It’s amazing how much these people dry hump the constitution while never actually reading it. It takes like 20 minutes to read and fully understand it. Then you remember the US didn’t have Castro’s literacy program and they have a 79% adult literacy rate
Its lower than 50% functional literacy rate
The average US adult has a literacy level equivalent to a 6th grader
It’s so bad. Even in high school I knew a lot of people who were illiterate 20 years ago, but it’s gotten even worse nowadays. I made sure to teach my young brothers to read before they were a few years old, because school was never going to teach them. I was always a voracious reader, and I think a lot of it comes down to being read to as a child, which made me want to read ASAP. I think the alienated and disaffected parents these days don’t have the energy for that, and so we have entire generations of iPad kids. Don’t get me wrong, I was a gamer kid, but you could only replay Mario World so many times, and so I’d end up reading books, but now the slop is available as a non-stop intravenous drip feed custom tuned to light up your dopamine receptors. Without boredom, people never do anything that challenges them I feel.
Couple that with zero media literacy.
Seriously. The Bill of Rights can be read over one’s lunch break. It ain’t rocket surgery.
rocket surgery? you must be using Alien Intelligence
