Listening to neolib white girls complain about Appalachia in this class for the past two hours is testing me. Rich white women's greatest bastion of creativity is finding socially acceptable ways to villify and condescend to impoverished people
"Yes, I view the most poverty-stricken areas of the United States with the highest proportion of black people per capita as hives of social degeneracy and unironically think we as a society would benefit from wiping them off the face of the earth. I am very woke!"
APPALACHIA APOLOGY FORM
Reason for behavior: โ I have never been invited to a crawfish boil โ I was jealous of the natural beauty of their forests, mountains and rivers โ I'm racist โ I can't come up with any jokes that aren't about incest โ I can't catch a flathead catfish โ I think of my political opponents as subhuman without thinking critically about the socioeconomic factors that would lead to them developing that worldview โ I just hate poor people
โฆlet me at those girls. It drives me insane peopel keep doing this. I am sick and tired of it. We have so much history and cultural. We are the reasons yโall are able to have unions. We are the reason why osha happened. You donโt understand how many of our grandparents and great grandparents fought for us and everyone around us.
They are def jealous of these views too

honestly sometimes stories where characters have self awareness and solve their problems maturely can be really refreshing sometimes. and sometimes it feels like therapyspeak slop. intense stories where no one is capable of understanding themselves and act out in incorrect ways can be very fun. and sometimes it feels like contrived bullshit. whatever makes "a good story" is harder to make happen than just using the right kind of characters using the right words

Prologues and epilogues seem to be a writing convention that has gone by the wayside, at least in some genres, though I've seen a minor resurgence in their use. Are there specific books you feel have noteworthy prologues and epilogues? Tell me in the comments.

matt just fired half the remaining tumblr support staff lmao
from my sources adjacent to tumblr--from which i can spread rumors and insider information freely because i dont give a fuck about ever working in the tech sector--im hearing this round of firings was focused on purging the senior staff, and not just from support but from the entire remaining tumblr workforce. i'm hearing there are about 25 people left.

very funny to me when people act like animal farm and 1984 are revolutionary anti government texts that the Powers That Be dont want you to read when they have literally been a part of every standard middle/highschool english lit cirriculum in the usa and beyond for decades. precisely because theyre such convenient primers to propagandize that Commies = Bad. the government is quite literally making kids read them
also, animal farm is not just anti-communist, but anti-revolution in general. the whole point of the story is if you overthrow your oppressor the new order will just become the same as the one it replaced! the story offers no suggestion of how the animals could have overthrown the farmer without the pigs becoming exactly like them, it just seems to begin and end with "never overthrown your oppressor because you'll end up right back where you started anyways." bleak and ugly story.
Not to be super English major about it, but Animal Farm was NOT an โanti-revolutionโ story. According to Orwell, it was inspired specifically by the Russian Revolution that led to the Stalinist regime. The story of animal farm is essentially what happened to the Russian people: they had a revolution against the tyrannical ruling class, only for the very people who had promised them freedom to turn into tyrants themselves.
The moral of the story is not โdonโt have a revolution,โ itโs that you should always be suspicious of those who promise you this utopian idea of freedom while still aiming to maintain power. The pigs never wanted to actually make everyone free, they just wanted to be the ones in charge. The novel details every small instance of the farm sliding further and further into fascism until itโs too late for anyone to do anything about it.
And 1984 doesnโt have much to do with communism at all. Itโs about totalitarianism and fascism. Thereโs nothing pro-capitalist about the book. A totalitarian government like Big Brotherโs could exist in either a capitalist or communist society. The point is the control they have over their people, and how important the flow of information is to that control.
George Orwell literally risked his life fighting fascists, so I think itโs pretty unfair to reduce his books to โanti-commieโ propaganda. He was intensely critical of any state that maintained too much power over its people, and at the time, one of the worst examples of that was the recent communist revolution in Russia, which deposed a monarchy to install a dictator in its place.
orwell didn't pick up a gun to shoot fascists in spain alongside anarchist revolutionaries and write The book on it just so y'all can pretend the man favored inaction and the status quo.
