She is an icon!
I LIKED READING NORMAL PEOPLE BY SALLY ROONEY.
Who
No idea.
Sally Rooney, a writer
That's what I was thinking. 'The Voice of a Generation'?? Hilarious, even funnier when you listen to what she has to say.
She’s an antisemitic dilettante. Boycott her books!
No she isn't antisemitic.
@ okay, she is just totally biased against Jews. Maybe she met Roger waters.
no dont worry, shes not antisemitic, shes just speaking up against the atrocities committed against the palestinians. She just cares about basic human rights!
@@ciaranlaurings9326 well she doesn’t seem to care at all about the Jewish lives lost in the October 7 massacre by hamas. Steongly favoring one side over the other is a form of discrimination. She should be ashamed of herself!
Good luck with that. She’s anti-genocide.
Marx was wrong. It is amazing that people still take him seriously.
doubt if you read him...probably 2nd hand views?
@@stevepinhorn5888 I've read him, and that masochistic effort represents months of my life I'll never get back. Ultimately his is a religious worldview buttressed with pseudo-science.
