If you identify yourself by reading something that makes you appear smart, you are not a reader. You are a poseur.

Literary studies and English departments are by far the least intellectually rigorous on a university campus.

>>24950027>I’m too stupid to sort through bias and reach for a higher understanding!Filtered, stay at the kids table.
>>24950033Brother you were making a better point than the one you think you were making
>>24950040>he's actually convinced himself that his information is the good informationYup, it's over for this manchild
