I love how they call it "late-stage capitalism". Sweetie, capitalism is the most natural and beneficial form of an economic system and will be around for as long as humans are around. I imagine her head would explode if someone sat down and explained that to her.

"Describe" becomes a gerund when you add "-ing" to it, and instead of a verb, functions as a noun - "his running", "her snickering", "their touching". As a noun/gerund, it requires a possessive. HOWEVER, language evolves, and now "Despite me [gerund] is totally accepted", but only in this specific use case. "My [gerund] still holds as the rule, as in "My hiking is difficult".

Hope this helped!

Go read the sacredness of work then go back and read Kaczynski
