Review of 'This Land' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

I was enjoying refreshing my memory about some things in this book, despite some hyperbole and not learning anything new or useful.

Then I saw the reviews and I realized that the author is the guy who told leftwing straight white dudes to abandon their non-straight-white-dude friends to the whims of Donald Trump in 2016. www.thedailybeast.com/anarchists-for-donald-trumplet-the-empire-burn

If
he actually wrote like Edward Abbey like the jacket blurb claims, I might keep reading. But life is short, and I need to spend my time on solutions to the problems straight white dudes with nothing to lose but unearned power have caused the rest of us.
