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.

    You say that about “woke” people and lgbt (for some reason), but I’ve seen so many conservatives who can barely put together a sentence.

    What you may be noticing is that younger generations in general are less literate and use way more slang both irl and on the internet, that’s not limited to “woke” people and different sexualities than yours

      Young people always have their own slang and terminology, most of it will fade with time, some words will make their way into common parlance. I think what OP is probably talking about is the way some people talk in almost academic terms these days about social issues like LGBT rights, racial politics, etc that is almost incomprehensible for anyone who didn’t study sociology or choose to read about it for pleasure.
