History’s guidebooks tend to skip the part where the characters don’t realize they’re in the final chapters. Turns out, civilizational collapse feels a lot like a Tuesday—until it doesn’t.

10 years! 10 fricking years they've had to train our youngsters in these highly skilled jobs. Instead they expected them to PAY for their own training! As if the thousands of youngsters now needed could even begin to afford to PAY. You reap what you sow and nobody sowed anything.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

I gave myself a reading project to finish within the year. It’s coming in the mail.
I figure the #DeclineAndFall is actually *very* relevant? Not joking, am excited. I studied Ancient Greek and some Latin at university, I love the world of antiquity and love a challenge. #BookSky

The conduct which disclaims the ordinary maxims of reason excites our suspicion and eludes our inquiry. Whenever the spirit of fanaticism…has insinuated itself into a noble mind, it insensibly corrodes the vital principles of virtue and veracity.
