@Kvk_AUHistory I agree. At first when I read philanthropy, I expected a charitable organization, not for him to build a school. Even still the only reason he did this was to increase the value of his land in Chicago so it was selfish reasoning. #AuburnWorldHistory
“…who specialized in violence to maximize output.” I genuinely do not understand how someone could have the mentality that hurting other human beings for personal gain is acceptable. It’s truly disgusting. #AuburnWorldHistory
“Soon, Douglas would work a third of them to death.” It would not have been possible for Douglas to purchase his Chicago property or build a university without the money from slave labor, yet the slaves are the ones who get nothing and end up injured or dead. #AuburnWorldHistory
“…to have his proverbial wedding cake and eat it too.” In my opinion, this is such a cruel and twisted line. Stephen Douglas is marrying in order to own a massive slave plantation and evade the law which is wrong. #AuburnWorldHistory
Seeing people flee for their lives once the protest took a violent turn and hearing the gunshots was terrifying. I can’t imagine how scary that must be especially for those who did not know if their family members were alive or dead. #AuburnWorldHistory
“There’s just something in the culture that is a lot more lax about gender identity and fanciness.” This past January I went to New Orleans for the first time and it was definitely a unique experience. #AuburnWorldHistory
@bonniecook0024 I completely agree. I still feel like I didn’t get a clear definition but I understand the basics of neoliberalism. #AuburnWorldHistory
“Universities have pretty much been taken over by the neoliberal projects surrounding them.” This sentence stuck out to me because the wording “taken over” seems to be negative. #AuburnWorldHistory
Before reading this interview, I had never heard of neoliberalism. After reading it, I feel like I have a better understanding of what it refers to. #AuburnWorldHistory
@yh5462 I completely agree with this statement and thought the same thing. Nuclear warfare is so unexpected which is what makes it even scarier. #AuburnWorldHistory
