MODERATORS
No they aren't. There are just more idiots in the us because it has a larger population. Here in germany there are a ton of idots too (AFD voters (extreme right))
the americans are generally less literate though. germany's self-reported 99% literacy rate is quite a bit higher than the us's self-reported 92% literacy
(the AFD is of course awful)
A literate person has better opportunity to learn ethics and good thinking habits, but they also have better opportunity to confirm their own biases and be manipulated by grifters. It is kind of a wash when it comes to being a good person or not if the rest of the education system doesn't actually educate.
