You know what the worst part of this image is? The book is in Spanish. This image is not in America, it's in a Spanish-speaking country that is adopting American progressive language because of the pressures of American hegemony. Their own language and history erased just because some NGOs in another country decided it was best for people to use the word Latinx.

I have a severely autistic attachment to nobility and influence. I have hundreds of pages of notes and research saved for a book I want to write one day. I always imagine myself as a successful writer and thinker in the future by picturing a Wikipedia article about me. I love to read Wikipedia pages on famous people and authors just because I find it fascinating when people are canonized in history and looked back upon by future generations for guidance. Because of this I always fantasize living an aristocratic life of sorts -- a well-paying job, a nice large house, a massive library, beautiful wife and kids, several books penned by me, and high prestige within my diaspora community. It's kind of pathetic.
