    They are an idiot troll and I feel like I wasted my time reading through their deranged contributions to this thread.

    But your book recommendation made it worth it! Thanks!

      It is very painful and difficult to read.

      Every single person the book talks about is a person like every user here on Hexbear, with the same beliefs and ideals of a world future united and free of capitalist exploitation. It is very painful and very difficult to get through if you humanise the numbers, each with a family that was destroyed.

        Yeah, I can imagine. I saw Act of Killing which was similarly brutal to watch for similar reasons.

        I don’t think I have any nationalist brainworms to break but I’ll look that one up too. Thanks!

          It makes you go from “The US is evil and the current power structure must be destroyed, but with revolution it can become a force of peace and humanity on the world stage” to “JDPON wen?”
