I think you’re right in that it’s motivated by the anti-labor attitudes that teachers are inherently lazy and need constant monitoring, plus busywork metrics for students, but I don’t think it’s Karen parents behind it. It’s neoliberal shitstain administrators and local/state politicians who see teachers as antagonistic and thus want to subject them to harmful oversight and control. It’s not just homework, there’s been a distinct push to standardize every aspect of the classroom so that teachers aren’t working with students to improve their skills anymore, they’re dull bureaucrats there to administer cookie cutter programs (which, no doubt, the education department paid a pretty penny for to private contractors/publishers). It’s all about churning out metrics to justify systems, with actual education a distant second on the priority list.

It’s also fed by that American-centric narrative that Allied victory in WWII was overwhelmingly due to American forces with English, French, and Russian forces as background characters. So they assume Russian troops were neither necessary for Allied victory nor an impediment to America.

Or you could just go to a coffee shop and do this while being able to sit in a chair with a proper table.

Not to mention that Western forces were depleted at the time on the account of, y’know, fighting the Axis powers.

The devs on Paper Mario: Origami King noted (complained?) that they weren’t allowed to introduce any new character types, or even vary significantly on the established character types. Nintendo can be weirdly neurotic about protecting/limiting their IPs.

Hope by the time they find it, some bear has decided to claim it as their den and they have to accept it’s the bear’s now.

Given the long history of bias against minority and women artists by the hall of fame, can’t say I’m surprised.

So it’s similar to the restrictions in Germany on Nazi displays

Also, there’s a difference between pithy observations on working class oppression and having a fully fledged revolutionary ideology mapped out.

This reminds me of that sports copypasta/meme; “If you take [star athlete] and ignore the top twenty percent of their performances as outliers and then do a regression analysis, you’ll see they’re actually an average athlete for their position.”

The conservative bankrollers know it doesn’t matter if the congresscritter has any acumen for policy, they’re taking their cues from the right wing think tanks regardless. So they’re picking horses based on who can rile up the base the most. Which gives the selection process the vibe of selecting who’s going to create the most drama, hence attracts a similar sort of grifter.

That sounds like a PR manager wrote the tweet, not Obama himself

Can confirm
