Ursula LeGuin puts the publishers in their place
(lemmy.world)
Not really a meme, I know, but I thought this was amazing and worth sharing and I didn't know where else to share it on Lemmy.
Ursula LeGuin was an incredible person and, although she did live a long life, her death was still a huge loss.
And it's now 2024, and nothing has changed. Maybe for the worse.
You're not wrong, but when you compare the general perspective of baby boomers vs the general perspective of Millennials/Zoomers, you can at least see that there now exists a will for change.
I like to think that maybe Ursula LeGuin was able to play a role in that change through her words.
yea change takes time and active effort, the fact that corporate interference is so present in the newer generation's minds is already a massive step in the right direction, doomerism (as always) does jack shit for fuck to actually solve anything
And a czar was killed by a revolutionary’s bomb decades before the first of the three socialist revolutions of Russia. Will is slow to build and spent suddenly.
Honestly the last decade plus does feel like the lead up paragraph in a history textbook to some major paradigm shift. But it could still be years and years away. But it does feel inevitable.
