Edward Said

"Instead of tapping out paragraphs like a cut-rate Edward Said (as if anyone who doesn't already agree is going to bother to read it) you could just be posting poorly sourced accounts of royals acting like privileged cunts and just chuckling when someone bites."

"Said...largely kept his distance from the anti-PC brigade, but he struck up a correspondence with Camille Paglia and, in speeches, issued warnings about the rise of identity politics in universities. 'Victimhood, alas, does not guarantee or necessarily enable an enhanced sense of humanity,' he said."

"we were discussing orientalism and edward said but i could tell a majority of the class seemed disinterested"
