That's why in matters of redress, I always skew towards visibility over modification. The latter is too powerful, in the hands of too few.

I've had this same argument with military friends lamenting the prevalence of ex-military citizens among right wing nationalist groups. IMHO, "make people attend classes to fight indoctrination" is too easily repurposed by a future administration to do the exact opposite.

Agreed. Well, critical thinking classes might be a good idea! Just spoken word Carl Sagan's Baloney Detection Kit on repeat for 8 hours a day.

I hadn't ever listened to that. Queued! Potential downside: no one could unhear "billions"
