      most Americans experience with reading is a bunch of incomprehensible books about centuries-old conflicts

      Maybe we should be putting theory in plain, modern language instead of directing people to read Lenin's dunks on obscure European leftists who've been dead a century.

          Wordsworth especially is terrible we had to read a three page poem he wrote about a time he was scared by a rock. It was the opening to a five book series about the same incident

        No that can't be it. We should double down and reference to the extreme obscure internet arguments.

        Seriously though if I'm reading theory and it starts trying to roast some random fucking guy no one has ever heard of I just skip it. If I wanted centuries old arguments over nothing I would get more involved in my families arguments
