It’s not just about facts: Democrats and Republicans have sharply different attitudes about removing misinformation from social media::One person’s content moderation is another’s censorship when it comes to Democrats’ and Republicans’ views on handling misinformation.

    And who decides what is being taught if this is to be solved with education? That still just falls into the same dogma enforcement that presupposes objective truth especially in political matters. it just turns from censorship to indoctrination of some kind. There can be no real discussion about political matters if it’s presupposed that there is such thing as objective truth in some hard science sense in political discourse, because then every side in an argument from a position of objective truth and there is no way to compromise or approach the other side when everybody are either heretics or believers to your side.

        If we did that, there wouldn’t be any communists left, because they’d realize it has a number of unsolvable problems.

        My personal favorite is theres no mechanism to go from the “tyranny of the proles” stage to the “true communism” stage.

      Teaching critical thinking has absolutely nothing to do with presupposing the existence of objective truth in political matters.
