These are quite different.

What you are referencing is more along the lines of ideology, which can act as an indirection. Ideology generally lacks properties of metaphysical objectivity whereas what I'm referencing has actually happened (objectively and in reality).

> It sounds really Althusserian ...

What has happened does follow quite closely to various branches of Marxism, which does make a rational person question if this wasn't intended subversively as an attack, but as I think I mentioned before there's no proof whether it was the reduction of hiring standards, or a subversive cohort effort seeking to undermine the next generation. The simple fact is, when you look at the structure of either, they are effectively the same in that they lead to the same outcomes. They suffer from the same structural flaws so supporting one over the other would only be about supporting whether there was intent, general or specific, the former might be met by negligence. Whatever happens to be the case, it is immaterial to the outcomes which we've seen.

In either case it leads to destruction/annihilation through a process that results in insanity, which is itself quite insane when you consider we live under MAD doctrine, and existentially we, and everyone else, only exist today because the level heads of rational leaders have managed to not engage, and de-escalate close calls related to thermonuclear war.

What becomes likely to happen when you've sufficiently induced psychosis in the people whose hands can push that button seems quite predictable... You don't want insane people controlling your ability to exist.

Given the existential threat, this is why this type of attack would be unthinkable and insanity, and by extension why many of these ideologies based on systems that don't work are often referred to as death cults.

Its not that the sentiment towards providing necessity, and reducing abuse is itself not something to try to make happen, but it has to happen rationally based in external reality and not blindly, the latter which results in those destructive outcomes when you don't recognize the underlying principles and laws which those outcomes are based in.

In many respects, we as a society are in crisis.

The difference between what is said, and what we know to be true has become an abyss. Of all risks, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous, and the death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil; which is the loudest monster that will destroy us all.

This is why it is so important to go back to what we know worked. A Classical trivium based education worked following the pedagogy of Method and reduction to first principled approaches.

The reality of these changes, regardless of how they came about, is that this has dramatically degraded the general populace's ability to think, recognize, comprehend, and solve problems. Its directly tied to education which has been based in torture, and which even the teachers themselves don't seem to have realized.

Western society has been based in a culture of proteanism, rational thought, self-determination, agency, and growth.

What's being indoctrinated is a culture of totalism; total control without flexibility. The latter type of society only ever leads to eventual extinction when they become unable to adapt to the changing circumstances of reality.
