Passionate Declarations | 
pickI haven‘t done a lot of reading in the latter half of the year, but what I have read has been substantive. Including this, a collection of essays on war and justice. I found this collection bracing, full of writing which challenges a status quo. Similar to A People‘s History, this is full of more nuanced history as well as reminders of the social changes that have been made by people working in solidarity through nonviolent active resistance. ⬇️
psalva It covers a large swathe of topics, including Machiavellian Realism in U.S. foreign policy, violence and human nature, economic justice, free speech, and Communism and anti-Communism. I found it immensely thought provoking throughout. Five stars. 12mo
Reggie Have you ever watched Squid Game? There‘s an original series and then there‘s this challenge series based on the original. And you have to see near the end what steps people take collectively to try and do things as a team versus doing things that might harm someone‘s feelings. Only one person can win the prize money and it surprises me that they think communally vs me, me, me. Great review. 12mo
psalva @Reggie I‘ve seen the original series but I was nervous to watch the new show. I might check it out though. That sounds really interesting :) 12mo
