      Arthur Chu Retweeted David Bowles (hiatus to write GÜERO sequel)  🏳️‍🌈

      One of my favorite examples of horseshoe theory (one with a pedigree going back to Adorno's straight-up racist loathing of jazz) is "radical leftists" who have the same cultural opinions as Victorian aristocrats Lotta them commenting on this threadhttps://twitter.com/DavidOBowles/status/1333636964956987393?s=19 …

      Nobody with a shitty, reactionary, regressive take on the classics in the classroom today ... ... actually knows a GODDAMN THING about literacy or the point to English instruction in public schools. Hint, dumbasses: it's NOT to churn out English majors. 1/

      There is a quite serious link between the "radical left" and the "radical right" that Marx himself struggled against in his lifetime Like if you actually seriously have a "decline" view of history - capitalism keeps making things worse and worse! - you are not a Marxist

      If you actually think those horrible multinational corporations are worse for the world than kings and queens and landed gentry you're a fake leftist, if you buy into "authenticity discourse" about how life was more REAL in medieval Christian villages etc you're a fake leftist

      If you keep invoking the catchy phrase "late capitalism" as though to imply it's somehow a worse time to be alive than "early capitalism" you're a fake leftist If you go on rants about "mass culture" and "lowest common denominators" you're a fake leftist

      I don't even really have strong opinions on what an English curriculum would look like - it's a question I am glad is no longer relevant to my life in any capacity - but all these people getting their underwear in a wad over even floating the possibility of reform are dicks

          My own take on culture is that there always has been and always will be trash - trash food, trash books, trash music - and trash is what makes life worth living Any revolution whose goal is cleaning up the trash and building a more wholesome and virtuous world can eat my dick

          Replying to @arthur_affect

          I’m a little uncomfortable that he brings up the Ramayana. There’s some stickiness in a white dude teaching and dissecting a vaunted religious text, belonging to largely non-white people, as literature. I’m sure it can be done respectfully, but...sticky.

          I think that's a part that's been misunderstood - he's just saying that the white Western people who uphold the idea of a Universal Canon haven't even read that book He said that he doesn't support ANY "classics" in primary/secondary education
