deeply hypocritical of asagiri to try to pivot the story into the fake deep commentary on the state while completely ignoring the question of carceral system even with mersault at the heart of the story for years

#i’m way too tired to say anything of substance but i’ve been thinking abt the way asagiri writes political commentary and oh god #txt.#mersault is a foucaultian nightmare but bc of the way dazai and fyodor are written and directly referred to as 'monsters' (and said comment #being fairly understandable given the way they act) it excuses the structure completely making it seem like a reasonable structure to have #when i finally have time to finish discipline and punish… then maybe i’ll try to make this more coherent #but that will be july at the earliest so uhh whatever #whatever the gist of the thing is that bsd psychological storytelling and doesn’t work once you try to implement any serious social #commentary and also asagiris grasp of political theory seems extremely shallow #like yeah ok you quoted weber once whats next #actually it’s so interesting that theory authors apparently stay as real ppl in bsd ig im never getting a twinkified gilles deleuze…#oh and don’t get me started abt the hunting dogs how are you gonna criticize the state but have them be 'actually good’ bc they care #about civilians they are literally the state power civilians need protection from
