You could do the same to “the right to read anywhere” middle of a busy street? Maybe not.

Reply to I read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and I didn't find a deeper meaning in the story. Am I dumb? by -greek_user_06-
I would invite you, if you like, to take moments from the story and turn them into relevant allegory to either your life or society at large.
Like take the Jabberwocky, you could think of it as the ideal hero, someone who takes the magic sword and slays the beast, but based on the nonsense you can figure out that all heroic stories of vanquishing monsters are quite nonsensical as well. Take the glut of superhero movies we have, they are in large part propaganda to get us to root for powerful individuals against a monstrous other. This kind of thinking can be incredibly harmful if we don’t pay attention to the important fact that superheroes are nonsense.
Idk that Carrol intended for that or not but it doesn’t really matter what his intentions are. You can use literature however you like.

Some of you might enjoy Neoreaction: A Basilisk. The author does a deep look into Yudkowsky among some other reactionaries. Menscius Moldbug and Nick Land.
