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.

This is dumb. Of course long form media is more nuanced and informative than short form. That's independent of the form of actual media however. If you think you're going to be more informed by reading my comment than you would be if I made a 20 minute video reply referencing underlying themes, you're delusional.

Tiktok isn't a replacement for essays, but it's not less informative than Twitter.
