The historical parallels between Gamal Abdel Nasser and Simón Bolívar hurt my heart. Both of these eclectic larger than life men with lofty ideals who died after crushing defeats to their legacies. Marred with regrets, failures, and morally questionable geopolitical moves they treaded in hostile water for hours with the unparalleled resilience that only Hope can provide. He who serves a revolution ploughs the sea.

Would strongly recommend not reading the intro for this book

You don’t hate the British and the French enough

Honestly, where I’m at so far, lowkey embodies the autism experience. Just saying. Major early W.

Already read the book but I forgot to add to my book challenge lol. If someone is actually reading this, I would strongly recommend reading this if you want to better have a glimpse of the depravity of the mind of… a certain group of people. Palm colored if you’re picking up what I’m down. Also, the chart on the chapter for the gender breakdown of witch arrests/executions is WILD and will BLINDSIDE you

The Ottomans are like the British if they were cool and had redeemable contributions to the world; so basically nothing like the British on second thought

I’m starting to think that this whole prison stuff might be problematic…

I really hope this King Louis guy gets his act together and establishes a constitutional monarchy or whatever!
