wish I could force some people to read mother night tbh

#like i dont know anyone *that* extreme obviously but i know some people who could use that moral lesson #like sure you dont hold those beliefs but youre still doing the active harm #you are who you portray or however he put it #'We are what we pretend to be so we must be careful what we pretend to be.' #i need to read more vonnegut tbh #i loved cats cradle and mother night but found slaughterhouse 5 kind of hard to read #but still good #especially the combination of care and apathy #mainly the dichotomy between the woman asking him to name the book 'the childrens crusade' vs 'so it goes' #he wanted to portray how deeply horrible it all was but... theres so much what can you do? so it goes #i will say theres more to unpack with slaughterhouse 5 and cats cradle though #i love mother night a lot but its very cut and dry for a vonnegut novel #and vonnegut said as much #anyway #i think with where i live some people could stand to read kt #im not sure kts a greater phenomenon #it.might be #but its definitely A Thing where i live #nd like.... there r so many people i know where like.. i know somewhere theyre decent and want to be decent but just want to fit in but... #have a moral backbone would you?
