I feel like I should read some of his essays and then sit down to watch it. I’ve heard a few “songs” from it only. It does seem rather terrible. I could channel him for a bit

Gore Vidal once told journalists Paul Jay that within Vidal’s milieu—upper-class WASPs—the sentiment is that only they are full human beings, and that everyone else, to one degree or another, is subhuman. It takes a real class traitor to reveal that secret, and it helps to explain why the billionaire class has been politically and economically sheltered during the COVID19 crisis, while the rest of us have been told to go fuck ourselves.
