This is because there are more people and literacy rate is up but the percentage of the population who are educated on basic topics is down. Back then they had nothing to do but read.

We are losing because we are not fighting efficiently or intelligently. We are limited by our conditioning that prevents us from thinking outside the system. We have to break our conditioning through the accumulation of knowledge i.e redpills.
