this country will not be transformed without addressing policing, prisons, surveillance and militarism. Sorry. Cannot get around it. The carceral socialists may make incremental progress but they will ALWAYS come up against state violence.

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

I remember a critic (but not his name) who boiled that kinda stuff down to “cultural criticism” as opposed to actual “literary criticism”. It’s especially disappointing, since prose and structure make up such a large part of how the weird achieves its effect.

My problem is with how Fisher uses the term “weird”. I took his thesis to be that the weird fiction genre concerns itself with confrontations with metaphysical *wrongness* with the world, which could be positive - the presence of something which exists but should not, which he calls “weird” - or /
