By Haroon Moghul

…cation, draws all, even the most barbarian, nations into civilisation. The cheap prices of commodities are the heavy artillery with which it batters down all Chinese walls, with which it forces the barbarians’ intensely obstinate hatred of foreigners to capitulate.

By Ed Simon

…ducated people in the history of the western world. Drawn from an upwardly mobile yeoman class, and populated by ministers, scholars, and merchants, they were some of the most unlikely candidates to forge a new civilization in the frontier wilderness.

Initially the symbolic import of their American lo…

…y LGBTQ faith-based organization in the region. It works primarily in Anglophone countries but has plans to expand further in Africa, with additional focus on Francophone regions.

…e explosive devices, er, I mean electric cars that entrap their drivers in mobile crematoriums, and feeling so threatened by women and BIPOC that his companies are often in court over harassment, discrimination, or breaking contracts. This walking embodiment of all 10 biblical plagues in one, Elon just won’t go away and count his billions.
