Pro-socialist/Anti-Capitalist fiction books

John Steinbeck's later years are probably at least problematic, but i think The Grapes of Wrath is excellent and it doesn't get brought up discussing socialist literature. It's an amazing book just due to the writing but it touches on a lot of core socialist values, the oppression of the proletariat, capitalist destruction of the environment, the need for solidarity, etc. When i bring it up most people wave it off as a book they had to read in school I read it on my own in my twenties and it's still one of my favorite books with Flowers for Algernon.

How do you older Lemmy users feel about the large influx of reddit users?

Reply in thread

I am a reddit migrant, but I've been lurking off and on for a year or so. Honestly it has a feel like it could be like reddit was a long time ago, smaller communities, more engagement with people that really care about the community, and communities that really feel niche. One of the things that's sucked to watch on Reddit is the amount of random communities I run into on all that aren't gaming or another animes soft core hentai subreddits has decreased significantly. So it feels like there are 10 meme subreddits that all post the same picture, 5 politics subreddits that all post the same stories and memes, and then various popular subreddits that just aren't something I'm into like formula1. I miss finding new interests on all, for example it got me into fountain pens. Or at the very last allowing non-drawn nsfw content on all kept me scrolling long enough to find it lmao.

Scroll momentum

I'm on .33 and agree with OP scrolling feels a little stuttery and stops abruptly when my finger comes up. I have a low end phone from last year, but text and images never give me any issues even with a full cache.

So... Joel or Mike?

I'll throw a vote in for Joel, I liked the goofier feel of the show. I also don't think anyone else has captured the relationship dynamic with the bots as well as he did, some of my favorite bits in the show are Joel caught between being the parent and of the kids.
