The turner diaries
The Turner Diaries is a book that I can truthfully express I hate it because of its disturbingly hateful ideology and the way it praises violence. Reading it felt nerve-wracking and, not just because of the weird content but because of the undeniable racism, antisemitism, and insane drive of the story. It’s… Read more“The turner diaries”
The wretched earth: context
The Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon is a powerful book that explores the effects of colonization on both the people who are colonized and the colonizers.

The wretched earth
Reading The Wretched of the Earth felt like being thrust into the raw, painful realities of colonialism and its aftermath. What hit me the hardest was Fanon’s argument that decolonization, by its very nature, is violent.

Instead of encouraging… Read more“Anarchist cookbook”

No Mans Land
I enjoyed this movie a lot. The plot was good, the twists and turns of it were fun, it kept me on my toes, I didn’t know what to expect, and unlike f is for fake it stuck to one main point. I love movies that have two enemies coming… Read more“No Mans Land”
F is for fake
From the beginning I didn’t enjoy the movie. It took way too long to even know what the heck was going on. We are just figuring out what the names of the “famous” or “important” people in this movie. It’s so boring and wordy and doesn’t make sense. It started… Read more“F is for fake”
SCUM Manifesto
My reaction to The SCUM Manifesto I would say was fairly positive, I enjoyed reading it, more so than anything else we have read. While reading the text it evoked feelings of empowerment and validation. Valerie Solanas’s unapologetic critique of male dominance could resonate with my frustration caused by the… Read more“SCUM Manifesto”
