Heya, all of you

You can start through this hyperlink right here and begin reading along with a book while you're listening to it.

Best way to enjoy it.

First book is A Game of Thrones.

Current (and fifth book) that I'm on is A Dance with Dragons.

How are you all enjoying your current read-through, if you are reading along with me?

This is for those currently reading.

Get the first, second, third, fourth, or fifth book from your local library near you. Or get the book PDF from Z Library or Anna's Archive, whichever book you're on or currently starting with.

Discussion question:

What's your favorite part in A Dance with Dragons?

Anyone else love TTRPG history?

Couldn't find a "TV" or "television" comm (which we need).

What did everyone think of the finale? I liked it! Finally, a good ending for once. Great stuff, good ending. Just what I wanted.

And it ended logically too.

Of course, this is a later set-up for Thrawn.

We got no Palpatine in the end there.

Lots of impressive shots from the cinematography. Well-done angles there.

Glad Omega became a pilot for the Rebel Allliance.

At least some people get their happy ending in the end in this galaxy.

Too much war and too much "dark times."

We need good stuff happening for once, otherwise what they fight for is worthless.

Good stuff. Well, not really. Heavy subject matter, if anything. And the retching sound at the end was all too real for me (as someone that once went through an OD).

Honestly, I do like the subject matter of fascism (and especially neo-fascism nowadays). There's the pre-fascist era, when it was just being developed, from the 1890s onward, and then there's when it was actually coined by Benito Mussolini onward. And then there's post-1945. Operation Paperclip, the rise of the white power movement in the 1980s and the terrorist attacks of the 1990s. And not to mention the "fourth empire" of the Ku Klux Klan during the Obama years.

I live in Virginia and that's where the fiasco at Charlottesville happened with people invoking the "great replacement theory" meme, and you can connect that to "white extinction anxiety" during the late 1800s to 20th century.

The movie evoked all these thoughts for me and the normalization of it. I see it with several of my family members too. We are living through the growth of a new fascism in the United States, I feel.

Interesting article. Bayard Rustin was also an anti-communist but considered himself a socialist. He was often lumped in with "the Establishment." He did work with MLK, Jr., who himself worked with communists, but he was considered to the right of MLK. Still, he did leave a legacy and was considered good a politicking and getting what he and his constituency wanted, from what I understand.
