Please don’t read comments until you’ve read this. It is very short and fast to read. It is radicalizing. It is a good short story to send to your friend who needs to understand what capitalism is. LeGuin wrote this in 1973, cementing her status as Chad Supreme of Fuck Mountain. Bow before her might.

If you ever needed a quick allegory to completely blow someone’s head off in a short, powerful way, this is such a good fucking way to do it.
it is not as short, but if you want to read some more really brutal and radicalizing sci-fi go find Bloodchild by Octavia Butler. (is also available as audiobook)
I know some of y’all reading this so start talking damn it
Yeah @bohillers2345 let us know ;P
Contrary to what the left-wing media would have you believe, the child in the basement is no angel.
We just need to go back to a simpler time, when everybody was polite to each other and nobody discussed the child in the basement.
Also speaking of sci-fi writers who whip ass, Harlan Ellison!
Also you’re very welcome :)

You had better be careful, I can feel my wedgie reflex a-twitchin’
I can’t tell you how mad I was, wishing I could go back to that incident and fucking scream at everyone there that I know what they would do because they’re fucking doing it, they’re making their choice, right this moment.
If you don’t feel like this about multiple instances in your past I will question leftist credentials, I ain’t even shy.
