibility, not mine.

Until some shite bag doesn't send their kid to school, the kid grows up to be a useless criminal and either damages your property or injures you, then your taxes pay to feed and house them.

Collectivism is literally slavery. Everything you do is dependent on what the leader says. I don’t bow to any man. Live your life however you want, but don’t hurt other people or take their stuff. It’s amazing how many people are so resistant to freedom.
