you’ve been traumatized into hating reading (and it makes you easier to oppress). (ismatu.substack.com)

The ruling class wants you to be literate enough to understand their written orders. And nothing more. True literacy is punk. True literacy is revolutionary.

If you look at this article and think "this is too long to read" you're part of the target audience. Make the time.

what's the tl;dr?

Basically corporations want a level of literacy sufficient to serve the company but insufficient to develop independent thought, which could jeopardize corporate profits.

That's pretty much it, despite claiming how important it is to read the article, it's extremely long winded, tangential, bloated and hard to read. So long winded, it's effectively concluded in a single sentence

They will never give you the education needed to overthrow them.
