Came to ask this. "How does it feel to be an entitled boomer?"

This is interesting. My grandmother was a Jewish communist, and she saw a lot of anti-Semitism imbued into the second Red Scare in the 1950's in Canada/US. My family left Europe well before the Shoah, but there is nobody that we know of left from the ones who stayed. She was Red-baited out of universities and jobs, but she noticed that it was often only the Jewish communists that got the boot, many gentiles were treated like they had just made a "mistake" in the 1930's or some such.

Can you comment on the nature of the Red Scare and generalised American anti-Semitism in your experience?

Well, that's quite the info dump. Thanks a lot!

The person who wants to play this game says "oh my, now I have tonnes of stuff to read!" The person who wants to get something done today says "oh my...now I have tonnes of stuff to read."

Meh, we're cool.

The legacies of, perhaps, Africa's most brutal kelpto-colonial state certainly weighs heavily on the shoulders of the DRC.

Do you see any way out in the near/intern for the manifold violence in the DRC? Is there any conceivable way that civil society organisations (unions, community organisations) will be able to locally engage an end to the conflict(s) while lacking armed wings? How strong are such organisations, and is there a way for them to exist/expand outside of tribal lines?
