Thank you, my sane uncle. These fellows who only intermittently take me seriously will now have no choice

You overestimate the power of Yale University.

Well I trust he's not the only one who can see that your argument is comically weak

he might have been lighthearted there but earlier claimed seriously that Xian universities in the US probably teach Pound for his politics

I didn't say that! I'm not talking about a political theory class, which seems to be your laser focus. Pound was, and this cannot be emphasized enough, NOT Carl Schmitt! He was a poet!

There's a reason Schmitt is still taught in political theory classes and D'Annunzio less so.

I realize that. And though it makes little sense to claim that he is taught in English classes for his politics, that appeared to be your claim. Otherwise, you're only point is that Pound is taught at all. Ofc that's true and I have no idea why you'd think that worth a remark

"And though it makes little sense to claim that he is taught in English classes for his politics, that appeared to be your claim." Um, there's a pretty big literature on how politics shapes the literary canon that you might want to consider.
