I'm noticing a lot of people taking "you should read more about this, here are some book recommendations" as insulting their intelligence.

This is relevant because most USians lack a political education.

    Hmm, I think I took Maoo to mean confident in a flippant way, I suppose that makes it disrespectful. The situation I thought it would be appropriate is like, for a person who is unaccustomed to being challenged or who very gassed up. But I think you're right generally, only in the instances where you can't be respectful it might work to not take them too seriously.
