    first paragraph

    Come on, it's not like that. I got limited time and energy. I'd rather prioritize things I'm interested in.

    second paragraph

    Right

      It sounds like it is because you shit on it and implied it's woke radlib shit. It's not even a hard book to get through, man.

        Well that is my impression of it which is why I don't plan on prioritizing it.

        Look, I just opened up a pdf of it and it seems more Maoist and less radlib than I expected, which is still not my thing but I feel like I might get something out of it. I might read it eventually, but I'm very lazy for reading so it's not likely I'll get there. This quar I only got through like four books in all the time I've been stuck at home, and none of them were very long or hard. I'm sorry I was a jerk when you were so nice to me, that was uncalled for.

          I mean, okay, you don't have to read it if you don't want, but don't mischaracterize it, especially not to others who should be reading it. I have a tough time getting through theory myself so I don't blame you. But it's worth a look if you want to understand why the US never had an effective class consciousness in its proletariat, and it explains that it's not because of identity politics.
