Any important literary work is like the Trojan Horse at the time it is produced. Any work with a new form operates as a war machine, because its design and its goal is to pulverize the old forms and formal conventions. It is always produced in hostile territory. And the stranger it appears, nonconforming, unassimilable, the longer it will take for the Trojan Horse to be accepted. Eventually it is adopted, and, even if slowly, it will eventually work like a mine. It will sap and blast out the ground where it was planted. The old literary forms, which everybody was used to, will eventually appear to be outdated, inefficient, incapable of transformation.

~ Monique Wittig, "The Trojan Horse"

some people would rather shot themselves in their foot rather than go forward.

just like many liberals and some leftists would rather self-sabotage any of their "core" goals - rather than losing their ability to fetishize over what and whom doesn't have agency, according to them.

seriously.

it mainly concerns right-wingers, but leftists too can be driven by ressentiment, clearly.
