I really liked his Idols of Nations; pretty niche indeed, but also very interesting and it touches a subject I know next to nothing about. I guess I should read his other works since he has many others on similar subjects. Which ones would you most recommend off the top of your head?

At this point I don’t know why I am even surprised.

I think I remember seeing BadEmpanada jokingly saying that there should be a “we will dance again” festival on 7 October and explaining it for a few minutes. This poster seems too similar to a shitpost related to this, this can’t be genuine right?

The other day I found a book titled Our Enver at home. It’s not the first time I find pro-Enver Hoxha literature which was bought by my monarchist family (very cringe, I know; thankfully it’s only the older generations that are still like that) but it’s pretty funny that I keep finding them.

Here’s a picture of Enver Hoxha kissing flags:

Exactly, I read 1984 when I was still kind of a lib and I still thought “hey, this just sounds like the US!” lol

Thanks! Of course, I am so unbelievably happy about this, I made the comment about it being the most liberal part of China as a bit of a joke (funnily enough I’ll even be in one of the most liberal cities of the province). In fact, I have been anticipating this for the two first years of my time in my uni!

I’ve finally gotten the email I’ve been waiting for: my uni has finished selections for student exchanges with partner unis abroad next semester. Our uni has no partners in AES-controlled territories, but has a few in Taiwan Province, so I applied to go there, so I could practise my Mandarin and also finally go outside of the continent for the first time of my life. And I got selected!!! So by February I should be on Chinese soil!!! (though on the most liberal part of it)

I did not fall off my horse, please don’t put it in the history books that I feel off my horse or that I requested for this fact to be removed

I’ll take more pictures of the cards once I get home.
