Gonna stop responding to people trying to make vibe explanations to me about the 00s and just posting 80s-00s era controversies today.

Starting with: Fox news used to love photoshopping jewish journalists into der sturmer like creations:
Journalist Jacques Steinberg edited to look like an antisemitic cartoon.

getting really annoyed at the thread because there are people replying that were just small gov conservatives in the time of Reagan like he wasn't saying shit about welfare queens on tv

she's claiming that she was a young republican in college and she wasn't like this, but there is absolutely no way you were conservative post 9/11 and you didn't hear the most awful gutter racism

They have 100% always been this way, though notably the transition from helicopter rides and referencing crushing minorities abroad humorlessly transitioned to nazi shit, but like that's basically a new layer of paint instead of a new perspective.

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.
That's why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed -because Young Republicans weren't radical enough.

yeah it really depends on how the book is marketed and not the actual content

get an MFA because you want one, not because it's the only way to learn how to write

everyone learns to read by being read to, it's simply another way to digest the information!

in this vein, a lot of literary fiction would be considered genre fiction if the authors were less prestigious

Beloved is one of the scariest books and should be included on more horror lists
