The plagiarism issues around the book “Kill All Normies” may not reflect the mendacity of the author so much as the end of literacy. What I mean by this is that simply copying Wikipedia or another website is, for many people, writing today. You do not need to work the thought.
“Content” is not writing, really. It is not thought. It is, as with memes, mere information replication without any particular comprehension of the information contained within.
