Propaganda training

Wait a goshdarn minute..something just hit me like a ton of books..why is it *CHEATING* to do **FREAKING RESEARCH**?! If you don't know the answer, wouldn't the proper way to find out be to look into it yourself? This is precisely how we were trained to just trust the propaganda that's fed to us! Your teacher regurgitated something they learned from their college professor, you get handed a (or purchase the required) book(s) where the instructor then force feeds you that specific information and we just accept it as truth because well school. Gotta get that education!

Before all you institutionalized parrots downvote or *akshually* my comment, hear me out..change school to church/temple/cathedral, change teacher to minister/missionary/deacon, change instructor to preacher/elder/priest, change professor to televangelist/prophet/bishop, change college to congregation/seminary/mass, change book(s) to any religious text. Would you not then consider this also a propaganda machine?

Before any religious zealots downvote me or claim their religion is right or how dare I call their religion propaganda..I've heard it all and I'm not here to debate your religion. I was raised in the church and have since expanded my horizon with knowledge and research.

Which is my exact point! I'm not saying there is no benefit to becoming learned, in fact, I'm quite honestly stating the exact opposite. What I'm getting at is (if you haven't already deduced it) that the education system we were plunged into is just a machine designed to get us ready to be a good worker and do as your instructed and not question the task or the direction. Just keep your head low and finish your job like a good little cog. Step out of line (or look behind the curtain) and you'll suffer the consequences.

The same goes for the war machine. One could also argue the same applies to the financial system. The whole matrix is designed this way. Almost as if we are just cattle and are sent to slaughter when we are no longer a *productive* part of **society**. As if somehow we are measured by our value to the system and are only "significant" until we no longer serve the system.
