nowhere in my comment says "don't read Marx". It is rude for anyone on hexbear to assume that a fellow hexbear user would be saying "don't read Marx".

Yeah, that is not what I said at all. I just said your comment could be interpreted as that by a random person reading. In fact, I assumed you are not saying that, which is why I took the time to add that at the end.

I think it's toxic for people to interpret comments as if they have malice

Which is exactly what you're doing right now
