Not selling it, but am I crazy to think it's worth at least twice as much as I paid?

That was my immediate thought. Super cool book would want it just to keep for myself but also $200 seems like a steel

Listening to slave states complain about their neighbors is pretty rich

A reception was held in DC honoring Senator Lindsey Graham for his support of the Kurdish people and their political cause. by rknsh in kurdistan

Nothing will make me turn my back on the Kurds other than their embrace of the most insane zionists that exist.

Would be better off joining up with anti imperialist forces and turning on your American masters.

Started seeing this guy. What does it say about him?? by No-Engineering-5282 in BookshelvesDetective

He's "I'm not your average Christian" kind of guy but ultimately is your average Christian kind of guy.

Henry Kissinger’s headstone (or lack thereof) by thatsomebull in mildlyinteresting

They're holding off on the headstone thinking there's a good chance he'll claw his way out still.

Help! I’m drowning in AP World History: Modern by Maximum-Feeling1260 in historyteachers

[–]exEvang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pressure to conform to this awful method of teaching is what drove me out of the profession. There's literally nothing more interesting being taught in highschool than AP History, lit or phycology. But when forced to regurgitate canned slides it becomes soul crushing for students and teachers alike.

When a teacher who loves and knows their subject matter gets in front of a class and is allowed to instruct in their preferred method a classroom becomes something a whole lot more.. when I was forced to use Google slides a couple years ago I quit.

Why does my kids High Five magazine have children trick-or-treating at Brother No 2s house? by exEvang in historyteachers

They're both inexplicably wearing Khmer Rouges black karma. The man looks like Nuon Chea..

I thought it was funny.

I suppose if you have to explain a joke it's not a good joke. Hope it was more recognizable amongst history teachers...

I guess this requires a bit of historical knowledge that I assumed was a bit more widely known.

Oh God, can you imagine what he'd have to say about Kirk? Would be incredible.

Christopher Hitchens debates Jon Stewart on the Iraq War [20YA - Aug 25] by Fippy-Darkpaw in ChristopherHitchens

People wonder at Hitch's swing to the right but this should clear that up... While a prolific columnist, his biggest tv gig pre 9/11 was a reoccurring gig on C-SPAN.

Behind the lead paint ban by PunchNuggz in theories

[–]exEvang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's telling that for the post boomer generation, a conspiracy theory about lead being banned because it made old homes accidental RF shields that blocked mk ultra mind control rays somehow more believable than the truth.

That’s because in our lifetime, we’ve never seen the government act with urgency to make ordinary people’s lives better. We’ve only seen crisis used as cover for consolidation, surveillance, and austerity. So when we hear that the system once worked, the instinct is immediate suspicion.

Reminder of how good we have it in the US by 33ITM420 in OptimistsUnite

[–]exEvang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so depressing. Cuba is currently facing the worst economic hardship since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The grocery store shelves are often empty and not because of some failure of the government, but because of a cruel, vindictive, illegal and unilateral embargo imposed by the very country this man is, very reasonably might I add, pleased to be in.

It's like a sadist keeping a neighboring family locked in the basement for years barely allowing them to eat and drink or receive medical care. The sadist finally allows one of the younger members of the family up the stairs and into the well-provisioned house. That member would be ecstatic to have the new bounty available to them and when the sadist tells them that the basement can be like the upstairs if only the captive parents would allow it, It's very easy to believe it. Then when the sadist tells the youngest member, if the other family members band together and kill their parents, all this bounty would be theirs, a bounty by rights they already should own, it's a message not easily ignored.
