While I didn’t write this, it’s copypasta, it doesn’t seem to be AI-generated. Someone made a list article somewhere about Disco Elysium and then mentioned lawns are fascist, and someone wrote up this copypasta.

17·2 years agoAwesome! Thank you for telling me about Scribd downloader and finding the first book.
As for the Academia.edu link, it doesn’t seem like premium will provide the PDF, that’s just premium membership. The actual PDFs are governed by individual authors. Seems that author uploaded a preview of the book perhaps to indicate that they contributed to it so it counts as a citation.

1·2 years agoI did ask them to check if they could access it through interlibrary loan. We’ll see. Buying the book seems prohibitive though. It’s highway robbery prices.

Issues in Political Theory (4th edn, 2019)

Rethinking political thinkers (1st edn, 2023)
Yes, I’m aware Issues has pirated versions of earlier editions available, I have those already. I’m hoping for the latest version.

8·2 years agoThat works quite well in my country, where book piracy isn’t as policed, but that’s not an option for me because I can’t access or buy a physical copy.

Luigi didn’t do it though. He’s being set up by the prosecution.
