How can reading be a prerequisite to a revolution for people that will literally never read? I don’t think it is because I actually a revolution, do you?
I mean, I’m a “dumb, lazy, stupid, and propagandized” American, and I actually enjoy reading theory. This is from somebody who used to tell people, “I’m not a reader”. Most of that stems from the fact that I went nearly 28 years without knowing I had treatable ADHD, and then another 10 years to realize America is built to keep people like me from getting the help I needed.
Lazy is a word I also can’t fucking stand, because it’s a whesel word; it’s not a real description of the reasons why people behave how they do, and it allows you to avoid doing the real work of actually getting to the root of people’s behavior, be it an individual or a group.

This is true, I think “laziness” (in the sense of an ongoing aspect of someone’s character) doesn’t really exist. People can be unmotivated or unable to do certain things due to many factors (ideology, personal feelings/situation, mental health, etc.), none of which are “laziness”.
No one wakes up in the morning and thinks “hmm, now I will choose to live my life as uselessly as possible because I am lazy” outside of liberal propaganda. People are ideologically motivated to avoid things, or overworked and burnt out, or depressed, etc.
