Shirley Wong isn’t much of a critical thinker, it seems.

She seems pretty critical of immigrants, does that count?

For her, it's just who ever most recently said a thing she liked vs who who ever is in charge and can be blamed for all the things she doesn't like. She's probably never met a government official she couldn't blame for a cloud blocking her sunlight, and never met a politician that lies if the things they're saying sound nice.

PS. That's not aimed at Mamdani, just Shirley Wong and those who behave like her.

It's almost like conservatives have spent decades chipping away at education specifically so that people wouldn't have critical thinking skills and could be treated like cattle.

She's 70 so it would have to have happened 50+ years ago to have an effect here

I mean, the Department of Education didn't exist 50 years ago so 🤷

More likely she grew up in an environment where this type of thinking was normalized, and to think otherwise was met with social consequences. Outside of a few breakout individuals, most have to be taught early not to take what they're told for granted.
