    It's weird that this is meant to be a critique.https://twitter.com/smalwigwamlight/status/1052586424447299584 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    JJ @smalwigwamlight
    In his literary criticism, Orwell was undeniably the Jeet Heer of his day. Spent all his time and energy demonstrating an intricate knowledge and appreciation of the nuances of right-wing poets only to brand their work as irredeemably fascist.

        You need to post a series of photos of yourself washing dishes in some hovel of a restaurant. For the Orwell cred.

        contra JJ's claim that Orwell always ends by deeming right-wing poets irredeemably fascist: "And yet the ‘Fascist’ charge has to be answered, because the first clue to any understanding of Kipling, morally or politically, is the fact that he was not a Fascist."
