pickMan… possibly more relevant than ever.
This is a “heavy” book, meaning a lot of material is presented with real world examples that might blow one‘s mind. So heavy in fact, this is one that would be even more beneficial to read in a hard copy.
Still. Despite knowing all media (left or right) are propagandist in general, Herman & Chomsky really drive it home.
We all need to be more vigilante & not take anything at face value. Stay safe.
pickThis is a simple book for anybody to understand. It takes 20 points, that felt significant, from the time of Nazi Germany and related them to today. The points are clear and concise, with just enough detail and historical context to understand. It‘s small, and pocket sized, for your connivence. For being originally written in 2016 (with updated points of 2020), there are incredible points that are comparable between Germany then and America today.
pickPelosi narrates her book highlighting her most momentous events in the last 4 decades. She starts off with her husband Paul‘s attack, then covers 9/11 and the Iraq War, the 2008 recession, health care and the Affordable Care Act, Jan 6 then wraps it up with the AIDES quilt and a little insight to her home city, San Francisco. I really appreciate her hard work and the decades she‘s spent fighting to make our country better. ‘For the children.‘
Welp fam, this is gonna be a long haul (not the book; it‘s almost a pamphlet.) What do you do when you‘re scared? Read a book. Drink your water. Get some sleep.
Well, this was an interesting book to read this past week. It is outdated, though, this edition having been published in 2019. Despite that, some interesting big picture points to consider heading into the future.
