Ah great catch my friend! Thanks so much. I’m about to correct it.

Do you think Truman’s decision to nuke Japan was justified? Why or why not? Curious to know how others see this.

Would love to know what y’all think—

What stuck out? What did I miss? What gets remembered wrong?

I wrote this piece to challenge the idea that Prohibition was ever about virtue.

If you’ve ever felt like history was sanitized or weaponized, this is for you.

Appreciate any feedback or thoughts—especially from folks who care about systems, history, or propaganda.

Thanks for reading.

What do y’all think we still aren’t being told the truth about?

If they could sell Prohibition as virtue and get away with poisoning people—

what else do we accept as “normal” that’s actually built on control and profit?

For those who know what this is—you know what to do.

If you’ve seen signs of this on your campus, in your org, or in your inbox… document it.

Assume everything digital is traceable. Assume nothing is private.

I think it’s honestly insane that King George III was the monarch during the American Revolution. Like—he literally watched his empire unravel while mentally deteriorating. The symbolism of that? Wild.

And it makes perfect sense, too—he wasn’t just “mad” in the medical sense. He was a monarch at the edge of an era where people were starting to reject divine rule, hereditary power, and all the illusions that kept empires running. His madness almost feels like a metaphor for the collapse of monarchy itself.

He’s one of those figures where the history feels mythic—like the universe couldn’t have picked a more poetic villain for the birth of a republic.

Thank you so much—nuance really is everything, especially when history gets flattened into black-and-white narratives. I’m really grateful you saw that in the piece. We need more conversations that live in the gray.

While researching this, what genuinely wrecked me was realizing that there wasn’t just one drug crisis in Germany—there were two. An opiate crisis after WWI and a meth crisis after WWII. Layered over that is the unimaginable scale of the Holocaust, the physical and moral scorched earth that followed, and the complete collapse of a population that had already lost so much.

I always knew the Nazis were monsters—but I didn’t fully grasp how many people inside Germany were also victims: people who resisted, who stayed because they believed they could fight from within, who were swallowed by a system they refused to join. It just… broke something open in me.

Have you ever come across something in history that made you stop and rethink everything—not just who the villains were, but what it meant to survive them?
