Look buddy, let me make this actually simple for you:

Your reading list is peak "I just discovered politics" energy. Throwing around Nazi references while recommending Malcolm Gladwell knockoffs? Really? That's like citing Wikipedia while claiming to be a history professor.

Actually changing things = understanding that real systemic change doesn't come from your curated bookshop.org shopping cart. Your "movement action plan" reads like a LinkedIn influencer's guide to revolution.

And that Boston Tea Party comparison? Please. You're basically saying "let me explain this complex historical event by oversimplifying it into a Walmart analogy." The irony of using corporate metaphors to explain anti-corporate action is just chef's kiss.

The "dandelion rebellion"? Sounds like something a marketing team came up with after their third espresso. Next you'll tell me we should organize via TikTok dance challenges.

Catch my drift or need me to recommend some actual hands-on experience instead of your self-help revolution reading club?

You really don't have to be such an asshole. Shit talking potential allies until they give up is not helping.
