On Hexbear we regularly bully each other into reading entire books when someone has a bad take. This is mild.

11 paragraphs is like one single page, maybe two.

Educate yourself or shut the fuck up. Otherwise, don't act surprised when you're ridiculed for constantly voicing worthless thoughts.

educate yourself and everyone around you matt-jokerfied

In this case, I'm just saying throwing 11 paragraphs of some random essay isn't a good way to communicate. I'm all for education.

Someone else already said that the last 2 paragraphs are basically a summary of the whole book, try reading those and see if the other 9 interest you

Cool. I imagine I would agree with a lot of what it says. I haven't been talking about the contents of the writing though. The only point I'm trying to make in this entire thing is that copying and pasting 11 paragraphs is bad communication.

It would be good for you too. I see less whining about having to read two pages in 5th grade classrooms.

But in fact you don't have to! No one is forcing you to engage.
