Essential reading. Ice - 9 and Breakfast Of Champions.

He was a leftie, but of a sensible kind
He even predicted part of the SJW shit in one of his stories, where everyone was forced equal

Isn't he a socialist

Vonnegut is great. Very few writers have written about the human condition in such humorous and clever ways. Redpilled on some things, not so much on others. He was a well known humanist after all. Kurt knew how humans were but still had faith in them. An admirable trait but ultimately fatal.

Ice-9 is the weapon. The book is called "Cat's Cradle" you fucking mongloid.

Good book though...

His short story "Harrison Bergeron" is a must read. The dude was very perceptive of such egalitarian political movements.

>"Harrison Bergeron" is a satirical and dystopian science-fiction short story written by Kurt Vonnegut and first published in October 1961. Originally published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, the story was republished in the author's Welcome to the Monkey House collection in 1968.
Replacing the economic equality with the over-stretched one, i.e. complete equality in terms of equal looks, brains and body, the story satirizes the American Cold War overreaction to Soviet society. The real target of satire is revealed at the end of the story with the main character breaking the law of gravity to achieve his over-stretched idea of freedom, and declaring himself "the Emperor".[1]

Actually satirizing the US instead of egalitarian societies according to (((wikipedia)))

How is emulating aspects of the soviet union an "overreaction" to it?

>>135417165
hahahaha, I love when leftist pieces of shit try to shoe-horn an artist they otherwise THINK they enjoy into their narrow ideology

Harmony Korine is funny like this. Tons of SJWs rage at him for being horribly racist and problematic, and then some smart Bernie-donating faggots think he's pushing Cultural Marxism with them (even though he said his commie parents disowned him for refusing to make Marxist propaganda)
