Hillbilly Elegy is alright tbh. I suspect it's because it was written before JD became famous, so it naturally came across as more honest than if it had been written afterwards.

It kind of is bullshit though. His mom was an addict but Middletown is a nice city near Cincinnati and he was raised by his well-off grandparents from like age 10. He has more in common with suburban kids with an alchie parent that with the crushing misery of the white working poor he used to make himself famous. Like that sucks for him, but he's the pillbilly equivalent of a wigger who grew up in Naperville but says he's from south Chicago.

Did you read it? He didn't lie about any of that in the book, in fact he was honest about his grandparents being more well-off. I guess he's not really a true hillbilly but he never said he was, in fact the whole book is mostly just dunking on them.

I can't speak for the book because I didn't read it, but on the Hillbilly Elegy film his grandparents didn't look well-off. They seemed like a blue-collar family, not poor but like low-middle-class by burger standards.

He talks about how his grand parents had over 100k household income but spent money like poor people and constantly bought useless shit. The recurring theme of the book is that they escaped the holler but kept the dysfunctional culture

Is being a fat b-word part of that culture? Because that describes the only one I've had to run into.

Hollywood bastardized a true story because the lie looked better on camera? Say it ain't so!

It's some random Ohioan rambling about his difficult childhood and attempting to extrapolate that into understanding the problems of Appalachia. Fits well with the rest of his reading list

Its literally like
I come from a thousand year lineage of scottish r-slurs
My hyperviolent grandsires got paid a bajillion 1950s bucks to smelt coal and box each other on the weekend
.
My lineage into the clinton administration is still a bunch of r-slurred hoes but we forgot how to box
I join the millitary where they teach me advanced concepts like compound interest
, swear loyalty to the republican party because hate wiggers

That's what conjugal visits are for! (That reminds me. It's funny that libs/whoever came up with conjugal visits think prisoners being deprived s*x in prison in unacceptable but law abiding incels should just be happy never having s*x).

It's definitely much better than Homo Deus which is when he started to become a quack, but it suffers from pop history syndrome (covering too much stuff, oversimplifying), the behavioral modernity stuff on the book (cognitive revolution) for instance is still a debate but Harari states it as a fact.

Being wrong isn't "edgy" sweaty just like being interesting doesn't mean it's "pseudoscience".
Hope you learn from this.
