Sometimes I back up my argument with entire books lmao. Its not usually for the person I am arguing with. Its for the people who see the argument and are curious

You should be able to explicate your own argument, though. "Read this book" isn't convincing on its own.

Yeah, you need to take specific portions of the book to support your argument. I won't just say "read Fanon" but will give a a specific example from the book in addition to the more general example of the entire work, plus encourage them to read more.

Just point to the dictionary. "Draw your own conclusions, bro"

Einstein said if you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it.

Also drag likes your name.
