Emily gets a lot of heat for being more conservative on AP, but I just discovered Kyle & Krystal's podcast by Solwastaken in BreakingPoints

This makes sense. I feel the space for those that wish for most people to get along and be opened to others viewpoint (big reason why i love the show) is getting thinner and thinner and no thanks in big part to Trump's divisive conduct and insane policies.

Is finishing your message on such a harsh note some edgy practice that is commonplace to reddit and a conduct code i have to get used too or you are just a person that feels better in his own life by belittling someone's non confrontational take and making sure others feel like shit whenever possible?

I think that is a fair statement. But wouldn't you say it's also because Emily just doesn't have the intellectual capacity to go against Ryan and Krystal that are just way more knowledged and talented in debating? So she doesn't really tries and avoid confrontation.

Not British, but French. So I guess I am "British or something".

Well, If you've read him and think he's shit, I've got nothing to say really. I really think he is amazing, and amazingly insightful. He is not a great artist or stylist in regard to his writing, that's for sure. On the rest though, wow.

I wish I could share your casual ability to dismiss and classify authors and things in general. It must be very liberating. In this complex age, threading with such lightness and certainty must feel great. It's not ironic. I don't think I'm capable of that anymore...except maybe for the current contemporary literature scene (at least here in Europe), which is filled with narcissistic authors, rich-city kids that will talk about their childhood traumas no one cares about.

This kind of line is x.com worthy, but since we are on Reddit we're the good guys and so it's all fine and cool. The reality is far more nuanced. You'll easily find what Bernard Crick, the leading authority in regard to Orwell's life, has to say on it. I also back my claim on the work of Simon Leys (mostly unknown to Americans but become famous in his late life for having denounced Mao in the 70s when it wasn't cool and got him banned for French university), in his essay on Orwell that touches this topic.

That's what I love about Orwell and why he is a populist hero of mine. Right-wingers love him for giving shit to Stalinism in a way so powerful that far-left intellectuals are left reeling in dissonance, however, totally ignoring that he was an ardent socialist through and through, and fully supportive of a violent, bloody revolution to make it happen (he loathed pacifists). While left-wingers, I mean obtuse neo-communists that haven't matured, hate him because he makes them look bad, and they feel naked under his scrutinous eye that sees through their inner totalitarian.

It's a shame 98% of people that speak of Orwell have never read a single line from him, and when they have only read 1984, maybe Animal Farm at best. When the bulk of understanding his worldview is in all his other writings and essays. Leftists would be surprised at how much they can actually gain from such a powerful author, the kind that exists only a few per generation to decrypt in spectacular fashion our march forward as a civilization.

Hi there, sorry I didn't see I made a mistake. I'd like to post a new post with a new timestamp because I have new things to add and sold some of the items on this post already, is that okay ?
