I’m not going to say it was your intention, but it reads like “immigrants are lowering the literacy rate”. It’s something I’ve seen too often.

Regardles, from the page you linked:

54% of adults have a literacy below sixth-grade level

That would not be explained by a 13.8 percent of foreign-born residents.

According to researchers, 4 out of 5 Americans 18 and over possess medium to high proficiency in English reading and writing.

The emphasis is because “American” is not the same as “foreign-born resident”.

The word “may” is doing all the heavy lifting here.

That’s why I wrote “try”.

I think the moderation team has been working quite well. I’m 200 comments deep and only two mentions of LGBT.

Honestly, I’m surprised it’s only 50%. They don’t have a cost of living crisis there?

Really depends on where you go. Probably the middle east isn’t a good place to be from the US. But most of the EU will accept and love you if you aren’t loud and try to learn the language.

You won’t know until you’ve tried. Just apply abroad and find out.

Yeah, exact same thing /s

You could try and move to another country…

Let’s see how much talent they lose with that…

Do you have any idea how far I’d have to travel to touch grass?

Literally illiterate?

Probably will find a half pipe somewhere.

I have never seen a swastika on steam… how do you guys find them? I have come across “git gud” idiots and met one single nazi on there. What in the world are you people up to?

instances of Pepe the frog, a meme appropriated by the far right

LOl, get outta here. I use pepe all the time. It’s a friggin’ frog. I won’t let the far right take him away from me. Fuck off.

Stalin was undecided on genocide.

The Enlightened USAmerican that only sees black and white has spoken!

Is that a communist vote or something?

Cut off the nose to spite the face is quite apt here.

Germany is bad new for German business… they don’t need Trump to fuck it up. They are doing so beautifully themselves.

How are people going to be selected for deportation? This feels eerily like what Hitler started doing with Jews.
