If these people are so dumb and easily manipulated, why dont you misinformation them to do the right thing?

Unfortunately, trying to set up this particular "rage bait" is also ignorant and uneducated. The numbers we use are derived from Arabic numerals. But modern Arabic numerals does not look like the ones we use in the Latin Alphabet. They can also change a bit depending on which arabic country you're in.

If you're an average "westerner" you probably don't know what modern arabic numerals look like. And learning them would be required to know which symbol means what.

That being said. Teaching children that different children across the world have different symbols for things is still a good thing to teach them. While also teaching them there are other systems than our base 10 system. Such as the Duodecimal system.

Just an FYI, it originated in India. It's called Arabic because it was introduced to Europe via the Arabs, however, both of the numeral system that are widely used in the Arab world came from India.

This is always how it starts, then these terrorist camps will teach children how to READ. Can you imagine a society full of these people? The end is nigh, please save us president Trump.

Mamdami is forcing children to participate in a heinous Islamic ritual called Al-gebra. It's like, demonic spells or something.

After 2016 I spent a lot of time on reddit talking to Trump voters to understand why.

Overwhelmingly they believe things that aren't true. Basic misconceptions of the world cascading in on one another culminating into the stupidest vote of their life.

One guy thought Obama was a vain man because he named his healthcare plan Obamacare. When I told him the healthcare plan was called the Affordable Care Act, and that Republicans and the media called it Obamacare as a way to hurt it, his brain couldn't process it because why would the media parrot Republican talking points if they were all biased towards Democrats?

You can understand how this individual would make this mistake. He pays just enough attention to be misinformed. Three generations of right-wing propaganda, the world's most disciplined messaging machine repeating the same lies and half-truths have absolutely run roughshod over this type of person.

I know right wingers in general are thick, but Americans really do seem to take it to a new level the dull witted.

I'm sure that IC% of them wouldn't even recognise the joke.

ERIKA has been celebrating everyday how rich she is becoming. she went through several personas, looking like kennith copeland, a demon, her eyes souless like a dolls eyes, going a WWE celebratory style funeral, and her sonya blade skin.

My only gripe is that we can't determine whether it's Arabic numerals or Hindu numerals. It's more correct to say Arabic-Hindu numerals.

I refuse arabic numbers. What the fuck is 2? 7? 9??? These are all made up concepts invented to corrupt the mind of people.

Look at how elegant these look instead: 10, 111, 1001.

One of my favourite conspiracies is that academic spaces are overwhelmingly left-leaning.

Years ago a German satire show interviewed random people on the street. They asked them what they think about the fact that "children are now forced to learn arabic numbers in German Schools". The interviewers flawlessly baited a bunch of idiots into exposing their mindless xenophobia on TV

Is she being ironic or really didn't actually know? It's hard to know if attention-economy people do gimmicky things for attention or really are that... uh... unaware of things?

Excuse me.. all the links above use Arabic numbers: they are unreliable.

Thank you for your attention to this matter

Dear God. It's real. Isn't it?

AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF SCIENTIFIC STUDIES PROVE DEFINITIVELY THAT RIGHT WING BELIEFS ARE HEAVILY CORRELATED WITH LOW INTELLIGENCE:

AKA dumb and ignorant people believe more lies. Trump loves the uneducated.

I bet he’s not even talking about the real classical symbols but the new woke version!
