Functional illiteracy, they can read the words but not necessarily understand the full meaning of the paragraph. I do know one lady who is totally illiterate and has her grandkids read her mail to her, but she's ~90 and at least knows arithmetic.

This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
