    I’m pretty sure that as stupid as most Amerikkkans are, they know that China is extremely far away from the U.S.

    They just don’t care, they want the whole world to bow down and bend over to the Amerikkkan Empire

      Well they also talk about it as “The Indo-Pacific” and a lot of Americans probably assume thats like Hawaii/California area not indonesia and japan. Cuz they hear pacific and thats what they think of first.

        I really fucking hope that most Amerikkkans aren’t that fucking stupid.

        Even if I wasn’t a marxist and just like an “average” neoliberal, my mind would automatically think Japan or China, before anywhere near California. I would think that the U.S. should have comparatively little business in the Pacific.

        I’m aware the California’s coast is the Pacific, but I wouldn’t consider that to be the Pacific Heartland.

        I’m kind of glad I graduated high-school in the mid 2010’s, right before the Reich-Wing further escalated it’s war on even the shit education system.

            It is worse than just high schoolers. I have heard many people in the US speak and act in such a way to make you feel ashamed for them. Most Americans do not read at all. You can go in many homes and see less than 10 books, talk to children who have never gone to the library. The issue is that the problem is cyclical, if an individual has not improved themselves through literacy it will be even more difficult for their children to.

              Yeah very true. Im studying higher level math from textbooks my grandfather bought in the 1950s lol. Algebra, Trig, Calculus, Differential Equations, etc. If i didnt have those books sitting gathering dust since he died 15 years ago id have had to buy them all myself and that wouldnt be cheap.

            Yeah, it’s extremely unfortunate, anger-inducing and heartbreaking. It will take generations to even somewhat heal from this.

            The U.S. is doomed.
