      Sometimes a topic is complex or unfamiliar and shouldn’t be explained simply. It really depends on the audience and one’s goal.

      But just to validate the main sentiment, speaking in terms of dense theory to an audience that doesn’t know any of it is a mistake and avoiding engagement with such audiences is just cloistering oneself away from the masses. It’s impossible to be an effective socialist when making those mistakes.

      Honestly it is because of this I love memes, and it is incredibly easy to recognise when there are pro-American undertones because they rely sooo hard on their ironic ness, which funnily enough usually means they’re pretty shit jokes that require the audience to pretend like they’re funny.
