I feel like anti-intelectualism has won. People can be given free audiobooks, the physical book, etc but they refuse to read because they view reading theory as bad or some bullshit. I have a friend and she thinks “its posh” to read theory. It seems like everyone has fallen for the propaganda that the only people who read theory are rich white college students. It fucking pisses me off.
As stupid as this may seem, we have to make people give a fuck first. People who actually care about something might bother to read. Getting someone who is barely bothered by politics or social issues to read about them is borderline impossible.
Also I dunno, just keep impressing them with your knowledge as you politicise them and press home that you learned this stuff by reading lol.
