the author is ignorant, petty, + unwise lmfao

Summary: a young woman writes a book relentlessly criticizing her chronically ill mother. author has moved away to China, leaving her widowed sad mother in Venezuela, and feels some guilt about this, which she blames on Hugo Chavez."

Andrea Dworkin
“The genius of any slave system is found in the dynamics which isolate slaves from each other, obscure the reality of a common condition, and make united rebellion against the oppressor inconceivable.”
Andrea Dworkin

Wendell Berry
“For agrarians, the correct response is to stand confidently on our fundamental premise, which is both democratic and ecological: the land is a gift of immeasurable value. If it is a gift, then it is a gift to all the living in all time. To withhold it from some is finally to destroy it for all. For a few powerful people to own or control it all, or decide its fate, is wrong.”
Wendell Berry, The World-Ending Fire: The Essential Wendell Berry

Noam Chomsky
“I think it only makes sense to seek out and identify structures of authority, hierarchy, and domination in every aspect of life, and to challenge them; unless a justification for them can be given, they are illegitimate, and should be dismantled, to increase the scope of human freedom.”
Noam Chomsky

Ivan Illich
“We are the witnesses of a barely perceptible transformation in ordinary language: verbs which formerly expressed satisfying actions have been replaced by nouns which name packages designed for passive consumption only -- 'to learn' becomes 'to accumulate credits'.”
Ivan Illich, The Right to Useful Unemployment: And Its Professional Enemies
