"Polits have a middle-class upbringing and usually come from the suburbs. Some are accused have having oedipal issues with their parents. They resent the insinuations, but dig the literary allusion."
— The Hipster Handbook. The text that first profiled me as a hipster back in 2003. When it said “they have been known to decorate…with mounted deer heads” or “Polits who are editors often get fired for writing bold notes in the margins like, ‘this paragraph sucks’ or, ‘you sound a bit like a Nazi in this passage, don’tcha think?’” Since someone once dubbed me “The Destroyer of Hope” as an editor and since I have a mounted deer head in my living room, it’s no wonder that I’ve been in despair.
