No one I know around me can understand the problem with the state intervention in health, education, culture etc. Most of us have received some kind of "aid" from a state institution, so I believe there is a bias for not biting the hand that feeds you .
We're really far from reducing the role of the state in our daily lives, most people have been fully propagandized into believing that we need ever more intervention and if there are problems with the state of affairs it's because there isn't enough intervention!
This socialist system ''educated''people to behave and feel like little pets or slaves. Milei must be a shock for many as the collision with reality terribly hurts.

True that socialist schools are the way to indoctrinate into statism. I wish Milei was on people's mind in the West but I am not convinced he is yet, still a long way to go for libertarian ideas to go mainstream. Where I live people are so in awe for countries giving citizen one-year maternity leave, not realizing that it can only be done by taking 80-90% on people's productivity (i.e., conservative % based on tax rates major countries in the EU)

This is why I despair so much. I speak about the importance of not giving our children over to government schools to be indoctrinated by the state but even folk who profess to be all-in for freedom and talk about reducing the control the state has over us are resistant. What could be less freedom-minded than handing your kids over to strangers to be programmed? Talking about home education or homeschooling triggers and angers a lot of people and I don't know why. I wonder if they're just having a little adult tantrum because deep down it's not something they want to do or are willing to take responsibility of.

No need to despair. If you look at history we are not alone. I have children, grandchildren and no one is doing it all perfect and right. The real peace is inside and the outside is a reflection so it means that we start where we are and not where we want to be. The journey is the destination. All humans act regardless of inaction or action. Same time spent and the same energy expended or wasted.
The lesson everyone will learn is that we are responsible for our actions. Our actions produce results. The results are our ownership. No one can steal your action. This is why Karma (literally work) is so important to serious teachers of spirit and appropriated by scammers who define it as a mystical concept.
Start looking at the meaning of all words we have. Look at the roots. Look at the symbols. The truth is out there and it is resonating inside. Government means mind control. Govern (Gubern < Kubern = steer) and (Ment < mental < mentis = mind). Who's controlling my mind? Me or someone else?

Europe is terrible for that. The other European countries are closely watching what happens in the UK, as that's probably the most free place in Europe to homeschool at the moment. But the UK is not without constant attacks. I know many Europeans who are moving away from the less free places, such as Sweden and Germany, where it is outright illegal. I'm all for that. Don't stay where you are treated badly.

Also some are travelling around and worldschooling, so they go to other European countries for a few months at time, blend in with the tourists and because they are not residents they are left alone.

This is true on paper, but the parallel economy being built right now will reduce the state's role in our daily lives.
