    It's strange how writers praised for their brave, risk-taking, heterodox, unfashionable truths are, when you read them, guys upholding the status quo.

        At times, they're as repetitive as Status Quo as well.

        worse, they're trying to uphold a shattered status quo that you can't get back

        Sometimes a radical personality seems to be what matters to audiences, rather than genuinely radical politics

        Back when newspapers where a thing it seemed each paper loudly a proclaimed that it had the nations only black writer who wasn't a radical, the only woman who wasn't a radical feminist and late in the era the only Latino who wasn't a radical proponent of open immigration.

        Strangely radical black, women and Latino writing was not to be found on any of their pages which led on to wonder which paper all of these radicals did write for.
