They were hemming and hawing over the morality of it to me and I was like "I feel like the psychic effects of working there would destroy you, no?" They have actually read some theory and I think consider themselves a leftist. Very funny stuff. Anyway, they didn't get the job for non-political reasons (insufficient microsoft outlook experience presumably). Sorry to use hexbear for gossip, my 'apolitical' friends wouldn't understand why this is funny and my leftist friends would think less of me.
I feel like I spent years "reading theory" before I really actually started to understand shit. Being sympathetic to the message is important but even then there is so much deprogramming from liberalism that needs to be done. So many given truths in western society that need to be challenged and unlearned. Reading some books is not going to change you world view if you don't even understand how your worldview is formed and what inputs feed it most directly.
