It’s really disappointing seeing someone getting upbears for saying that if you don’t read theory, you’re a counterrevolutionary liberal.
I can’t even get out of bed in the morning for like 3 hours, let alone make time in my day to read after the pile of stuff I have backed up that I need to do.
Am I the only one that feels this way?
bolo'bolo is a really good read and you can call it theory. I'd say its format is fairly well oriented to the attention-deficient brain.
In addition to audiobooks, there are lots of good zines that condense stuff down to something you can operate on if you have the general social values and a distrust of the mainstream perspective on history.
I had to take several shots at getting through Capital, for instance. This is actually rather common.
TBH I think there's a running "all-positive-feedback-only" demand circulating on this site. We should be able to take a comment saying "you could do more" and not interpret it as a personal attack, because it isn't. At the end of the day we're all on a journey of understanding and improving the world together. Not everybody is going to have the equivalent of a master's in philosophy or history.
