Conservativism is based about sharing your things with those who you love. Not about flaunting your money.

Steinbeck is the great american author. Moby Dick may be the defining novel but Steinbeck had consistency

You. You went wrong, it's an excellent novel. Evidently you have become radicalized by the internet or you lack critical thinking skills because The Grapes of Wrath is very far from "commie shit". If you seethe this hard when you encounter empathy you shouldn't bother reading any more classics.

I don't see my nature reflected in other people. They're disruptive, inconsiderate, and lack general awareness.
