Nobody is asking you to study the topic

The person insisting I read 57 310 words, while providing no quotes, context, or arguments of their own is.

or listen to people who actually have read it

You mean like this post here:

I read through until chapter 1 in that section you linked and he is pretty scathing of landlords and if I understand it correctly his argument is that landlords exist solely to soak up all extra profits above what would leave the tenant just enough to survive.

To which the response was simply "Read more"? No counter arguments. Just "If you don't agree with me yet you haven't studied the topic enough. Study it more until you agree with me."

Ya, I wonder why they got downvotes...

It’s perfectly reasonable to ask someone to study a topic before they comment on it. This is some next level brain rot you have son.

A 50 000+ word essay is as useful a source as saying "Google it". You need to at least quote something to direct people where to look.

It’s one of the most prolific, if not THE most prolific book about the philosophy of capitalism of all time. It’s not the same as some anti vaxxer telling you to do your own research man.

I just get really fucking annoyed when people are like “Adam Smith hated landlords even!” When it’s not true. It makes it seem like capitalism isn’t inherently bad or oppressive, it’s the fault of our current system and the bourgeoisie we have now, and not the actual point of the beast. It lets capitalism and it’s proponents off easy, and that pisses me off. And it pisses me off more that when you explain it and give people the resources to understand it better they’re actively rude to you.

I can how it can piss you off when you try to explain something to someone and they respond with something like:

Hah fair enough

@CileTheSane @Cruxifux I aspire to this, but I also often fail to think ahead to save sources for future use, and so I'm stuck pulling from memory and trying to regurgitate the arguments or information
