I know. I got about halfway through The Culture Industry and had to put it aside. I do admire his contrariness though. He's like the antidote to the pop culture fixation of, well, everyone and everything. Most snobs are hoary old conservatives of the right. He's a hardcore leftist snob which is kinda hilarious. I also think it's hilarious that he was known as 'Teddy'.

Who today doesn’t read about cosmetic surgery trends and see the high street fill with crop tops, smell that new season’s stench of anxiety and feel their whole beings glaze over with an apathy last experienced watching Jools Holland’s Hootenanny? Isn’t it easier, now, to let ourselves slide, either into the invisibility cloaks of deeply unfashionable bodies or indeed into the Plastic Surgery Group’s recommended chairs, where our nipples will fall to the floor with a muffled clang, along with last year’s tits and tomorrow’s crows feet

Belden had no military experience before joining the YPG. He lived in San Francisco, where he arranged flowers for a living. Before that, he was a self-described lumpenproletariat, a lowlife punk and petty criminal with a heroin habit who started reading Marx and Lenin seriously in rehab. Once sober, he got involved in leftist causes, marching for tenants' rights, blocking evictions, protesting police brutality. As he prepared for the Middle East, his girlfriend thought he was going to do humanitarian work. She was "not stoked," Belden says, to learn that he planned to fight alongside the YPG.
