Ursula LeGuin puts the publishers in their place
  • The US president reminds me of the kings of old - more so than anybody actually called a king. The kind of fawning exaltation their current and former leaders receive is way, way over the top. 'Presidents Day' like there's a pantheon that needs worshipping: pathetic. The fear/respect people close-to treat them with reminds me of the servile peons under some all-powerful autocrat, and not for no reason. The power these people have is way, way, way over the top, power that - rather than helping disillusion an entire population brainwashed by the lie of superiority - wages revenge wars and swings dicks.

    • The slave thing was about brainwashing and exploitation, and how it's wrong.
    • I don't know what you're referring to with the apartheid thing.
    • The goblins are antisemitic because they have big noses? That's been a staple of goblin anatomy since they were created.
    • The main character becomes an anti dark sorcerer guy, like counterterrorism, so nothing to do with enforcing all that gubbins anyway.

    Oh, and thanks for the '/s'. You know, otherwise I really would've thought you were giving it a compliment after a full paragraph of invective.

  • It 'unlocked' my stomach once; tore the fucker right open. They gave me morphine to take for the pain, which went well. Anyway, three years sober now.
