americans when confronted with the idea of reading more than two consecutive sentences: google, give me a one sentence summary of the book
I can’t even with these motherfuckers anymore. It’s a 67-page book in 18 point font, Jonathan! It’ll take you like 45 minutes to read at most. You’ve spent more time complaining about it than it would have taken you to just read the fucking thing.
“I’ll just have Grok summarize it for me.”
People won’t read. You can link them audiobooks, you can give them the physical fucking book, and they won’t out of principal. Its not because they can’t, its because they think reading theory is bad. Anti intellectualism has won
I’m not even trying to get people to read Marx or Graeber. I’m just trying to get people to read anything at all. It’s not that they won’t read theory. It’s that they just refuse to read anything at all unless it comes through twitter or tik tok. They look at books like they’re used band-aids. It’s fucking wild to me.
At this point I literally don’t give a shit about “theory.” Just read a fucking book!
everyone is 12 and doesnt want to do their homework
67
Heh
GFD. Got me. Unintentional 67. These damn kids… mumble mumble mumble…
Lol it was my main takeaway in your post discussing anti-intellectualism
This book absolutely sucks to read.
GFD Jonathan! I know it sucks! You could have read it already though and Ms. Virgilio wouldn’t give us extra homework! GAAAAH! You always DO this! I wish I was never born! GAAAAAAAH!
Ahh being a teenager again. Nah… I’m good. That shit sucked. XDXDXDXD
Much love homey. No shade.
I’ve tried to read it twice on planes and cannot get through it.
Jonathan! Why are you on two planes?! You’re supposed to be in class! Please see me after class. I want to talk about your grades.
Its not just Americans. I live in Ireland, I tell people to read theory and they literally tell me “no you summarize the ENTIRE FUCKING BOOK”
Like there are often graphs and shit in the books. Its literally impossible to summarize. Anti-itellectualism has taken over the west.
The first step to building any successful vanguard party is to forcefem your most critical members
Lenin didn’t even met Stalin until 1905
I also haven’t met most of the party members i will forcefem
Fair. It will also make mandatory catgirl gene therapy easier.
What Is To Be Done? - V.I. Lenin
Reflecting on the 19th century strikes, we must inject estrogen and forcefem the reactionaries, workers as well as our own party members to further advance the ideological formation of the proletariat!
A modest suggestion
