Since the lost dynamism and imagination Immerwahr mourns were functions of a ruthless imperialism based on monopoly capitalism, guns, slavery, greed, untrammeled masculinism, ethnic cleansing, and the equation of human progress with unlimited growth and waste, it's hard to feel much sympathy for his loss. "The United States grew more than four times in size." And how do you suppose THAT happened?
"We own the house; we're allowed to remodel it." Revolution according to the Property Brothers? Or maybe, "We own the garden; we're allowed to put gnomes and pinwheels in." I did get an urge to dip into Bellamy--but not for THOSE reasons. And what's all this about the Student Princes getting rid of hoc molestam senectutem?? Giovinezza, giovinezza, la primavera di bellezza ... Somebody or other made quite a snappy little marching song about that as i recall. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
