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.
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!
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
americans when confronted with the idea of reading more than two consecutive sentences: google, give me a one sentence summary of the book
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.

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.
Heh
GFD. Got me. Unintentional 67. These damn kids… mumble mumble mumble…
Lol it was my main takeaway in your post discussing anti-intellectualism
