Boring fact: The highest pass he'll have to cross on his journey looks like this:

If he'll have to be rescued, then because someone ran him over.

That voter is gonna learn some stuff.

I was not surprised by the presence of a giant cross necklace.

He can't read, so that makes sense.

How does he use IG?

Assuming its not a parody.

You'd be surprised how functional the illiterate can be.

When I first moved to Japan, I had to use lots of websites that used untranslatable images (not text, like png or whatever and google lens was not a thing). I got help a few times and memorized what clicking on an area did more than even what the image was (which would change sometimes). This is how I got by with ATMs and various websites for quite a while. It works until something changes. Today, screen readers, google lens, and other things exist to help as well.

Yeah, just look at Trump. Functional illiteracy is a real thing in the US.

Does someone have a link to this specific persons ig? That would be great, thanks.

I'm not great at this, but from the original x post, I think his handle is @jaayfilms

The news report video says he dropped out of HS. I couldn't find where he got that he's illiterate, thought this would take two weeks and didn't know about the mountains... But I honestly didn't dig much after haha. If someone else finds it, please let me know. I just want to read that comment thread haha
