        Based on the url I'm guessing it's a link to Edward Said's work on Orientalism if you wanted to find it

          Cool. Is it worth? Does it explain why Asia is special and can't have shitty dystopian (as if there's another kind) monarchies like literally everywhere else?

            It's definitely worth a read, the concept of Orientalism is really important to understanding how western media portrays the rest of the world. It's a pretty important text for understanding more modern literary and political theory

              I've heard of it! Had brief explanations from my lit prof dad! But I don't think asia is special. I think kings are shit. The tankie gaslighting is really fucking gross.
