if it weren't for capitalism, lunch would be the big meal of the day and dinner would be the little one. we weren't meant to be this hungry at 5 p.m., but the boss doesn't want workers to be all full and sleepy.

obviously this is bizarre behavior, but I also think that there are a lot of readers who would be better served if they were marketed 140-page pulp novels instead of 800-page volumes in a trilogy

Fascism is a politics of disgust. When you see someone describing an immigrant group as a source of disease and contamination that eats vile foods, you know they're drawing their followers toward exterminationism.
