    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!
