I don't understand, if your whole handle is based on hating a left-wing instance, why are you calling for the deaths of zionists?

he lives on 90 acres, he's living in a camper as a choice because he thinks it's fun and aesthetic. Both before and after this song came out he could afford a 5,000 sq. ft. home

Wow, more than a billion! Remind me again, how much does one single Lockheed Martin F-35 cost? How much money did the NYPD cost in police misconduct settlements year? And how much did the pentagon just lose last time it was audited?

Harmful ideas should be downvoted and repressed even if they took effort to type out, actually

I hate to rain on y'all's parade, but the US measure of literacy is much more stringent than China's. America is counting literacy as the ability to use print materials like brochures and manuals fluently, the rest of the world just bases literacy on the ability to read a handful of test sentences in a controlled testing context. That's the reason that America appears to have gone down as well, they switched literacy measures. The 79% measure is people who are "at or below level 1 literacy", meaning it counts people who met level 1, people who didn't meet level 1, and people who couldn't even take the test at all because of a language barrier or disability. https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2019/2019179.pdf

I'm all for dunking on America but the apples to apples here would be comparing America's 96% (just excluding those below level 1) to China's 97%. Historical materialism requires a true material basis to work.

You'd like Marxism. The whole point is that Capitalism is our dominant ideology because it was more efficient than feudalism, but now e have the tools to build a system more efficient than capitalism and we should build that instead. Capitalism is the most efficient system we've built so far, but it's very obviously not the most efficient system we can build.
