The Worthy House (Charles Haywood)
Society & Culture
From 2018, through the lens of a classic work of applied politics, thoughts on coups (which have not happened, nor did I predict them), and on social media's role in enforcing global rule of the Left (which I did predict, and which has most definitely happened). (The written version of this review was first published August 27, 2018. Written versions are available here.)
