Like, in a practical sense? Do you have any stories or examples from your life?
My mom once stated in a FB post that socialism was evil, when I asked her to elucidate “It just is!”
It means they are easily propagandized to and won’t have the critical reading skills to realize it
It means they have a difficult time parsing Parenti quotes. They can read it aloud, and they can tell you roughly what it’s about, but they have difficulty following and comprehending the argument being made.
That clip of that Kik Streamer fascist Aiden Ross trying to whole-word-read “fascist” and then googling the meaning and then still being puzzled why someone would call Trump that.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Once, Andrew Tate asked him questions about World War II. I could maybe forgive someone for not knowing that de Gaulle was the leader of France, but the only leader of the major Allies/Axis Powers he knew was Hitler. When asked who the leader of Russia was, he said “I’m guessing Putin’s father or grandfather”.
Putin’s grandpa, Spiridon Ivanovich Putin, was Lenin’s and Stalin’s cook for some time, an we all know cooks really rule the world.
When asked who the leader of Russia was, he said “I’m guessing Putin’s father or grandfather”.
That sounds like a bit.

Sometimes you have to be brought back to reality and realize that the vast, vast majority of USAmericans have not grappled with materialism, thus nearly all the connections they make are like a 6th grader writing out their 5 paragraph essay for the high stakes exam that determines if their school gets funding or not.
US self made brain drain is going to hit the country like a comically large boomerang, it already has essentially.
Yeah, even if a person gets an undergrad degree they still have the capitalist brainworms unless they poison them with theory. Reading and writing education in the US is so formulaic as to be worthless. People are taught to follow a small set of rules and if they don’t follow the rules, they fail. They are not expected to think. Even so, many people refuse to read or write anything, either paying others to do it for them or just turning in some AI slop without taking a single look at it.
How has it or will it impact the US? With America’s money can’t they just attract immigrant intellectual labour with high salaries?
Yes and no. We used to actively court immigrant intellectuals, now we’re accusing every Chinese intellectual of espionage and frothing at the mouth to deport anyone darker than freshly fallen snow. People with advanced degrees see what’s happening in the US and are choosing to go elsewhere.

To where?
