You are basically describing the propagandized version of Salazar
>oh woe is me I don't want to be in charge but I have to step up to the plate
>I balanced the budget and separated myself from power

>>739018
That's the Cinncinatus myth

>>739026
One of my professors was from Chile and I wasn't sure whether he fled because of Pinochet or if he fled because Pinochet's regime was gone, because he had some unusual political opinions

>>739031
Essentially he didn't really have a problem with authoritarianism, but like he wasn't some hardcore neoliberal type that wanted a free economy or that sort of thing

>>739035
Yeah, except he wasn't from Argentina

>>739034

I never asked for this

In my younger and more vulnerable years my father
gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over
in my mind ever since.

“Whenever you feel like criticising any one,” he
told me, ‘‘just remember that all the people in this
world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”

He didn’t say any more, but we’ve always been
unusually communicative in a reserved way, and I
understood that he meant a great deal more than
that. In consequence, I’m inclined to reserve all
judgments, a habit that has opened up many curi-
ous natures to me and also made me the victim of
not a few veteran bores. The abnormal mind is
quick to detect and attach itself to this quality
when it appears in a normal person, and so it came
about that in college I was unjustly accused of
being a politician, because I was privy to the secret
griefs of wild, unknown men.

ost of the confidences
were unsought—frequently I have feigned sleep,
preoccupation, or a hostile levity when I realized by
some unmistakable sign that an intimate revelation
was quivering on the horizon; for the intimate
revelations of young men, or at least the terms in

which they express them, are usually plagiaristic
and marred by obvious suppressions. Reserving
judgments is a matter of infinite hope. I am still a
little afraid of missing something if I forget that, as
my father snobbishly suggested, and I snobbishly
repeat, a sense of the fundamental decencies is par-
celled out unequally at birth.

>>739343

And, after boasting this way of my tolerance, I
come to the admission that it has a limit. Conduct
may be founded on the hard rock or the wet marshes,
but after a certain point I don’t care what it’s
founded on. When I came back from the East last
autumn I felt that I wanted the world to be in
uniform and at a sort of moral attention forever;
I wanted no more riotous excursions with privileged
glimpses into the human heart. Only Gatsby, the
man who gives his name to this book, was exempt
from my reaction—Gatsby, who represented every-
thing for which I have an unaffected scorn.

If per-
sonality is an unbroken series of successful gestures,
then there was something gorgeous about him, some
heightened sensitivity to the promises of life, as if
he were related to one of those intricate machines
that register earthquakes ten thousand miles away.
This responsiveness had nothing to do with that
flabby impressionability which is dignified under the
name of the ‘creative temperament”—it was an
extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness
such as I have never found in any other person and

which it is not likely I shall ever find again. No—
Gatsby turned out all right at the end; it is what
preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the
wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my
interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded
elations of men.

y family have been prominent, well-to-do peo-
ple in this Middle Western city for three generations.
The Carraways are something of a clan, and we have
a tradition that we’re descended from the Dukes
of Buccleuch, but the actual founder of my line was
my grandfather’s brother, who came here in fifty-
one, sent a substitute to the Civil War, and started
the wholesale hardware business that my father car-
ries on to-day.
