This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

I feel like there's a joke about planned obsolescence in there. ๐Ÿค”

There's actually illiterate people in America? Wow, I need to expand my social circle or something

I know plenty, including family members.

Functional illiteracy, they can read the words but not necessarily understand the full meaning of the paragraph. I do know one lady who is totally illiterate and has her grandkids read her mail to her, but she's ~90 and at least knows arithmetic.

I'm morbidly curious to see if the Chinese ministry has stats on national literacy of English, and if it's up in the 50s.

But at what cost?

I'm not sure if I get that correctly but are you making fun of people protesting against homelessness? Besides: I'm not a native speak but the sign seems totally fine to me and the message totally valid.

Does anyone think of the poor old GOP? The GOP needs stupid, illiterate people! Who else is going to vote for them if people got smarter and better educated?

[โ€“] comfy@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

The Dems sure weren't thinking of the poor old GOP in the 42 years they simultaneously held both reps and senate in that era (58% of 72 years). The system needs stupid, illiterate people to tolerate it.
