Cormac McCarthy situation is disappointing. Hell, I just got a new edition of Blood Meridian last week. I won’t stop reading his work, but it does make me less eager to get to it all, eh.

A rich, white Male rapist feeling the consequences of his actions? In the year 2024 i did not expect that.
Didnt expect brands to cut ties with him etc.
Good, but sadly the right wing will embrace him fully and give him a platform etc.

Conor McGregor’s wife also seems like a real piece of work…

Its sad to see.
The Man even treated her bad, was sleeping around openly etc and yet she is willing to ignore all that.
Either for the money and lifestyle he offers her and her children, or because she really thinks so low of herself that she defends him still.
I dont know which one is sadder.

I continue to be baffled that men like this don't realize they're the bad guys. This is not normal behavior. This is not something well adjusted people do.

Echo chambers help reinforce to themselves they are doing the "right thing" and this is how it "used to be and should be again" while failing to accept that we don't do things like that because they were never the right way to.
