"Influencers," or worse, influencers posing as "professionals" have this really nasty habit of speaking in the most generic, generalized, vague terms possibleโฆ because they want to cast a wide net with their "reach"โฆ and then getting pissy mad when you fill in the blanks THEY LEFT with your own personal experience.
They should follow the dictum for songwriting: the more specific and detailed, the truer it rings.
But hey, we all know they welcome the pushback - and may be DELIBERATELY obtuse - just because it boosts their "numbers" or what the fuck ever.
But goddamn. This is Communication 101 - coming from someone who's autistic! If you REALLY want to CONNECT with people, making massively accusatory statements WITHOUT CLARIFYING DETAILS is a GREAT way to be MISUNDERSTOOD.
But they don't care. It's engagement farming. And I fall for it and get duly yelled at for "projecting" every damn time. WELL WHAT ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH A BLANK SCREEN OTHER THAN PROJECT. HUH? FUCK YOU.

@ilumium A reasonable #BuyEuropean mandate makes absolute sense. The FCC-example (for itโs BuyAmerican counterpart) is NOT reasonable, itโs what you get when you marry incompetence with ideology and corruption and label it as Divine Will.
Just keep rightwing tech-illiterates out of the equation, and things could truly thrive.

"About 11 percent of young citizens of the U.S. couldn't even locate the U.S. on a map. The Pacific Ocean's location was a mystery to 29 percent; Japan, to 58 percent; France, to 65 percent; and the United Kingdom, to 69 percent."

No one should ever take an American seriously.
Americans quite literally have the cognitive capacity of children.

"Some experts contend climate change could influence the behaviour of the polar vortex" - #climatebreakdown is happening. To propose that understanding it as such is somehow contentious shows #illiteracy and we deserve more from our national broadcaster. #MediaTellTheTruth

Marcie Jones quotes an illiterate tweet (redundant to put "illiterate" before "tweet" in his case, I know) in which the man dispensed medical advice about vaccines to parents of small children. Then she responds:
"Do not take medical advice from someone unable to spell 'HEPATITAS,' mkay?"

Half the content online by English-speaking people are functionally illiterate. But yeah, let's call me an asshole for pointing it out. That'll fix it!

"Politics in the age of short form video favours heightened emotion, ignorance and unevidenced assertions. Such circumstances are highly propitious for charismatic charlatans. Inevitably, parties and politicians hostile to democracy are flourishing in the post-literate world."
-
"We may be about to find out that it is not possible to run the most advanced civilisation in the history of the planet with the intellectual apparatus of a pre-literate society. ...
The feudal order seems to be fundamentally incompatible with literacy."
-
"Promoters of irrationality and conspiracy theories such as Candace Owens and Russell Brand find vast and credulous audiences online.
Laid out on the page their arguments would seem absurd. On the screen, they are persuasive to many people.
The rise of these emotional and irrational styles of thinking poses a profound challenge to our culture and politics."
-
"As Walter Ong writes in his book Orality and Literacy, certain kinds of complex and logical thinking simply cannot be achieved without reading and writing. ...
As books die, we seem to be returning to these 'oral' habits of thought. Our discourse is collapsing into panic, hatred and tribal warfare. Anti-scientific thought thrives at the highest level of the American government."
-
"Because ubiquitous mobile internet has destroyed these studentsโ attention spans and restricted the growth of their vocabularies, the rich and detailed knowledge stored in books is becoming inaccessible to many of them. ...
The collapse of reading is driving declines in various measures of cognitive ability."
-
"Most remarkably, in late 2024 the OECD published a report which found that literacy levels were 'declining or stagnating' in most developed countries. Once upon a time a social scientist confronted with statistics like these might have guessed the cause was a societal crisis like a war or the collapse of the education system.
What happened was the smartphoneโฆ."
-
"More than three hundred years after the reading revolution ushered in a new era of human knowledge, books are dying.
Numerous studies show that reading is in free-fall. ...
In America, reading for pleasure has fallen by forty per cent in the last twenty years. In the UK, more than a third of adults say they have given up reading."

"Even if Trump vanished tomorrow, the functional stupidity remains. Tens of millions have permanently surrendered their capacity for thought. Another demagogue would simply inherit this ready-made army of the cognitively capitulated. The infrastructure of oppression is built. The precedents are set. The population is primed."

Via CajunBlueAz @Chrisblue Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social.
The Navy no longer requires a HS diploma or GED and has lowered qualifying scores on entrance exams. It is clear what the objective is here.

Only courts can deal with Thugsin
"The #rally at Victory Monument on Sat to demand resignation of PM #Paetongtarn resembled te " #Bangkok #Shutdown" held in 2014.. The size of the crowd was estimated by #police in the tens of thousands.. bigger than #rallies held by te "3-finger" movement during Prayuth Chan-o-cha.. she's completely #unfit to lead #Thailand as te head of the executive branch bec of her #immaturity, inexperience, #political #illiteracy & lack of knowledge"
