I’m not sure what the phrase “fake outrage” would actually mean, but the outrage I feel seems pretty real to me.

    The average American is shockingly poorly educated. There‘s no process of coming to terms with the past, e.g. when it comes to the genocide of Native Americans. Our students during our exchange with a Wisconsin High School noticed that they had done maths stuff in year six, the Americans were doing in year 9. Critical thinking and complex topics our students learn at school in year 11-13 are outsourced to university undergraduate education and thus limited to actual university students. It‘s shocking to see that there‘s a caste of priviledged entrepeneurs leading the way followed by millions of hard-working Americans still believing in the propaganda of the American Dream where they beat themselves up because they hold themselves at fault for a lack of social climbing while having three jobs.

      the propaganda of the American Dream

      It’s the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it. :/
