fuck yes, this! if there exists a shimmer of another possible world, why doesn’t it rupture everything in this fantasy? why the fuck would you write a story that takes new possibilities and shackles them to the horizon of our neo-liberal world??
i know that’s the concept, but i think it’s an apt name for the genre known as “magical realism”. except smug liberals would hate to admit to themselves that their ideology has a choke point
