OK. I'm about to read the #1776Report. I'll see you in Hell.

When a student's essay starts with a word jumble that says absolutely nothing, I know I'm about to have a bad time.
Our purpose is to provide easily regurgitated propaganda that prevents any need for critical thinking.
Hit 'em right off the bat with the positivist bullshit! Any competent historian will smell it on the first page.
Just read the words! You don't need to know the context. In fact, we'd strongly prefer if you never placed any historical facts into context.
"These wrongs have always met resistance from the clear principles of the nation."

What?
In 1857, the Supreme Court ruled that Black people were not legally people, but OK.

All these idiots know is buzzwords.
"America is unique because it has a birthday"

My God, this is some low-grade idiocy.

I'm still on PAGE TWO.
"OK techically what we just said is blatantly false, but let me explain: America is special because literally nothing existed before white people got here. What? Native Americans? You're goddamn right I'm a native American! I was born in Alabama!"
I have a headache.
The guy who wrote the thing owned people, including his own children.
I'm OK. I'm fine. I have random nosebleeds all the time. No cause for alarm.
"We had to say this because our leader is a fucking idiot and we all know it."

The lack of self-awareness here is...
My left eye won't stop twitching.
"Our super special country is super special because it said all men are created equal. Slavery doesn't count because everybody did it."
Can I please stop?

This is what it says about American involvement in World War II. This is *all* it says.
@BadSocialisms
Any questioning of American exceptionalism is leftover communist propaganda.
I swear to God, if I ever meet anyone involved with creating this disgusting piece of shit garbage love letter to white supremacy
Reminder that they released this piece of shit on Martin Luther King Day.
Hey, at least we finally have a state-sponsored fascist manifesto that's already written in English.
Oh, trust me, we're going to use this piece of shit to teach our students the truth about America. I promise.
"Teaching anything other than rote memorization of nationalist propaganda..."

DISHONORS? These motherfuckers really said "dishonors the family" Are you fucking serious?
Fuck you, you goddamn braindead idiotic hypocrtical oblivious anti-intellectual shitbrained flag humpers.
Anybody who feels "pride and gratitude" at "an accurate history of our country" is a goddamn psychopath.
This is the only mention of indigenous people in this entire thing.
Remember, it's identity politics unless you're a white protestant nationalist!
Fuck. You.
"Critical thinking is indoctrination. Placing information in context is indoctrination. Actual indoctrination is education."

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”

Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?

A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:


2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to

- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal

3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:

Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.

Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.

4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?

To get clarity.

You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.

It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”

Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.
