Damn, Truth, that's 20 minutes of your life.

Bellringer rang your bell. You don't have to answer it.

Do some chanting or something. Nam Myoho Renge Kyo.

Better use of your energies.

...aren't even taught.

FFS, he's not a communist. I don't think any sane person in the US who can define communism would be able to locate a communist, except perhaps on a university campus, where freethinking is encouraged in theory.

I was, of all places, at Bonnaroo back in the 20-aughts and struck up a conversation with a couple of South Asian econ grad students (while waiting to see Lewis Black). They were amazed that the tenets of Marxist economic theory isn't even taught to economics students in the United States.

So much for freedom on US campuses, huh? Works both ways.

Bellringer: From my readings across a variety of disciplines, including sociology and theology and history:

From my recent readings, everyone seems very concerned about the dearth of white births, taking into no positive account the explosion of black and brown births around the world, including in places like the UK.

Population nonreplacement only seems to be a problem for and by white people -- other than the Chinese, who FAFO on the one-child policy and infant femicide in general. Mormons and conservative Catholics and evangelicals are driving white population growth in the US.

I just recently worked on a book from a rightwing Catholic who was complaining that all liberals want to talk about is climate change and income inequality, but none of that matters at all as long as white people keep aborting babies. Who are all these white liberals saving the earth for? Why do they bother?

Author never mentions the two-thirds world. Author never mentions climate change without derision.

The new muscular Catholicism is such a crock of ----. This author may as well as titled his book My P!ss-Poor Attempt at Veiled Self-Modesty: A Subtle Racist, Misogynist, Xenophobic, and I'm-Just-a-Regular-Guy Diatribe."
