There has been an anti-intellectual movement in the USA, being groomed 
for several decades now, and it is coming to fruition. Science, 
expertise, and critical thinking are viewed with suspicion, and even as 
satanic. In this state, facts no longer matter, and you can pour 
literally any idea into people's heads. I think the idea was, "Keep 'em 
stupid, and they'll vote for us."

The anti-intellectual dupes are a minority, less than 30%, but with a 
contagion like COVID-19, we need *everybody* to do their part, and the 
dupes are so pumped up with hyper-individualism that they can't see that 
they are killing everyone--or they don't care. (Hypocritically, these 
exact same people are happy to abandon individualism when it comes to 
forcing their religion on other people.)

One might think that this anti-intellectual project has been a failure. 
Alas, the well being of society has not been their goal; it has been to 
suck ever more money out of the workers, and in this respect it has been 
a spectacular success. The deaths of hundreds of thousands is not a 
problem; they have their money. And the dupes walk right up to the 
slaughter.

America is being dismantled before our eyes, all in the guise of saving 
it. As a German, this should scare the shit out of you.
