A few years ago, the German writer Hans Magnus Enzensberger wrote a fascinating essay about the “radical loser.” Radical losers are mostly young men who are so enraged by their own lack of social, economic, and sexual self-esteem and the indifference of the world around them, that they long for a suicidal act of mass destruction.
几年前，德国作家汉斯·恩森斯伯格写了一部讲述“激进失败者”的著名小说。所谓激进失败者就是那些在社会，经济和性方面缺乏自信且对周围世界的冷漠恼怒不已的年轻人，这些人长期幻想着制造一场破坏巨大的自杀式行为。
