A character in this book I'm reading is a refugee from Bosnia. She speaks a "guttural" language. Slavic languages are NOT guttural. She expresses astonishment at seeing "hills with flags stuck all over it". Does that douchebag seriously think people from Bosnia don't know what a fucking golf course is?

“Our initial goal was to kickstart discussion and debate around authoritarian measures justified in the name of public health, such as curfews, lock-downs, stay-at-home orders, and the like, for at the time the subjects were still taboo, and a bizarre sort of conformist groupthink seemed to be the norm both in anarchist circles and in the Left more generally.“
