You’re not wrong...

Given that solitary confinement is essentially torture... maybe not solitary confinement?

As far as I can tell, right-wing Libertarianism is just Objectivism overlaid with a rigid ethical framework (itself arbitrary), which makes it more of a philosophy than a fully formed political ideology.

I know that almost nobody wants to hear an allusion to 100-year old German literature, but I would say that Trump is Mynheer Peeperkorn from Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain. He’s incoherent, loud, and thoroughly shitty, but everyone is weirdly drawn to him. I think he’s supposed to represent the cult of personality,…

Fun fact: Steven Seagal wrote and helped perform the end credits song to his 1995 movie Under Siege 2: Dark Territory, which is about a terrorist attack on a train.

No one is doubting Ronaldo’s talent. It’s just that he also happens to be soccer’s biggest asshole, philanthropy non-withstanding of course.

I went to an anarchist book fair once, and nobody there seemed very pro-business, especially with respect to fashion.

Anyone who funds a museum devoted to themselves in their hometown, featuring a bronze statue with an overstuffed crotch, is basally nothing more than a piece of shit.

I feel like Beyoncé had a rather large role to play in eliciting the so-called drama, given that it was her choice to pepper her album’s lyrics with allusions to the experience of being cheated on...

“I genuinely thought makeup was safe, but that’s not the case.”

What the FUCK is university even good for these days??

“Yeah, you better give me the insurance, because I am gonna beat the hell outta this thing.”

So who is the Kim Kardashian of politics that Trump reminds her of?

There is one aspect of your article that I can’t for the life of me figure out, although I suspect that’s just cause I’m me and not you. That aspect is:

I’m an aspiring writer with a few stories/essays, as well as half a novel under my belt, and I’ve never asked myself who I’m writing for. Now that I AM asking, the only answer I can come up with is: humans.
