I’m in the first or second chapter of
's Dawn of Everything, and the unearned arrogance the Europeans display to the indigenous Americans is constantly thrown back in their faces.“You don’t feed the hungry, even when when you have food to spare?”
“The only reason your men obey you is because you compel them with fear of violence?”
He goes on to argue that “enlightenment” ideals of human freedom and equality entered the primitive European brainpan through their experiences with truly free people who actually embraced equality. It’s a fun read
Dawn of Everything is the first book I would hand to a lib if I was going to try and turn them into a Marxist. Gotta shake those “west is best” and “muh human nature” brainworms first before you will get anywhere, IMO
If anything is worthy of worship, it’s the sun. It literally gives us life. All the energy you’ve ever had ultimately came from the sun.
sun theory of value, marxcels btfo

Real talk I used to make fun of astrology, and later I learned to chill out about it and not be such a nerd and let people enjoy things.
But then recently I was part of a conversation that 2 people turned into a tangent about astrology and they went on and on for about 5 minutes about extremely detailed personal qualities of Scorpios, down to how they supposedly react to a long list of very specific scenarios, and how this was a good way to understand and predict the actions of a couple of specific people they knew.
I realized I wasn’t actually ready to stop being really annoyed by astrology.
Astrology is just space phrenology.
If astrologists had institutional power it would be a nightmare, it’s only fun when not taken seriously at all.
