I'm noticing a lot of people taking "you should read more about this, here are some book recommendations" as insulting their intelligence.

This is relevant because most USians lack a political education.

If someone takes that as an insult then maybe they are unintelligent

If that is true, is that something that the other person needs to feel? As well, is it preferable to act deliberately knowing it is a likely effect? Maybe I've internalized too much christian-purity, it doesn't feel right and it also seems inefficient.
