>"Early in the novel, Ignatius tells us, “I am an anachronism. People realize this and resent it.” In 1968, Toole’s hero mystified one of the country’s finest editors of fiction (Robert Gottlieb). In 1980, he seemed harmless. Forty years later, this red-pilled malcontent calling for a theofascist revival seems something else entirely. Ignatius J. Reilly—the godfather of the Internet troll, the Abraham of neckbeards, the 4chan edgelord to rule them all—was no anachronism. He was a prediction."

How does the daily cope of Ignatius has been for you anons?
How are you holding up? Are you satisfied with viener tote market demographics? What have you done today for the rights of proletariat? Why its so hard to admit oneself that most of your problems would cease if you touched grass more often?
