I read the source and still kind of get the sense that every person in the thread is obnoxious and doesn’t demonstrate an understanding of the quote. Who are these people?
Oh I see. The top of the thread says “This author has chosen to make their posts visible only to people who are signed in” so I missed it. Thanks for clarifying!
Because he’s a marxist (I’m not gonna look into his actual credentials, this is already aggressively uninteresting).
He’s saying there’s more to life than politics, citing Marx speaking of the importance of enriching your life.
That’s why the source is added for the context.

It starts with this
A stance he gets called privileged for, which becomes the argument in the OP.
I absolutely cannot give a fuck about either side of this.

Now I’m more confused why this person shared a quote from a Marx of all people.

Thanks for the explanation! Couldn’t tell if he was thinking the quote promoted the grind set or not.
Lmao, he’s not. He completely bastardized Marx’s theory of alienation as if politics is not part of other human experiences.
It is not worth arguing about, so I’m not gonna do it.
