Nothing David Day writes should be given any credibility. He made stuff up, like, all the time. Treat it as fan fiction.

What's hilarious is conservatives absolutely hate Strongtowns too, and pretty much all their policy goals are the opposite of the goal of ST. Even though Chuck Morohn is deeply conservative, he can't really face that truth.
As an ISU fan I'm happy we have a chance for another win next week. Dunno why but 2-10 is much easier to stomach than 1-11

Do US next pls
Honestly, with the way Mexicos leadership/politics and economy is heading, it's positioned to be a decent power, and potentially be a more desirable location to live than the US sometime in the next century. Big fan of AMLO and hope he is setting them on a good trend. It's probably only a matter of time before the US intervenes and makes sure they don't go too far left though, so maybe I shouldn't get my hopes up.
This and Homage are his two best imo. His fiction is a little too on the nose and heavy handed.
It's literally the most basic and textbook form of allegory you can find in literature. There's absolutely no depth to it at all.
Orwell paraded as a socialist which is why he knew who were true leftists and who weren't. Dude was a narc of the highest order, and a traitor to the cause any way you look at it.
Yeah I realize now that my comment was a tad more aggressive than it was meant to be. I think there's some value in Day's stuff. He gives some interesting perspective and analysis on Tolkien. You just need to remember to take nothing of his as fact.
