Hot take: I think "reading theory" only really works if the person reading it is at least kind of sympathetic to the message. If they aren't they can usually pull some mental gymnastics to counter it. If you forced a diehard Lib to read 6000 pages of theory at gun point I think the result would just be a more articulate Lib, not a leftist.

Or they turn into an insufferable western ultra who streams on twitch all day shit talking every AES/Global South country. That's very much a risk.
Yeah was gonna say, I feel like when you bully Libs into reading theory they just read a bit of Marx and then become Vaushites.
insufficient microsoft outlook experience
I don't think I've ever used outlook, but it's software to send emails how complex can it really be lol?
oh you sweet summer child
outlook isn't just an email client. It's also a calendar, a contacts list, a web browser, and so much more. You can set up automation, have "groups", make polls, all sorts of things. especially when it's paired with Exchange, you will never use 90% of it's features.
Cloud this, cloud that... back in my day we coded COBOL, by hand, in the snow, and we liked it 
Still, I don't feel it's a particularly complex software, even if you went down the deep end.
Imagine the chaos you could cause from the inside just by being a bit clumsy though.
Yes, Chinese embassy? My password is ****
I was thinking more like accidentally forwarding phishing emails to people. "I think this is more your department?"
that too...
The chaos, the amount of documents you could collate to leak, just being an insider for a year or two to really get a good view of all the moving parts so you could spill the beans once you leave...
I'm shocked Radio Free Europe still exists, since every European country gets their opinions from the US now without the need for a CIA-funded mouthpiece.
Textbook NATO leftist lmao
I've used outlook for 90% of my office jobs, it's not a difficult software to use, and there's very little to master in it, especially compared to things like Excel or even Word. Why would it become a requirement for a job???
Maybe if you're like an EA and you're managing some executive dumbass' calendar and emails for them. Even then, it's not that complicated.
Yeah, this friend of yours is prbly gonna be a good Socdem E.U agent, if ye ask me....
(I had high hopes for the Union before... )
