Since Le Guin is covered I would like to spptlight Margaret Killjoy as well.

At this point is there anything in the universe that does not constitute an attack against Israel?

I hate articles about market success but I love my boox device… it’s sooo much better than the alternatives it’s not even close. It’s a pity their tablets are becoming more expensive.

Yeah I meant this will be worst than Vietnam if the US goes all in, not if it’s a limited operation.

Yeah, a military economy is a very likely scenario. The religious nutjobs the US got handed as a government by its economic elite elected do admire Russia so perhaps will imitate it economically…

To the people saying this will be like Vietnam: that was a conflict between the rising mightiest superpower the world has ever seen and an agrarian economy that has undergone colonial occupation that had brought it to its knees, the superpower still lost. The current US may be stronger militarily on paper but on every other respect it is in decline (there is a possibility the US military is in decline as well but we cannot see it). I don’t think an attack on Venezuela will go well for the US, in fact a full blown war could be the catalyst that shows the superpower’s weaknesses more than anything else.

Even more likely: they displace or kill the entire population and the land and city is left empty for the next century. My case point is northern Cyprus although the scale and brutality of what we are currently witnessing is not comparable.

Probably a bot, the Internet is infested at this point. Head over to reddit and half the comments sound the same…

Much heavier than what you are asking but worthwhile nevertheless:

A New History of Western Philosophy by Anthony Kenny

The title says it all, it passes through most of the important philosophers of the western tradition. It is perfect to understand what (academic) philosophy is all about. Took me four months to finish but it was definitely worth it.
