The rest of who? The fringe left who is simply adopting positions that were spoon fed to them? Yeah not terribly concerned with your wants, that's accurate.

I'm not sure I follow. It's so bad there's an in-joke among the left that their memes are walls of text referencing the most dense prose you'll ever read and that the required reading will take you years to complete. The bar seems to be rather high.

Is there a similar self-deprecating joke amongst the right? What's the required reading list look like for those on the right?

Not sure I get the joke but I'm sure it's very funny to you. I don't really get into the meme world.

As for self deprecating jokes, I suppose I'd just point you to the right's love of over the top Trump impersonators who make fun of Trump's various verbal ticks and his general public speaking style.

As for "required reading" I don't believe that the various factions within non-left-wing communities have one unified reading list. You'd have to get out more and talk to some to find out what they're reading IMHO.

The point I was making is that leftists gate-keep participation by requiring reading and self-acknowledges this. That seems at odds to the notion that leftists are spoon-fed. How do you reconcile this?

I'm sure they "self-acknowledge" that their ideas are very complex. It's something I've seen leftists claim time and again. Their ideas are quite simple and flimsy from my POV.

IME, nothing impressive there. If only they'd read some Sowell instead of headlines on Reddit.

Exactly how much time have you spent in leftist spaces?

From what I observe they seem to be riddled with bookclub after bookclub so much so that it prevents them from doing anything at all.

What is a "leftist space"? I go wherever I want and stay however long I choose.

If you're spending a lot of time with those people and finding value in what they're saying then keep doing it. Do whatever makes you happy.
