hah. I mean, I think criticizing Le Guin as quietist is sometimes reasonable, obviously, since I did that, butseems like a long leap from there to "fascist".

It is and always was just a thought experiment, if the Child goes then Omelas goes "What if the Child is freed but Omelas' prosperity remains" is off the table because it just up and negates the whole concept It was always just a thought-experiment

Well, not *just* a thought experiment -- the idea of Omelas, says Le Guin, is seductive to you because the utopia it represents fills some deep emotional need in you, you need to believe a place like this exists in some imaginary future
