    Don’t get me started.

    A while back I asked someone here why “Tax The Rich!” wasn’t enough to rally people. They explained, in infinite detail, that only after the people were educated in Marxist doctrine could true change occur.

      Yeah, seen a fair bit of that. Folks giving out homework assignments instead of engaging simply. And good luck if you largely agree with them but disagree on any bit of it.

        theory

        I detest when a niche group tries to use a general term to refer to their specific thing. Like being in “the industry” or “the community”.

        “You have to read up on theory

        And I’m a total believer in ideas that are complex enough that you need a book to understand them, to be clear. But that could never mean anything to the masses, firstly. And secondly, that’s still no need to get pretentious about it. Theory. Smdh
