    spend years reading leftist theory, but have zero real world experience

    jesse-wtf

    I just love this lib classic. I really do wish I lived in whatever “real world” these people live in where they don’t feel even the slightest amount of rage at all the injustices imparted upon society by capitalism. Miss me with the pragmatism bullshit.
