You are delusional and a downright pathetic clown. We all saw the post by Clancy and it was in no way a direct attack against you but a complete joke. The reason it was a joke is because almost everyone on substack considers you a grifter and a joke. You post the most inane boomer tier shit on here.

Your whole act is the corny Daria Morgendorfer "I'm a smart girl who reads!!" trope. Do you really think people haven't read Dostoevsky? Most of us read him in High School. Your analysis of great literature is vapid, lukewarm, safe-right wing nonsense we all posted over a decade ago. The literary equivalent of statue posting on Twitter.

People make fun of you and your mostly boomer followers because your whole vibe is cringe as fuck. It's literary pick-me energy that gives most people second-hand embarrassment. You are right about the publishing industry, no shit, we all know that, what are you going to tell us next, that WWF isn't real?

Giving us lists of greats like Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Tarkovsky, etc. that everyone knows about is straight up poser shit.

“Straight up poser shit” I can hear the SoCal in you.

You know, for someone who clams to hate Liza so much, you do seem to secretly love her. Why else would you obsessively comment to her notes and articles? Is it simply for the engagement and a need for a semblance of relevancy? Thus proving the point of her article?

seriously, this is so cringe. you don't know anything about the guy you're going after, this campaign is making you look all kinds of ways. calling someone a nobody compared to you then leveling a coordinated attack against him is like.. I don't even know, is this your villain era?

What did he even say that was so maddening?

its the two wolves note she posted a screenshot of. Clancy is a solid dude, he was being cheeky, it wasn't that serious. but her previous note about McDonalds and Dostoevsky understandably got lots of people feeling ways, they restacked with opinions, and now that must mean there's a coordinated attack because lots of folks disagreed with her all at once.

What exactly are these original ideas you are so willing to bravely stand behind?

nope nope nope...Clancy is an A-class dude, would never hurt anyone and is responsible for so much good here on Substack. If you have a problem with Clancy, work it out with him in private. This is a cringe overreaction and in poor taste.

I see little difference between an account with 2k subs poking fun at an account with 8k subs, and the account with 8k subs ridiculing NYT bestselling selling authors.

The secondhand embarrassment I got from reading this little tirade has made me physically uncomfortable. Why would anyone post this?

You had me at Tarkovsky. (Just recently re-watched Stalker) Excellent post.

What exactly was “excellent” about her post?
