...I said "Excerpt from Michael Parenti's Blackshirts and Reds," because it's, uhh, an excerpt from Michael Parenti's Blackshirts and Reds.

I copied it from a pdf of the book I cited because I found it relevant. Really, if you want to fully understand how fascism and communism are different and not comparable, you should read the whole book. I know, I probably sound like a crazy person for suggesting that people read a whole entire book to better understand politics instead of going off vibes, but that's just how I roll I guess.

most likely nobody is going to read

Being too lazy and uncurious to read a handful of paragraphs is not something to be proud of

It's a quote from a book they read. You should try reading books sometime, it's cool.

If you want a summary, the last two paragraphs they quoted could serve as one.

Can you read,serious question?

Are you asking if she copied and pasted an excerpt from a book? Yes, of course she did. Lol

Edit: If I took a video of myself retyping it or writing it by hand, would you read it then? I'll do it.

Just read it ffs you libs are just the laziest

It’s like 2 sentences. Your post is practically the same length

I think a part of good, honest discourse is recognizing and respecting the time of the person you are talking with.

If you are going to respond with 11 paragraphs quoted from a book, you should preempt it by saying something to diffuse it. Something like, "oh man, this is super long but actually quite beneficial. I wrote a tldr though at the end in case you don't have time to read the whole thing."

I use this site while I'm at work. I literally don't have time to read all of that lol.
