Idealism is materialism because it uses language which is material.

If you'd like a starting point for idealism, read Berkeley's Principles of Human Knowledge. It's really readable, and the form of idealism he espouses is pretty clear and plain-spoken.

If Berkeley still seems hard to get, it may help to steep yourself in early modern epistemology via the Meditations and Locke's Essay, both of which I think can be read pretty much as an entry point.

Start with the Holy Qur'an.

There's your problem right there

What the fuck even is materialism? Have you ever seen a material? No bitch, you only see colors, hence material is a spook

More thought than language, honestly.

Just because you don't understand something it doesn't mean you're stupid. It could be very well the case that what you are reading doesn't actually make sense or make any point at all, and hides it behind big boy words.

But ultimately language is used to express that thought.
