      just finished reading Red Rising, ty @PrinceVogel I think for the recc its a YA novel about a kid who goes to battle school. so its got the same basic structure as Ender's Game, that one with Jennifer Lawrence, harry potter etc well executed, tightly plotted if not literary so

      a common theme in all these books is some Common Man (rare trope these days!!!) shows up in a rarefied space and has to forge a team together to beat some snobs in spite of adults being corrupt and bad, system being messed up, etc this is in *all* of these books

      and universally the idea is that ok so these adults are dicks (maybe a few are ok) and the trick to winning is to become True Friends and find the virtue in even the least of your comrades and even enemies and lift up the broken etc etc

      so my question is. why are the millennials who read these books so fucking bad at taking this universal Moral to heart looking at how my fellow kids are actually living youd think it never occurred to them to wonder. am i the baddie this feels like an indictment of literature

      idk parenting has resurfaced my memories of a lot of kid fiction that yells at adults and mostly has made me reflect on them as "lol that is fun fiction for kids but also the actual thesis is stupid"

      eg the common idea of "wow the adults sure fucked up the world so why not let the kids have a shot?" it works solely as a rhetorical device it does not survive scrutiny or, especially, exposure to the issues https://twitter.com/lizzzzardly/status/1429862928916881411 …

      I mean you can certainly say that I'm begging the question by suggesting that knowledge of the subject beyond sloganeering and well-wishes are useful, when actually they are precisely the toxin that leads to adults screwing up the world you can *say* that

          I thought the first book was good where it was sending up harry potter, like when the prof gets fired after a student dies in an accident a la the troll in the dungeon from hp1, but the characters were just so annoying (yes I know that's the point) that overall I'm meh on it
