    Some people didn’t have an opportunity to learn in the first place. Lack of education doesn’t make someone “fucking NUTS”.

      I think they meant a quarter of the population being illiterate, that is, that fact that such a statistic exists, is “fucking nuts,” not the illiterate population themselves.

        Lemmy and Reddit are proof that the other three quarters have fucking appalling reading comprehension too 😂

        Well he proceeded it by saying that they don’t “like” to read, implying that this is a choice on their part.

          Not at all the way I read it, but I can see your thought train

          Hence it being a question. I wasn’t aware that access to learning to read wasn’t easily available.

          Stats on illiterate by choice vs socioeconomic standing would be very interesting
