It is actually worse than that. The Crown lands are leased to the Govt at rates that haven't been adjusted for inflation in centuries. They remain the personal property of the person of the King, so unless we have a full-blown revolution the money would go straight to the Firm.

You simply stretch the definition of "colonialism" until you can make it apply to a country that didn't have colonies, in order to set up an equivalence

ASK ME ABOUT LUMBER

you go from colonialism to coloniality and then if you rummage around it enough you can make it apply to any system you deem illiberal or authoritarian or whatever

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

You use the hinterland/core model but also you redefine both and ask what the official line of the thank-tank that paid for your article is.

based on this, and the name of his cat, the only conclusion one can draw is that lovecraft placed black people atop his racial hierachy. they were not mere human beings, but like the cat a superior being so far above that the comparison was nonsensical.

plane travel should be as uncomfortable as possible, to discourage it as much as possible. ideally people would just get strapped in standing up, squished together as tightly as possible, with a mechanism for shaking them a little to prevent blood clots or whatever.

They were all extremely offended that someone would make a racial hierarchy where they were not on top.

Yep. The sexy plane designers can probably be retrained very quickly, and the flight attendants can just do their job on a train instead.

dammit i'm once again reminded of a short story i read like two decades ago

formerly dead narrating character stops being dead as society has moved on from fiction and isn't gonna maintain graveyards any more so the old corpses are off to the crematorium -- there's a moment where the narrator references Lovecraft as important fiction and the gravedigger dudes are like "uh they have sex manuals at libraries if that's your thing?"

ends with a Cask of Montillado reference
