When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

He died publicly of cancer and stuck it out to the end so there is a bit of a "speak no ill of the dead" deal a lot of people have. Like Kennedy. But yeah. He really wasn't that great politically.

he wrote a heartfelt letter on his deathbed that managed to propel the ndp from nothing to politically relevant

But you who look in angry envy

Be happy that you're at the bottom
Be glad you live hidden in the valley,
In crowded house, at quiet hearth,
And let, who wants live high in danger

Oh, no doubt. But it's hard to deny that it tends to materialize in the hands of teens who think it's the secret to understanding all politics instead of a good jumping-off point.

TIL that Ocasio-Cortez's childhood home proves she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth



Noted idiot pundit Jack Prosobiec John Cardillo (my bad) posted this picture on his Twitter and also claimed she went to "Ivy League" Brown University, which she did not

E2: And then he doubled down by posting pictures of mansions from the same neighborhood, which really just means Ocasio-Cortez's family paid an inflated price just to be in their little house :doh:

Schama's A History of Britain isn't explicitly anti-imperialistic, but does do a good job of showing how the British Empire was murderously exploitative, though his choice to focus on India as main example leaves out how horrible it was in Africa and elsewhere except by extension of what he says elsewhere.

As a warning though, at three volumes it is very long.

I'd deffo count Orwell (weirdness aside) but he's not exactly current. I always like him cause in Road to Wigan pier when he's talking about how socialism is obviously the best system he calls out "Welwyn Garden Socialists" which is exactly what I am :blush:

Late Victorian Holocausts is a really good one, using China, Brazil, and India as it's main case studies. It gets a bit less good the further it gets from it's main focus (he has a bit on the Metis that is barely there, for example), but in general, I'd recommend it.
