@TIKhistory I would highly recommend Hannah Arendt - "The Origins of Totalitarianism" on the topic (if you haven't had it already on your reading list)
@smith_valence@QuilletteM Totally agree on that! Especially when it comes to unknown diseases strangers can wipe out your people. Just think of native Americans in the 15th & 16th centuries.
"Poets use words [...] to change things. [...] Every word counts. Every breath as well.
In a world filled with empty noise, the most important slots are reserved for the poets we seek to listen to, and the poet we seek to become." - @ThisIsSethsBlog https://t.co/OA1Aj0joQk
