Can’t believe this came from Vonnegut. He was a leftist. (But maybe sane)
Vonnegut was an anti-authoritarian leftist. Harrison Bergeron is about when authoritarianism and egalitarianism meet in the extreme. I believe Vonnegut was in the late stages of losing his mind when he got pretty famous for speaking out against Bush and praising terrorists.
My favorite thing from him was one of his rules of short story writing, "Start as close to the end as possible." The other was him showing up in Rodney Dangerfield's "Back to School" as himself when Dangerfield's character hired Vonnegut to write a paper on for him on one of Vonnegut's books. The paper got him an F because according to the teacher whoever wrote it knows nothing about Vonnegut.
