The problem is when they expect you to waste hours over hours in online forums arguing theory to prove it.

Me's theory simple - I's hates it, I smashes it.
I hate arguing theory. It's so hyper targeted that it never reaches any masses and is a complete waste of time and energy.
I know, right? But these motherfuckers will be like "Oh so you hate Iran's theocracy? Read theory!"
I just started reading An Anarchist FAQ as someone who has never read theory. To say I'm intimidated by Section A being the length of a normal book is putting it lightly
The FAQ is best used as a reference for individual questions, reading it from front to back will be a monumental and tedious task.
I recommend you pick some of the authors in the first panel and read their books, and reserve the FAQ as a reference for questions that may come to you as you're reading.
Oh okay, thanks for the tip!
