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.

  • I get it, not everyone's as obsessive as me about this, but I think you'd find it really interesting...

  • I don't know shit about X probably, I mean I kind of think I know enough not to be totally ignorant I hope, but if I was going to talk about it to more people I'd have to read about it too
