Only tangentially on topic, but is anyone else shocked by how little Harper Lee knew about Mockingbirds?
Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.
I used to be blessed to have a window facing a sidewalk with a mockingbird nest. Got to watch the aggressive little f^$%ers attack random passers by for my entertainment all day.
They live in the entire United States south of Montana and the entire eastern seaboard. I don't respect Harper's observations on anything.
The pleasantry bird chiping and singing is really just an illusion of our minds from the familiarity and tone of the noises they make.
In reality, they are closer to crazy hobos yelling at people on the street going, "FUCK YOU DIS MINE" and "EEY BITCH WANT SUM FUCK" or just "WUUUAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH"

In many ways, it describes the behaviour of the jogger problem in first-world nations; thus, unironically, the novel's title makes complete sense, only unintentionally so by Harper.
After Go Set a Watchman was released, I think we can all conclude that she only made such a "timeless and resonating" novel by accident and wasn't all that otherwise.
Granted, she was smart enough to never release that herself, and her publisher(?) did so against her wishes after her death so I don't fault her. But its existence shows where her mind was and it was very stupid.

She was a retarded propagandist piece of shit whose garbage novel is forced on kids to defang their natural suspicion of blacks and weirdos.
