      Maybe it is 😔 guess I should just wait for the liberal ideology to finally trickle down after 50 years

      Rich westerners with access to all the treasures of the world’s literature, freely available, seconds away: “I can’t be bothered to read”.

      WW1 soldiers suffering from the most brutal war in history:

      We came down to the front of the Twelfth Army, back of Riga, where gaunt and bootless men sickened in the mud of desperate trenches; and when they saw us they started up, with their pinched faces and the flesh showing blue through their torn clothing, demanding eagerly, “Did you bring anything to read?”

        To be empathetic to them, our schools fucking suck, they teach most people to hate reading really, it’s ingenious of the ruling class, teach your population to read but make it so torturous in school that the majority won’t use it to educate or even entertain themselves

        Yep, I really wish we could be like the US or the EU, and have the largest manufacturing economy in the world, and the biggest economy by PPP.

        Oh wait – that’s China.
