You all actually going to believe government propagated data?

Trump is obviously untrustworthy because he keeps saying the quiet part out loud.

The rest of the government obfuscates untrustworthiness and elders love to drag youth as the source of moral decay in our society.

We are generally more educated these days though so "look at them eating avocado toast!" and straight up fear mongering won't cut it:

https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-26328105.amp

So they resort to unfalsifiable data. You all going to put the work in that would be required to refute this?

But if they insist on playing this game, OK:

The data cited are international organizations so they are generally pretty trustworthy. However looking at the data tells a very different story from what this professor is claiming. They are averaging all countries regardless of context. Including countries at war, countries who have inconsistent data, etc. Not to mention all the different educational systems. Looking at each country though the results are fairly consistent from 2000 to 2022.

I agree the model is poorly constructed, which is why I concluded American leaders are looking to spread whatever narrative they can to deflect from their own agenda and incompetence.
