People with statue avatars say all this "retvrn" shit about European identity and whatever. I just want to return to when you'd see a fat guy and go "Now that's a well-read gentleman. That is a person I can have an intelligent conversation with"

There are many problems with this mini essay. I will focus on one. I do not think it makes much sense to describe either the Hua Guofeng/Ye Jianying palace coup against the Gang of Four or the Dengist ouster of Hua as a “coup against the party.” Deng Xiaoping began his…
