  • It’s not a question of “Can you read the book?” It is a question of, “Did you extract information from the book? Can you connect the dots asked in the question based on the information that you read?” Lots of people who identify themselves as literate have a lot of difficulty doing these kinds of things.

    I’m really sorry if this comes across as a TL;DR, but there’s a name for that. I’m positive you already know, but for the benefit of those interested, it’s called “functional illiteracy.” And it’s wild, still blows my mind to this day. Like, if you’re functionally illiterate, that doesn’t mean you don’t know how to read…it means you can read but can’t understand language written beyond the basic level. There are a lot of variables involved and I’m oversimplying a lot, but that’s it in a nutshell. It’s fucking terrifying, to be honest, especially because it’s so widespread.

    Read to your kids, folks! And talk to them about it afterwards!




  • Not like it matters since you’re a tankie and all you want to do is sow discord by shitting on the “libs” and the west," but the rebuilding of Lahaina threatens to permanently displace everyone who lives there, and not just the 10% of the residents who happen to be indigenous. Do you know anything about the place you’re using to push pro-Russian (and, ironically, its denial of genocide when committed by communist countries) propaganda? Lahaina is full of poor people, you ignorant fuck. The entire town of the 13,000 is not only poor, but JFC, they are now homeless and mostly jobless because the fire destroyed everything. That town is totally fucked, man, and you’re using its suffering to rile up and disenfranchise more people for your pro-Russia bullshit? Fuck off.

    Like I said, you don’t give a fuck about the people who live there, and you certainly don’t give a fuck about actual genocide - especially genocide that is happening right now. So get fucked and go post your fascist recruitment garbage elsewhere. And tell your Hexblyat buddies they can go eat shit too.
