It seems like you’re mischaracterizing the tone of this essay.
I just read it as a thoughtfully developed history of a familiar subject, published in a regional lifestyle magazine, but you seem to be responding to it as if its some moralizing Twitter screed.
Did I miss something?
- swayvil 4y agoThe twitter-screed is the social-media equivalent of the amp-hour. This power is generated, transmitted and consumed. It drives our dramatic hamster-wheels.
- Isamu 4y ago>It drives our dramatic hamster-wheels. Thank you for today’s most quotable metaphor!
- UIUC_06 4y agoMaybe you missed the cancel-LHOTP movement, e.g. someone else on the thread posted this: https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/09/little-house-on-the-prairie-conservatism-214237/ https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/09/little-house... a heading is "To Live the Impossible Dream." Do we find any sympathetic treatment of Laura in this article? Or is it purely debunking?
- krapp 4y agoSo you posted a low quality, snarky reply to a completely different article?
- UIUC_06 4y agoNo, I posted a high-quality reply to the subtext of THIS article. It was pure debunking for a political end and didn't deserve a lengthy, objective answer.
- krapp 4y agoI think your definition of 'high-quality' differs from the community norm.
- swatcoder 4y agoThis article strongly recommends two books be read together for those who want deep and multi-dimensional insight into the history of Wilder and LHOP, and surfaces some details from each while grounding it in personal experience, for a casual audience of middle class Montanans. Readers, it would seem, are expected to come out of it having something fresh and interesting to talk about on their hike or over Sunday dinner. If there’s something political in your experience of it, that would seem to be through subjective associations of your own, not a subtext.
