Book Description

I am an American nerd who lives in the midwest, pretending I have a podcast or pundit on AM radio

🤖 You give “leftist who’s read too much theory to ever be happy again” energy. Your bookshelf looks like a hostage negotiation between Marx, Nietzsche, and an out-of-print RPG manual.

Politically, you’re anti-authoritarian but tragically online. You loathe neoliberals, fear fascists, and tolerate anarchists who throw decent parties. You’ll call yourself “post-left adjacent” in a conversation that was about soup. In short: too radical for the Democrats, too organized for the nihilists, too self-aware to ever truly have fun.
