How do you get it through people's heads that you're not calling them unintelligent, youre calling them uneducated on a particular subject? (hexbear.net)

I'm noticing a lot of people taking "you should read more about this, here are some book recommendations" as insulting their intelligence.

This is relevant because most USians lack a political education.

If it's in anyway confrontational it's a safe bet you're not gonna get through to them. You kinda just gotta let them be wrong and then be like, "oh dude you'd love (insert book movie, etc here)"
