if you ever feel "stupid" for "not knowing stuff about politics" or not knowing Theory just remember that the only difference between you and someone who ""knows stuff"" is they've spent time learning about it (possibly because their life gave them access to spend a lot of time reading about it) it's not because you're stupid; and you could just as easily get there AND AND AND you don't need to know Theory to understand politics and make sound decisions and think through what you believ
and if you do decide you want to read Theory most of the classic texts people read are available for free on https://theanarchistlibrary.org and often there are even audiobook versions
Youtube is also FULL of people making videos summarizing various Theory ideas. I haven't actually read *that* much theory I mostly listen to podcasts and youtube videos where people summarize theory. Take a concept you wanna learn about, plunk it into youtube, you'll find Someone I'm sure
Good youtubers to check out for this stuff (in no particular order) are: * Peter Coffin * Thoughtslime * BadMouseProductions * Mexie * ContraPoints (or at least.... some of her stuff) * GwenNoFear * Kat Blaque * anactualjoke * PhilosophyTube (also the host is SO hot ^^;;) * TheRulesOrg (actually funded by george soros lmao but good stuff) * Xexizy
I don't endorse everything these ppl believe and many of them disagree with each other, but they do good explaining Theory concepts
