Read theory, it's literally online for free. Join a reading group. You spend hours doom scrolling on Twitter to no end. All that's gotten you is deep knowledge of every twitter beef between 400 follower nazbols.
Edit: It’s not an issue with the site but online discourse about the left in general. Why are y'all upset about shoeonhead or black hammer or whatever new group of dumbasses is saying some new dumb shit. I'm talking about how every few days lots of leftists are surprised and upset that their fav twitter personality said something really stupid.
I understand what you are saying, but I usually get a better grasp of things if I can see them in practice, or at least in a practical application, before just seeing their treatise. I tried to get into Das Capital without anything else before, and was immediately lost. This seems to be working better for me, so I am just going to continue as I am, but thanks for your input.
