leftist talking points:
1) vampires are cool
2) to the extent that the struggle against the vampire is a metaphor for the struggle of the working class, this is not a moralistic argument about the vampire’s relationship to sin. the vampire does not choose to prey on the people, and neither do the people have any choice but to bring about its eventual demise; such are the material conditions at play.
3) however, no vampire literature actually portrays them thusly. that’s fascist propaganda to turn the people’s attentions away from their true enemy, who is not the vampire (who is cool) but the wealthy elite standing in the way of an equitable solution.

when they try to sound like a smart leftist but they don't actually know any leftist talking points

no good narrator ever gives you their honest opinion

if the narrator said it, it's probably the joke

when you can't tell if they understand that that's the joke

straight and punk just feel like antonyms to me y’all, idk

hmm… it’s friday……

why dominos taste so good?? but feel so bad??

“in Canada, women are encouraged to embrace an individualist mindset and abandon collective responsibility”

please just give me a book which is not entirely about some youthful protagonist achieving her own, highly‐specific, individual dreams slash power fantasies

please just give me a book about someone who understands collective responsibility and has a historical perspective regarding activism and change

in the end it feels extremely self‐aggrandizing regarding the power of words to enact change, which is a pervasive problem among writers in general and not in any way historically or scientifically founded

it’s excusable in a sense in that it is entirely in‐character and understandable for the protagonist to feel these ways and have these misunderstandings, but i really don’t want to have to listen to them for 52 bloody chapters lol

which is a right missed opportunity for an author who could be spending their time educating the youth on how actual successful activism and historical activist/justice movements have operated and succeeded

but it doesn’t feel like they’ve done that homework
