Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

"I know what corpus christi is: it's in the 1st amendment!"

He immediately followed this up by talking about how he picked up some legal knowledge while growing up from his mother who worked for a local politician.

The consitution itself is the slave owners' compromise to the bourgoisie and petty-bourgoisie; let the liberals and fascists duke out how faithful they are to it between themselves.

It's amazing how much these people dry hump the constitution while never actually reading it. It takes like 20 minutes to read and fully understand it. Then you remember the US didn't have Castro's literacy program and they have a 79% adult literacy rate agony-deep

Its lower than 50% functional literacy rate

The average US adult has a literacy level equivalent to a 6th grader

It’s so bad. Even in high school I knew a lot of people who were illiterate 20 years ago, but it’s gotten even worse nowadays. I made sure to teach my young brothers to read before they were a few years old, because school was never going to teach them. I was always a voracious reader, and I think a lot of it comes down to being read to as a child, which made me want to read ASAP. I think the alienated and disaffected parents these days don’t have the energy for that, and so we have entire generations of iPad kids. Don’t get me wrong, I was a gamer kid, but you could only replay Mario World so many times, and so I’d end up reading books, but now the slop is available as a non-stop intravenous drip feed custom tuned to light up your dopamine receptors. Without boredom, people never do anything that challenges them I feel.

Couple that with zero media literacy.

Seriously. The Bill of Rights can be read over one’s lunch break. It ain’t rocket surgery.

probably that family member thinks that people working at the government are parasites or political aides are corrupt, but thinks its mother it's different

Without getting into self-doxxing territory, his connections through his mother made it so one of the city's mayors was a close family friend of his. This mayor is regarded by non-chuds as the most racist and evil person to ever hold the seat and was basically a fascist dictator ruling the city with an iron fist; my family member maintains that he wasn't racist at all and was actually a great guy.

Habeas Corpus Christi: Present the body of Christ

Are they trying to mock Christ with such meagre amount of gold there?

[–] umberecho@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 3 days ago

I think the collective noun for that amount is "an unchristliness of gold".
