Oh. Right. People in the US can barely read and lack critical thinking skills.... Fuck.
What kind of critical thinking skills do you really need to understand the phrase, "The President of the United States is a pedophile?" You don't even need to read it, either, you can just hear someone say it.
We need to get past the rape, it is murder of small girls not "just" rape. Every one of them who got too bruised to sell or started complaining are not here to be a victim in court.
You need critical thinking skills to care more about the president being a pedo than about pwning the other political side.
But it's not that people lack critical thinking skills, it's that they blithey bypass them for a whole host of reasons.
The problem on the left is they think rational arguments win fights. They don't. Emotional arguments, world building, identity, etc, win fights.
The second problem left is that the best emotional argument we have--the rich want to eat us all--endangers the Democratic Party's funding.
bruv, it's soo bad, you can tell an アメコ: “Trump raped your kids!” ⅓ will look at you “So?” The other ⅓: “So let's vote him out!!” And being 1/1M, I’ve been saying: “When are we overthrowing these ⅔s‽”
They are absolutely politically illiterate.
Did your auto-correct change "MAGA" to kanji? What?
«Ameko» is a purposeful derogatory, meant to insult a demographic.
that has nothing to do with the epstein files. being able to read does not turn people into good people. and being able to think critically doesn't do it either.
I beg to differ. Literacy and critical thinking are core to morality. It's why the capital class is so bent on us not having education beyond the parochial.
