boy am i learning. history and power are so fascinating. it’s incredible how many things you don’t know about. and they all affect today’s world. it’s actually mad

“im afraid of taking steps that are not on the map, but by taking those steps despite my fears, I have a much more interesting life”

this is a book about how imperialism affected latin america. so far i’ve learnt about mines, gold, and silver. i used to think that a country with natural resources is bound to economic prosperity but boy was i naive. european mind meets rest of the world’s history. heart cries for all the indigenous livelihoods and knowledge lost.

anger, loading

long time coming 🥺

let’s go!!

meh?

sad

my god gordon i hope you get your shit together. i don’t believe he will. he’s got himself into some unfortunate situations now. can’t wait to see how it ends. how long do you stick to your silly principles if they’re dragging you down?

“He had a vision of London, of the western world; he saw a thousand million slaves toiling and grovelling about the throne of money.” man’s talking about the rat race and it’s 1934

never have i been so determined in finishing a book. gordon should start selling feet pic or sth

If Gordon lived today he’d be an incel, 100%. He’s got such an annoying victim mindset that will keep him prisoner of his own profecy. The book is SUPER interesting, showing gordon’s thoughts, context, backstory. i’m loving it. It touches on many modern themes, but in different context.
if you’re a young professional in london (hello friends!), you should read this. themes of money, work, social classes

i love reading of life in london in the 1930s. grey, grim, windy, but am finding it way nicer than 1984. it feels to me a book that hits any young professional in london that doesn’t love their job. gordon also has lots of problems tho. overall, really enjoying it

mentions a bunch of books and authors i don’t know ha
