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.

To that last point - it's not like we were all collectively consulted and had these issues put to a vote, so to speak. Many of these choices were made without our input, and things were just placed in front of us.

Yes unfortunately, what I mean by 'we' is of course the ruling classes and the rich who don't give a flying fuck if they're the only ones left on the planet. Sadly for them they will soon realize that they need other people too in order to survive but it will be already too late then.

In that case, we're in agreement
