I don't know what either person is saying or what side of what argument anyone is on
1: Here's a quote, no context
2: I understand it, you don't.
1: I don't understand it? How do I understand it?
2: Basically repeats the quote
1: Uh yeah I understand it.
2: I understand it and you don't.
And now here we can have the meta discussion:
1: Here's a Twitter thread, no context
2: I understand it, you don't.
Here's the meta meta discussion:

Here is the argument starter.
This gets called privileged and therefore this argument. It is intensely nothing.
That's why the source is added for the context.
I read the source and still kind of get the sense that every person in the thread is obnoxious and doesn't demonstrate an understanding of the quote. Who are these people?
It starts with this
A stance he gets called privileged for, which becomes the argument in the OP.
I absolutely cannot give a fuck about either side of this.
Now I'm more confused why this person shared a quote from a Marx of all people.
Because he's a marxist (I'm not gonna look into his actual credentials, this is already aggressively uninteresting). He's saying there's more to life than politics, citing Marx speaking of the importance of enriching your life.
Thanks for the explanation! Couldn't tell if he was thinking the quote promoted the grind set or not.
Lmao, he's not. He completely bastardized Marx's theory of alienation as if politics is not part of other human experiences.
It is not worth arguing about, so I'm not gonna do it.
Oh I see. The top of the thread says "This author has chosen to make their posts visible only to people who are signed in" so I missed it. Thanks for clarifying!
