Slept waaaay too long. Oops. That happened after watching what’s going on in DC with piqued interest. I guess Dave Chapelle was playing one of the larger venues in town for its reopening….just before people are going to be forced to wear masks again.
Since I’m scheduled to see a comedy show in the District next weekend, if it happens, I’ll probably have to wear a mask.
So I bought one of these.
The concept of a non-player character seems incredibly appropriate in a locked-down society. Let me see your vaccination record, cretin, I mean citizen!
Would you read a controversial book, such as “Mein Kampf” or “The Communist Manifesto”?
I actually read both of those in college. Both books have to be taken in perspective of the times in which they were written.
The latter fits with Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle. in The Jungle, horrible things happen to the poor protagonist until he joins a labor union, and discovers the greatness of socialism. Mein Kampf could closer to The Jungle, but driven by misplaced blame for all of post-war Germany’s woes (on Jews and Communists).
I will say that Lenin’s writings get down closer to the barbarity that would happen with Communism.
I’m too lazy to find the quote, but there’s a concept that the Venezuelans wanted Sweden, but ended up getting Cuba.
Listening to this.
i don’t have a lot else to say at this point.
