One's that clearly have no dictionaries in them.
Spelling isn't important anymore.
-Random dipshits on the internet who get angry about being corrected.
It certainly seems that he wouldn't be able to read even if the place had them
Bro went to a gay adult book store once and confused it with a library, now he's on a crusade (to find the guy who sucked him off in the bathroom).

That's how you get an infestation.
Dunno either, but if you find out please clue me in
Indeed. One would like to know where one would find such outrageous dens of iniquity. So one can avoid them, of course.
people who , write like this , make me want to ,. commit war crimes;;;
Hello, Mr, Shatner
Edit : Oh , I misunderstood ,. You meant the constant ;;; spaces and, shit .. not the , Shatner sprach .
like, i get not being good at using punctuation so you just end up typing massive run on sentences or, like, constantly using, commas.. or overusing the.. uh.. what´s it called.. ellipsis..
but holy shit HOW HOW HOW do these people end up thinking THIS , makes any ,, sort of sense,,,;;;,,,;;;;;,:;.;.,:;.;:;.,:;:;:;:-----_'-'--¨'̈́̈́̈́̈́'̈́̈́̈́̈́̈́̈́̈́̈́̈́̈́̈́̈́....:::.:....:::.
in what fucking country, what fucking culture, is this shit actually seen as normal? the most i've seen being used as standard is like, french putting a space before question marks for some reason, and chinese or whatever sometimes using some slightly funky punctuation, but i've never found a culture that genuinely treats this shit;;; as normal
like.. do people not read things? how the fuck does one end up thinking no one is going to find that punctuation usage strange?
Cripes. There's a guy on one of the old forums I frequent (yes, really) who does the ellipsis thing.
he writes literally everything all in lower case... with every thought punctuated with nothing but an ellipsis... even if hes asking a question... you know... youd think its a bit but hes been doing it consistently for years... i have to wonder if he actually writes all this work emails and professional correspondence like this too... like if he actually writes something out on paper with a pencil does he end every line with...
Anyway, lots of dumbasses in our country have been failed by our dumbass education system, which was ruined by other dumbasses. It's infuriating.
i think what makes it so unnerving to me is that i don't see it just being caused by a lack of education, because if you can write then surely you can also read, and thus surely you can read normal text which exists everywhere and can't be missed
the kind of bad writing that lack of education causes is more just bad grammar and boneappleteas (writing unknown phrases as the closest matching words you do know, so "bon appetit" turns into "bone apple tea"), with maybe some sloppy punctuation usage but not outright
Such a thing is a "malapropism," which is now your word of the day.
YOU FORGOT……THE ALMIGHTY ALLCAP’S…..THE ULTIMATE….😀😀😀 CRIMES MUST OF….BE ACOMBLISHED….EXTRA APOSTROPHE’S!!! 😀😀😀
And don’t forget the smileys, misspellings, ellipses and “Have a nice day, libtard😀😀😀”.
(Ugh. I got irritated just writing that much in mockery)
see this doesn't actually make me as uncomfortable because it's just.. obnoxious
it's not incomprehensible, i get why people would write like that
for a sexual trist at the Library
I'm confused about this entire book/library sequence. Is John saying that libraries and reading are leftist things?
The thing about anti-intellectualism is that its proponents never consider the possibility that they themselves can be "intellectual". They think of intellectual people as having some sort of inborn superpower and that they have no choice but to be grovellingly deferential toward them, which they would rightly hate. But they can just read books and become intellectual themselves 🤷 The shit's open source. And it's open source even if you're poor, because of LIBRARIES!
Right Wing politics are based around hierarchy, the idea of being above other people. Rich > poor, American > immigrant, me > you. In order for right wing propaganda to work on idiots like this, they need to make it seem like the people who aren't falling for it are below them in some way. This narrative that intellectuals are either brainwashed or knowingly brainwashing other people compensates for the noticeable difference in smarts and makes that imagined reality that much more tempting. They're not "uneducated", they just naturally knew better than to get brainwashed because of their massively superior true American brain! Fascism needs to be flattering in order to be convincing because it has nothing else except fear to offer.
But these people don't want to. They're tired, frustrated, and likely their school failed them such that reading is just another reminder that they don't know so many things.
It's easier to denigrate those who have read and learned than to confront the mountain that is their own ignorance. "I could climb that mountain, if I wanted." they might say, "But why would I do something so stupid when I'm doing such important stuff right now?? The people wasting their time climbing it must have something wrong with them."
Part of what used to make me read what I did was people saying "oh that's too difficult, you'll never understand it or enjoy it!".
It was like...challenge accepted, bitch.
Also scihub, libgen, etc.
But if they read books their opinions would be changed, they would become impure. Communication is an attack.
education overwhelmingly refutes their most deeply held beliefs time and time again. of course they reject it.
Really just all information. They're perfect just the way they are, therefore learning is defiling ones self.
Bet that guy calls himself a Christian, so a member of a literal cult.
Can't be, he's probably allergic to the bible, since it's a book. If he open it he combusts into flames reborn a big dicked gay guy who's emissions are like that of a donkey (someone will probably get that reference)
Most of them don't read it....
:spelling
But they'll proudly shout that it's the "MOST FAMOUS AND MOST IMPORTANT AND MOST READ BOOK IN THE HISTORY OF HUMANITY!!!!!!!!!!!!"
He probably thinks it isn't gay if the guy is named Jesus though.
Quoting, with some degree of irony, John Waters:
I took it one step further and put a copy of The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand on my bookshelf and if you don’t ask me why the fuck I own that book when you see it then you aren’t getting laid.
Just be careful, that's like installing a claymore in your own home, date-wise 😆
I encourage all other men to adopt this strategy so there are more cuties to go around for me.
Meh, I’m into nerdy people, it’s been a 100% home run streak as far as that bit if kindling is concerned. Highly recommend.
It was Flavor Aid.
I've read that they ran out of Flavor-Aid and had to switch to Kool-Aid by the end.
I thought Flavor-Aid was the cheap alternative they used because they couldn't afford Kool-Aid.
Really want to fuck a cute she/they in the stacks at a library.
I'm totally getting off to that later.
The whole damn country is built on spite. Screw your taxes, I'll make my own! I'll make my own country, with blackjack! And hookers! Royal Crown soda? Spite. The price of Coca-Cola syrup went up. I actually kind of love that, though. Necessity may be the mother of invention, but I'd say spite is the deadz-beat dad.
Now, I think anti-intellectualism also stems from this spite complex. Do your own research! Don't believe anything actual scientists say. In fact, do exactly the opposite. Don't get vaccines. Roll coal. Become a sovereign citizen and end up right back where we started, refuse to pay taxes.
I've read that during the collapse of Rome the citizens and politicians behaved ironically in a way that helped accelerate its collapse. I think the same can be said about America.
