Jeezus… I wrote this over two years ago and you’re only giving me crap about it now.
Actually, I’m wrong here; now embarrassingly so. About Communism and what it actually is and where it comes from (sort of). Your statement is still ignorantly offensive, though I now read it as more to do with cultural ignorance/superiority about Japan and the US (Lost in Translation style) than anything actually about Communism (which is simply used, badly, to illustrate this). My point is rethought, two years after the fact. We live and learn.
Oh, I never said you were subversive (I said South Park was almost subversive). And you’re right, you’re not assumptive, either. You’re just historically incorrect. So are your so-called ‘readers’, and so was the 18-year-old me who wrote this (though in a different way, but the sentiment still stands).
I find it somewhat amusing that you’re getting so upset over this now… nevermind how you found this in the first place. Think of it as free advertising for your fic. As to why I didn’t message you personally… God. Why would I bother? I don’t write into the newspaper every time I have a problem with its editorials, and nothing I can ever say is going to convince you of anything (and conversley, nothing you can ever say is going to convince me of anything either).
Oh, and I never pretended to be a saint. And certainly never not a hypocrite. Try a different tack and maybe I will feel even mildly insulted.
Leyawn.
[b]edit :
/b] I actually find it somewhat amusing that you seem to have posted about this as a friend’s only post in your LiveJournal. After chewing me out about being secretive and not confronting you face to face, that’s pretty goddamn funny.<div class=”small”>Edited 17 Mar 04 @ 12:32 am by <a href=”profile.php?userID=1”>loqia</a>.</div>
