you’ve been traumatized into hating reading (and it makes you easier to oppress). (ismatu.substack.com)

The ruling class wants you to be literate enough to understand their written orders. And nothing more. True literacy is punk. True literacy is revolutionary.

If you look at this article and think "this is too long to read" you're part of the target audience. Make the time.

hrm yea I don't really like that take. I get the point but also equating their experience to everyone else is just, not it. It just doesnt work like that for many, even those with the exact same challenges

I've tried reading, so often. I want to be able to, even it just doesn't work for me. And believe me I've tried everything

anyway thanks for quoting the relevant sections of the article for me! That was helpful

Thanks for asking questions and engaging with me, it actually made me read the article instead of skip it for being 40-ish minutes long lol
