    I honestly wonder if that was actually real, if he actually read those books. I see this more likely as a literary device to say that these books are useless and those that read them, like I did when I was stupid, have corrupt motivations.

      The dude is well read, I don't think that it's a lie that he read those authors.

      Their use as a literary device is spot on though.

        It's actually a good reminder that being educated in radical matters is horseshit in itself without some kind of praxis (cue Kamala's dad and Buttigieg Sr...)
