This starts in school with awards for perfect attendance
Starts with people boot licking authority for no reason because they lack the thinking capacity to realise it's entirely unnecessary. It's fucked that children are still taught to mindlessly obey authority. It conditions a conformist society that accepts injustice.
At high school I had 93% attendance over 5 years and had times I got fucking home visits for being off, all the meanwhile I got the best grades for the entire year also doing additional maths I learned myself in about a month from just reading in lesson. School in general honestly just pissed me off with how inefficient it was. A lot of days are really just 'busy work'. There is absolutely no reason high school (UK) should be 5 years and not less.
