>say "if that's true then how come white people are the master race"
>she laughs that I could never get away with saying this racist shit around a white girl
>I tell her that's why I've got to date brown girls, so I can be my true white supremacist self
>make a hail Hitler salute and laugh, say its okay we're dating because Indians are the original Aryans

>her education has been entirely technical, she has no idea who Mussolini was or what the Italians were doing or what Fascism is

Recently I've been blasting Peste Noire around the house and she's been giving me weird looks, but I really like this girl. Hail Victory my Aryan brother.

Woman can vent but she cannot tell stories. She cannot create narratives without those narratives focusing on victims and victimhood, and this victim has to stand against all the forces which she finds herself resisting in daily life. The purpose of this venting is to be heard.

Man tells his stories without venting. He creates narratives that run the gamut of experience and fantasy. His intentions are to create and entertain, but not necessarily to be heard.

The Recognitions by William Gaddis
>the author is so full of himself. he uses so much adjective and he takes for-ever to get to the point. it's like listening to your english-major friend who has low self-esteem and uses big words often to try and impress you and you have already forgotten what he was trying to say in the first place. the story is just meh.
