I'm sick of doomer posts and I want to laugh at hidden weird reactionary sentiments in children's books.

    given how angry people are getting over my slight discomfort with this book, I don't want to cause another struggle session so I'd rather not

        oh yeah I think anyone who feels skeptical about the premise of Lord of the Flies is likely to be a communist, but then again it's probably also true if you aren't skeptical about it at all. But I also don't want to get into an anarchist vs ML struggle session
