I’ve been meaning to read this essay for a bit! I read a chunk of China Has Billionaires yesterday on my break. I like how clear Roderic Day’s writing is, so I’ll definitely have to make time for that next.
Well, that's why I love Roderic Day's writing, it's because of how simple, yet clear it is for someone who's attention span varies. I love how relatable the essay is because I still remember when I was an anti-communist, a yanKKKee lover and a Trump supporter.
(I know, you wouldn't think that you're hearing from a former KKKonSServative.) And oh my, I had a teacher who was quite progressive, and when I used to complain about communism, he mentioned Pinochet, and I dismissed the evidence at the time because it contradicted neoliberal ideology I used to believe in. So, for Day to mention about how weSSternerSS want to believe that our country is better than the Socialist nations is so true. Like yes, Iraq was bad, healthcare's getting shittier, but this time, they're telling the truth.
And those same people will accuse us of being in a echo chamber, like fuck off, I live in a world where KKKaptaliSSt ideology is promoted in my face 24/7, I deal with liberal family members (I love my family, but please open your eyes,) I literally see liberaliSSm everywhere, on the media, YouTube, the news, and I'm like oh my lord, give me a break.
Sorry, I can be pissed off at times, and I can chat a lot at times. But you are great. Please be safe and may you have ten thousand years of luck.
