@aral I really appreciate that. Except for one slightly rebellious teacher in Highschool, I was taught a more sanitized version of history. I’ve had to play catch up over the decades with my own reading. From The Capital Order to Cobalt Red and other writings, I’m trying to put together a clearer picture of our history, economic theories and the consequences to others in the wider world. It’s hard to push back against things we don’t understand.

@coleenwalter @aral Same here in the uk - the white washed image of britain's 'adventures abroad', taught to us in the 50's and 60's, was pretty much a complete reversal of the truth. It's been an on-going re-education for me, and at 73 I'm still finding shocking facts about my country's ruling class and their use and abuse of all people, at home *and* away. Not so 'great' britain in reality 😔.
