@ProphetsAble @y_akopov William L. Shirer's Berlin Diary and all of his WW2 works highlight the entire British and French diplomatic efforts in the 1930's to appease Hitler and the Nazis, sometimes these efforts were at all costs. Shirer was very critical of this at the time in his private Diary

@GreenPlusAnE Dominion by Tom Holland And Seven types of Atheism by John Grey Both tract unconscious beliefs that stem from Christian practices over the last 2,000 years.

@mburm201 You clearly have read much less than me, otherwise we would not be having this chat. You have no idea what you are talking about, I called you out and your only response is that I am a blowhard. I suggest you start with "The Open Society and its enemies." By Karl Popper

Ayn Rand and her naive understanding of capital and liberty in "Atlas Shrugged" brought many people to my area because it reminded them of "Galt's Gulch." Bought this truck from a Randian who had millions but still took $45k in PPP loan forgiveness. I increasingly loath Rand. https://t.co/ezICQAmdMA

@perk For sure, And most Western Atheism ends up just recycling various Christian thought. Munster Millenarianism and Bolshevism was the same thing. John Gray as an excellent book on this topic. "Seven Types of Atheism"

@alebikexson The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow is a great read that pushes history back and dispells both the "Nobel Savage" narrative and the "Caveman" narrative. Pre-history is much richer than we used to realize

@TheLastFarm Horatio Hornblower series. Fun fact, Gene Roddenberry was inspired by the Hornblower series and based Star Trek on the idea of a crew and its captain operating far away from the home country

@alebikexson All interesting questions I asked myself a few years ago. James C. Scott, in his book (Against the Grain) shows that in a grain settlement, despite worse health, women could give birth every year, while in hunter-gather groups, it was once every 4 years on average.

@dysangelistes @TornadoNate @vitruviankulak Don't think in labels. Read systems of survival by Jane Jacobs
