I agree the schools are trash, but I think you have to hit the media first. The media, as you perfectly put it:

> They can turn most of the population against you with a single news report.

Until that goes, I don't see how anything can meaningfully change.

I think if you have a population dumb enough to be swayed by the media then fixing the media may not be the best priority.

Aside from that if you destroy the current media you may just be creating a vacuum for something worse to enter and inhabit.

It’s what Hitler and Goebbels did though. If you realize most people are lemmings you just have to get ahead of the messaging. There’s a good quote somewhere along the lines of "we‘ll show you how propaganda looks when it’s done right, and how the people will react!"

> most people are lemmings

hitler battled with this as written in Mein Kampf. to paraphrase: if all the lemmings are worthy of belonging to a great people, then it's very difficult to defend the sacrifice of so many good men in the service of such easily-swayed rabble, and if all the lemmings are not worthy, then there's barely anyone left to even call a people.

of course though both then and today the solution is to just be the good shepherd. "sheep" isn't an insult, it's just a state of being that most people partake in, and it's up to the shepherd and a few loyal herding dogs to keep them happy, productive, and safe from the wolves. not every man can be his own leader.

I get what you're saying, but I think we have to deal with the people we have, not the ones we wished we had.

I don't care that they're busy just trying to make their lives work in a hostile and unnatural world, so they don't investigate every news item... We still need to fix the situation and they're still out people.
