I get that the text might have some good and important meaning, but the format the meaning was delivered in spoils it.
Like, I would love it if someone gave me a million dollars. But do I want the million dollars in pennies? Not really lol
So what I'm getting is that you need to be sat down in front of a screen and have things explained to you in short, simple sentences, or else you panic and bolt.
You make it seem like theres a problem with that... i didnt come to a social media to read a textbook
No you come to social media to jump into threads about complex topics like history, philosophy, and politics...and then engage only thru simple thought-terminating cliches.
When someone quotes a relevant passage from a history book, you arrogantly dismiss it for being completely inappropriate for a "social media" site. What is appropriate here, of course, is you weighing in on these complex topics with the correct form of communication -- an incoherent series of monosyllabic words strung together.
Now that is productive communication.
I wish you luck on your continuing mission to convince yourself that you're the articulate master of communication here, actually.
Sorry can you dumb that down for me please
