The Israeli government should release Greta Thunberg and the rest of the #FreedomFlotilla members immediately! Baby formula, food, and medical supplies are not weapons of war.
Re the Greta Thunberg boat: “The ship was unlawfully boarded, its unarmed civilian crew abducted, and its life-saving cargo — including baby formula, food and medical supplies — confiscated," it said in a statement.

I feel like Catch 22 is one of the most obviously leftist books just bc the protagonist is a smart guy who understands the insanity around him in perfect clarity, but nobody takes him seriously because it's also turned him into a miserable, high-strung neurotic
And what's more leftist than that

It’s 2007. Someone tries to do speculative fiction about 2025 that describes exactly where we are today. It gets rejected by publishers for being too hackneyed and mind-numbingly stupid.

Literature is dying, the institutions are collapsing, it's all a rigged maze, you'll never make money doing this, everyone's attention span is 1.2 seconds so you better be able to spit out what that 80,000 words is about fast, and the apocalypse is nigh. Become a writer!
