F. Thot Fitzgerald’s Reviews > Slumbering Ember > Status Update

I’m trying so hard to not judge this book, but this author is not making it easy. They are now calling protesters “rioters.” I read this book because I wanted an urban fantasy. I did not want, nor request, a bullshit liberal story that doesn’t even understand how capitalism, communism, or Socialism works. The capitalist propaganda is real.

“[socialism] then leaves the lazy not to aspire for anything. Or not to see the point in trying because...well, why try when you can’t get rich?”
This idea that people will be lazy is so FUCKED. 1. Who cares? Like why do you care? 2. That wouldn’t be everyone. Some lady may find the cure for cancer. 3. Why does everyone have to work? Slavery got folks in a chokehold.

Yoooooo this book, I’m trying to not be mean but y’all wtf is this:
“Still, Matt didn’t get [socialism] since he’d also seen the bad side. Someone down the block clearly didn’t want to work, and Matt had overheard her bitch and moan about having to attend a course on how to write good job applications in order to receive benefits.”
The bad side is ONE person doesn’t want to work?!?! Ok 🥴🥴🥴
