Is this ironic? US elections are the perfect example of how bourgeois democracy works (bourgeoisie maintains state power) and how it isn't democracy (bourgeois parties maintain monopoly control over the electoral process, the actual vote doesn't determine election but an independent electoral body does, etc.).

People who read books are significantly less likely to be depressed than average. Reading is not associated with the depressed loner or the misunderstood genius, but with the contrarian narcissist who delights in intellectually looming over his peers by weight of allusion. This is particularly true of purists of "literary fiction", who are without reservation the most hollow, puffed up jackasses to consume mainstream media.

There is nothing more empty and pathetic than attempting to live a literary life. I come here only to sneer at people who romanticize their alcoholism or posture over rediscovering an enlightened version of religion.
