no. 180

"I know some classes at the school had to read A Separate Peace, Catcher in the Rye AND The Great Gatsby.

There’s your problem, America. It’s not video games or the Internet that is making your white kids grow up into amoral, self-important whiners who expect to get away with everything. It’s making them read books about jaded assholes and then telling them it’s great literature.

And hell, some schools throw in Ayn Rand’s garbage on top of it! No wonder Youtube comments look like they do. It’s fucking evil.

At the same time, I was reading Frankenstein and The Island of Dr. Moreau and Gulliver’s Travels. And what did those books teach me? That white people who think they’re smarter and better than everyone else usually wind up trapped in a hell of their own making, and while they can eventually cut their way out of it, it will probably drive them insane, or at least otherwise ruin their lives. I think that’s a far better lesson."
