sabotabby After a round of internet arguments (not on DW, elsewhere) I am left to conclude that the two major problems of pop cultural criticism are 1) A Modest Proposal is no longer taught in schools*, and 2) no one on the online left has actually read as much Bertolt Brecht as they claim to, if any at all.
I am happy to elaborate in comments.
* I am generally in favour of replacing Dead White Guy Literature in the compulsory high school canon but A Modest Proposal is my one exception. I am open to replacements and expansions for it, particularly by First Nations, Métis, or Inuit authors. Walking Eagle News is great and I absolutely plan to use it.
