Just as the title asks I’ve noticed a very sharp increase in people just straight up not comprehending what they’re reading.

They’ll read it and despite all the information being there, if it’s even slightly out of line from the most straightforward sentence structure, they act like it’s complete gibberish or indecipherable.

Has anyone else noticed this? Because honestly it’s making me lose my fucking mind.

    The idiots in Idiocracy were aware of their own stupidity, and when they found someone smarter than everyone else, the idiots in power immediately stepped down and put him in charge of solving their most critical problems.

    The idiots IRL think they’re geniuses, and when the idiots in power find someone smarter than themselves, they run a smear campaign and/or incite violence against that person.

    We’d be fucking lucky to get the future depicted by Idiocracy. Where we’re headed is much, much darker.
