Good Reads

I have started this extremely thread as a place to share good reads pertaining to news and current affairs.

Folks, I'm talking about journalism.

This is not a discussion thread. Do not discuss things in my thread. There are other threads for discussions.

Here's a good read: 4chan: The Skeleton Key to the Rise of Trump

Please post some good reads you've read and I'll add them to my Pocket.

I will soon be enjoying - again - The Tale of Mrs Tiggywinkle when grandson number 1 pops out in a couple of weeks.

The initial article is giving a bit too much credit to a bunch of self-loathing nerds to the rise of Trump. The author doesn't really help himself by consistently drawing attention to the mental state of these people, a lot of conjecture and reductive conclusions. Correlation =/= causation and all that. Nice writing style though.

No discussion thanks. Post a good read or get out.

Interesting read on the commercial fetishisation of insecure employment for bugger all money:

The Gig Economy Celebrates You Working Yourself To Death

Are we allowed to talk about books? If so, I would recommend The Muslims Are Coming by Arun Kundnani as a way of understanding much of contemporary politics.

NO FFSS

sorry smat

If we were allowed to recommend books, I would recommend Ian disabuse himself of some his sillier notions by reading The Significance of Borders by Thierry Baudet. Alas, this is Smat’s thread and his wishes must be respected.

The Unhappy Medium

This is about common sense centrists. It's not even that good of a read, I just agreed the fuck out of it.
