I agree deeply with the message that we have not fully conceptualized how to utilize the tools at our disposal, books included.

Raw text requires an intense amount of skill, in crafting words, to impart voice in a way that is truly humanizing; how are we to expect those most oppressed by our system to achieve this when the method for writing is taught in a system gatekept by fiat currency? How are they expected to have the time to teach themselves outside of that environment (academia) when the world is just so hard and demanding of your time to generate fiat currency unless you already have access to a reserve of it?

It's my personal opinion that comic books (re: illustrations of people with words attached to tell a story) are the best usage of text for imparting a message with a memorable, relatable, and humanized message to it that we've currently realized, as a society. It's fitting then that those seeking to maintain power and hierarchy over us would make us think and utilize it only for recreational means while continuing to encourage our communication channels to imitate the academic system (re: verbosity, tone, prose, structure).
