I know a guy who used to be a conservative, until he went to college. It wasn't "woke professors" that change him to a liberal, it was being in an actual city instead of the small town he grew up in.
Meeting more diverse people made him realize he was fed lies about others while growing up.
So yeah, if you ever wondered why the right wants to shut down education and universities, that's one reason.

@rasterweb That's what happened to me, too. I wasn't in an actual city of any size, but being exposed to different people and viewpoints changed my own.

He also told me he still reads Fox News, but with a critical eye, and so he can easily counter things his conservative friends (and family) tell him.
I remember him telling me that, and occasionally look at Fox News to see how they see things.
Here's an interesting one full of scary buzzwords like "Socialism" and "Communists".

@rasterweb Also why people need to travel, and not on cruise ships and to all inclusive toddler pens.

We also learn that an Airtable spreadsheet is "a sophisticated tracking database" used by "far left agitators"...

Small city fifty kilometers south of Buenos Aires here. Being an university town is the only thing that keeps us from utter right-wing idiocy. We're also where queers come to get out of their closets. Conservative nightmare.

Public libraries, too. They represent the best of America society.

@APBBlue @rasterweb Same here. I went from a small town to graduate school in Chicago. A diverse community and wonderful ethnic food made me into a proud bleeding heart socialist.

@Pepperbike @rasterweb I just turned into your average normie Democrat, but my mom thinks I'm a bleeding heart socialist (and probably wishes I hadn't gone to college.)

@rasterweb Only favoriting this because I’m happy for them to realize there is much more to this world than what you’re told 🩷
Otherwise, it’s not a good thing when you have a group of people trying to stop others from learning, no matter what their excuse is
