I’m noticing a lot of people taking “you should read more about this, here are some book recommendations” as insulting their intelligence.

This is relevant because most USians lack a political education.

Telling someone to read a book is actually the gravest insult in American culture

Pretty much this, though tbh telling someone to do anything in American culture is a bad idea. An American on fire would rather burn to death than be told to stop drop and roll. I present it as something I did and what I learned/or whatever, generally that works better.
