minus-squarequeermunist she/her@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down2·6 months agoI wouldn’t really describe corrupt officials and lackeys of exploitative multinational corporations as “politically illiterate”? They’re kind of the ones who run the world. Sometimes they’re illiterate, and somethings they’re Machiavellian freaks.
