Oh so that's what its for rule
  • I've read 12 of Vonnegut's books. He is fundamentally a social progressive, but there are also some moments in some 70s novels (particularly Breakfast of Champions) that I find homophobic. He also has a habit of making women either passive pleasers or full nutso.

    But he also explicitly and repeatedly pushes kindness, egalitarian social justice, and willingness to change.

    I highly highly recommend every human read Mother Night.

  • That's not his views... that's from an essay where he's parodying the mainstream ultrasimplification of political alignment.

    You left out some language that I think clears up his ironic tone:

    If you want to take my guns away from me, and you’re all for murdering fetuses, and love it when homosexuals marry each other, and want to give them kitchen appliances at their showers, and you’re for the poor, you’re a liberal.

    If you are against those perversions and for the rich, you’re a conservative.

    What could be simpler?

    Totally changes it, doesn't it?

  • "Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college."

  • Anyone remember anything about 2021
  • ahahaha I love when trolls can't help but be carefully honest... you "backed" Clinton and Sanders aka you didn't vote for Sanders and then Biden and suddenly get redpilled by a Brandon Straka hoax campaign, you didn't vote for anyone at all! How's the weather there in Olgino?
