In working on an article right now [won’t say on what because that’s not the focus], but I’m having to read and cite a lot of stuff for it. And it’d be so nice to just not have to. Just be able to go in front of a camera and be like “Stalin personally ate 5 million people” and get paid to do so. Or be like those guys who can barely read the communist manifesto [a 48 page pamphlet] but proudly announce they’ve debunked communism.

I mean…I wont…I’m too principled and honestly I would still have no motivation for it because I hate doing bullshit. But it would be easier if I didn’t hate it…

    I totally get this but imagine how stupid and intellectually incurious you’d be. One of the most exciting things in life is learning new things and challenging your preconceived ideas. Reactionaries have no love for life’s most stimulating intellectual pursuit.
