there are a ton of people who are functionally illiterate. I watched Adin Ross struggle to read aloud the short google definition of fascism and immediately gave up and said he didn’t know what fascism was AFTER reading the definition… i’ve debated with people who just repeat the same things over & over after i present a flaw in their logic or their arguments… it’s wild.
We can also talk about the people who are just illiterate. Fully excluding children and teens, there are waaaay too many people in the south who cannot read and/or write. And it’s sad. People did not care to foster a child’s education enough that these people are aging without the skills necessary for our advancing world.
