like it feels like the only way out of this spiral into mass servile proud illiteracy in the imperial core is that, for the third qualifier, ego injury might push people into learning out of spite. I don't know. What can you even say to people who don't understand how to parse what you are saying, and then get mad at you about it?

Am I overreacting? Is this too blackpilled? It genuinely seems like this is a very dark potent, especially at this nexus of heightened contradictions

I can't determine if you're overreacting or not without more context, but I imagine that you probably are not overreacting. I was just talking with a friend about how the owners of the West's best weapon on their side is stupidity. Stupid people self-oppress, and do oppression on others readily, on command. Stupid people don't have the capacity to do empathy, to plan ahead, or to see chain-consequences further away than one or two links. And the bourgeoisie controls education, so I really don't know how we address it on this side of revolution

The bourgeoisie control "compulsory education" and "higher education," but they do not and cannot control "education" writ-large. It is also in our power to educate people, and if we don't use that power then we have nothing, and that's not something uniquely true of socialists in America.
