  • Great comment!

    It makes things difficult in IRL leftist circles where everyone has different exposure to theory and different abilities to engage with theory. Not understanding something is seen as a weakness so everyone has to pretend they understand it, and thus conversation ends up being really shallow and unproductive. The worst a person can do is say something “incorrect” and prove they’re not a “real” leftist.

    Like, to convince people of things you have to appear confident. But to learn things you have to be humble/vulnerable. And our culture makes it difficult to code switch.
