read this in a cafe felt like a living peak performative meme

“Collapse is easy, but construction is difficult.” was the first phrase that caught my eye as i flipped to page 76 and thought wow i’ve been keeping up at building this reading habit and all it would take is a boring book to bring this habit to collapse; the book i held in my hands would determine the fate of my monthly bookmark achievement and yes this book is just a bunch of men names but my bookmark bro

everytime i read this i think of that one tiktok where the guy says WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?) and points out the answer always leads to socialism bc sharing is caring 🙏 and love thy neighbour 🙏 Jesus would be so disappointed if he lived in 2026 😭😭😭
