#noooooo got to talk about the stupid Trump supporters
Text
The political messaging in SSPX is so tone deaf in universe that's it's so hard to take at face value because it's like
CIA: *lies to everyone about the true nature of events and hides a whole lot of secrets*
Some people: hey, it seems like the CIA is lying to us about the true nature of events and is hiding a whole lot of secrets
Stuart Gibbs: those people are idiots, fyi
#spy school#i probably made this post before but someone asked me why the book disappointed me#and the politics is a not insignificant part of it#and you go through your life knowing people hate you a think you're stupid#but you deal with it because you know you're not#and then it gets in a messes with something you love dearly#and you know you should have seen it coming you know it should have been bad#but so much of what I loved about the series seemed to get dropped by the wayside in favor of an incredibly poorly handled psa#and it makes me mad y'know#and it *is* purely political#none of the things they talk about are things the target audience will actually deal with#those aren't the dangers they face on the internet#noooooo got to talk about the stupid Trump supporters#and no I'm not reading to much into that#the first guy to attack ben is clearly described as wearing a red baseball cap#and if the book came out pre-2015 okay fine that's just a detail#but that's had connotations for a while now and i can't believe mr. gibbs was unaware of them#and i am forced to assume he was deliberately invoking them
