It's not even just books, if they hate somebody or something in general it's usually because they were told to through a media article. You can see this if you're patient enough when you look at comments pages or reddit when they're chatting amongst themselves about somebody like Trump.
That's a pretty good point. It's pretty interesting that right wingers aren't as bad as this, because a lot of them are headline-skimmers as well (like boomercons). Maybe that's because righties have pre-existing belief systems and aren't trained to follow the cult of Expert-Managed Everything like lefties.
This is why I know and I'll post to anyone who will read it it, leftists are never there to debate in good faith, it's all a power play to them.
The youtuber Decoy Voice put this pretty well. "[Libs] don't want you to solve anything, they just want you to be wrong."
We often say history goes to the victors, but that's not quite true. Victory goes to the PR team. Egypt was terrible as an army, but even a slight win was put onto walls as the greatest maneuver ever. It's been like that for a very long time.
I remember how Art of the Deal was treated during the election. It would have given a great idea about Trump's personality and how he made decisions. They wanted evil, so it became something akin to Mein Kampf. They even compared it to the book.
5000 dollars says the poster couldn’t even understand the book and probably has never read it but some communist website told them it was evil
There are so many books like that.

24/7 New Cycles and its consequences have been a disaster for society.
Catcher in the fucking Rye.
Doubt the poster even read CoC.
