@rrb@infosec.exchange @ellestad@sfba.social @moh_kohn@mastodon.scot I'm unfamiar with Anne Applebaums work. I'll look her up. I'm not much of an academic. Got chased out of school during the satanicpanic. So i'm mostly self taught. I'd toss college textbooks in my duffel to fill dead time while I was in transit. Which was usually. lol. As per Africa, i'm impressed. I'd gotten the impression many had become rather hostile to outside meddling in recent years. Benevolent or otherwise. I know i've been told to mind my own biz a few times!

@Beggarmidas@mastodon.social @ellestad@sfba.social @moh_kohn@mastodon.scot With Africa, a colleague of mine advised me to mainly listen. They are tired of White people lecturing them. If you set up a dialog and respond to their interests, things work better. It is all about the grift: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocracy%2C_Inc.%3A_The_Dictators_Who_Want_to_Run_the_World
