You can hate the CIA and MI6 all you want. But you really can’t hate a plan where the CIA, MI6, HK police, HK triad, movie stars, pop stars, ordinary people all worked together to smuggle survivors of the Tiananmen massacre out of China

Like with christianity, their relationship to western culture is instrumental rather than substantive. It's just a tool to harm others with.

- lost classical texts were mainly lost because people stopped writing them down, not destroyed on purpose (and a huge amount of the classical texts we still have came to us via the Islamic world)

Here’s a fun top five: things that are consensus among historians but are essentially unknown by the public. Richard I, a bad king of England. Roman Empire, fell in 1453. Paul, more important than Jesus. Witch burning, a modern phenomenon not a medieval one. Britain last invaded in 1688. Yours?

It’s the thing that proves the Clinton era ‘it’s the economy, stupid’ adage wrong. People in the U.K. have acted against their economic self interest on many occasions because of racism, xenophobia, and toxic rhetoric about migrants.

the trump administration is living inside a social media dreamworld where the US is literally all-powerful and can do anything it wants to anyone it wants, and the US media, rather than pointing out this is deranged madness, is trying to demonstrate its neutrality by dignifying the fantasy
