Sir, is it actually "your country" that has turned on you. Again, we aren't going to get far if folks refuse to correctly identify who they should ACTUALLY be mad at. Stop using euphemisms. Who is responsible?
“.. It’s to the point now where .. I could lose everything ... Being a small business owner isn’t worth it when your country turns on you,” said Jared Hendricks, the CEO of Village Lighting, a small business selling Christmas products.

Everyone in power telling you not to get vaccinated is getting vaccinated.

You’re a fool if you think otherwise.

Black Americans will always find joy even when the world around us is burning.

And where joy can’t be found, we create it.

That’s one thing they keep trying to take from us and it pisses them off that they can’t.

I keep seeing kids in their late teens and early 20s romanticize the year 2016. “It’s 2016 and you’re listening to this song…”

Guys, nobody liked 2016. Until 2020, it was considered one of the worst years anyone had ever seen. Everyone cool died. It was fucking miserable. Stop it.

100% this. One of THE most important things you will learn or ought to learn as a bookseller (OR writer OR reviewer OR avid reader) is that all genres are valid, there is groundbreaking work happening right now in Every Single Genre, and to STFU on reductive, condescending takes.
Litfic discourse with reference points stuck in 1993

Litfic discourse something something “Ian McEwan” “Sally Rooney” “David Foster Wallace”

Litfic discourse that’s abundantly clear that most people haven’t picked up and read a litfic book in the last decade or more
