A lot of the Zoomers and people on Twitter who get their info on theory from breadtubers haven't actually read Marx and thought about his philosophy on a critical level, they just think he's a good guy because the funny man on the internet said do.

More Gramsci:

>We need to free ourselves from the habit of seeing culture as encyclopaedic knowledge, and men as mere receptacles to be stuffed full of empirical data and a mass of unconnected raw facts, which have to be filed in the brain as in the columns of a dictionary, enabling their owner to respond to the various stimuli from the outside world. This form of culture really is harmful….It serves only to create maladjusted people, people who believe they are superior to the rest of humanity because they have memorized a certain number of facts and dates and who rattle them off at every opportunity….It serves to create the kind of weak and colourless intellectualism…which has given birth to a mass of pretentious babblers….The young student who knows a little Latin and history, the young lawyer who has been successful in wringing a scrap of paper called a degree out of the laziness and lackadaisical attitude of his professors, they end up seeing themselves as different from and superior to even the best skilled workman…But this is not culture, but pedantry, not intelligence, but intellect, and it is absolutely right to react against it.

>Let's pretend that pedophilia is a burger, OK? So imagine I have this burger, right? and I am asking you, is the burger bad? You might say the burger is bad because it has tomato sauce. But the thing is, the tomato sauce isn't an intrinsic part of the burger, and there are burgers without tomato sauce. You do not find the burger itself bad, but the tomato sauce condiment which, by the way, can be found in a variety of other dishes. The burger itself, however, is only morally neutral.
