Don’t base your politics on fictional books oh my god most writers will sacrifice the accuracy and potency of their message for the story arc (think: Zootopia) and entertainment value because if you don’t do that it’s actually a morality fable or allegory which Tumblr users famously don’t like (example: I don’t see people cite “It Can’t Happen Here” because, I’ve been told, it’s too exaggerated [turned out not to be])

If you are basing your understanding of politics on fiction your judgment is compromised like the books you cite

#nearly every single book I’ve seen cited here is an example of ‘prioritizing entertainment over accuracy’#yes that one too #no no I ESPECIALLY mean that one #that one didn’t even try to maintain the illusion of accuracy???#tumblr users when books draw things to their logical conclusions: obviously this isn’t real what a propagandist #tumblr users when books pull their punches: wow this writing really taught me so many things about life and how politics works #and then you wonder why Trump won election #it’s because Dunning-Kruger is running amok amongst citizens across the political spectrum #and when you promote a book as accurate when it’s not #YOU are veering dangerously close to propaganda and high control groups #you’re faking it to you make it too close to the sun!!!
