    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.
