Fucking sick of these right-wing tech/finance bros who donā€™t read books and have never cared about or seriously engaged with the actual history and ideas of western culture, yet have the audacity to weaponize the Disneyland version of western civilization that exists only in their heads.

"The world's richest man who is also a Nazi took over the government to dismantle the agency that pays for your kids' school and your mom's cancer treatment and is redirecting the money to himself" is literally the world's easiest political layup, to the point it'd be too obvious in 2010-era fiction

Something about tech and finance people sends them veering off into some bullshit scifi ideology the moment they encounter ideas even vaguely spiritual or philosophical. Iā€™m begging people to read books, take humanities classes, and experience something of the texture and patterns of normal life.

The Black Cat, which inspired so many movies only loosely related to Poeā€™s original story. Without Poe, we would have no Sir Arthur Conan Doyle or H. P. Lovecraft.

A lot of otherwise progressive people who think porn is icky and only for creeps just shrugged their shoulders when they started trying to ban porn. I hope they start taking rightwing attacks on sexual expression more seriously now that theyā€™re going after vibrators too b/c it wonā€™t stop there.

As an introvert, a misanthrope, and a grump who actually likes the atomization that comes with modern life, Iā€™ll be really annoyed if active engagement and thick civil society turns out to be the only way to stave off dictatorship.
