Whenever a chud says "Oh you're a communist? Read a book, moron!" I've started asking "Which do you recommend?" but I've never gotten a reply 😕🤔

    a lib who got lost and wandered into hexbear once did the “read a book” thing about China, so I asked them what book they recommended and they recommended a completely unrelated novel and asserted they just meant read any book, not a non-fiction book about China

        I wish I could remember what book it was, I think it was one of the english literature “classics”, the kind of thing you recommend without reading when you’re desperate to sound smart and well read

          So it could have been any George Orwell novel.

            It could have been but I recall it was completely unrelated in any way, it was genuinely like Dickens or something
