I don't know what either person is saying or what side of what argument anyone is on

    1: Here's a quote, no context

    2: I understand it, you don't.

    1: I don't understand it? How do I understand it?

    2: Basically repeats the quote

    1: Uh yeah I understand it.

    2: I understand it and you don't.

    puzzled

    That's why the source is added for the context.

    I read the source and still kind of get the sense that every person in the thread is obnoxious and doesn't demonstrate an understanding of the quote. Who are these people?

    It starts with this

    A stance he gets called privileged for, which becomes the argument in the OP.

    I absolutely cannot give a fuck about either side of this.

    Now I'm more confused why this person shared a quote from a Marx of all people.

    Because he's a marxist (I'm not gonna look into his actual credentials, this is already aggressively uninteresting). He's saying there's more to life than politics, citing Marx speaking of the importance of enriching your life.
