![]() White evangelicals today, cloaked in a vision of Christian patriarchy and nationhood, form a staunch voting bloc in support of white leadership. Most recently, evangelicals supported the Tea Party, a Muslim ban, and border policies allowing family separation. In the twentieth century, they sided with segregationists in avidly opposing movements for racial equality and civil rights. During Reconstruction, they used it to deny the vote to newly emancipated blacks. ![]() ![]() During the buildup to the Civil War, white evangelicals used scripture to defend slavery and nurture the Confederacy. ![]() These evangelicals raise a starkly consequential question for electoral politics: Why do they claim morality while supporting politicians who act immorally by most Christian measures? In this clear-eyed, hard-hitting chronicle of American religion and politics, Anthea Butler answers that racism is at the core of conservative evangelical activism and power.īutler reveals how evangelical racism, propelled by the benefits of whiteness, has since the nation’s founding played a provocative role in severely fracturing the electorate. The American political scene today is poisonously divided, and the vast majority of white evangelicals plays a strikingly unified, powerful role in the disunion. ![]()

It was interesting, until I ran across this passage:īobby’s cock is great for porn. The first chapter literally starts with a graphic threesome. It could probably do a tumble with an editor for a bit. How much I love a guy is in direct correlation with how often I unsolicitedly blow him to completion.īefore I dive into this review, let me just say that it’s not the most well-written book. Nothing is more of a turnoff than when someone you’re not into texts you. I read it in less than 24 hours, and I must say, it contains a buttload of hilarious and sexually-insightful anecdotes that made me laugh out loud and nod in agreement for example: She came out with Insatiable: Porn – A Love Story earlier this year, and it’s taken me this long to learn about it. You or your significant other have probably seen her videos online, don’t lie. Asa Akira, net worth $1.5 million, paid $2000 a scene. One of my favorite porn stars has a book. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Early in the story, Lowrie says, “when you know that there’s no future, the only thing that’s interesting any more is the past” (22) and I think this is the moment her character clicked for me. It’s almost as if James took a glimpse into my mind and figured out a book that would captivate me. Reading The Quiet at the End of the World felt much like witnessing the perfect storm. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) (Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. Lowrie and Shen face an impossible choice: in the quiet at the end of the world, they must decide who to save and who to sacrifice. Their idyllic life is torn apart when a secret is uncovered that threatens not only their family but humanity’s entire existence. ![]() Closeted in a pocket of London and doted upon by a small, ageing community, the pair spend their days mudlarking for artefacts from history and looking for treasure in their once-opulent mansion. Lowrie and Shen are the youngest people on the planet after a virus caused global infertility. How far would you go to save those you love? It has the signature mystery elements from Lauren James along with a whole lot of introspection. The Quiet at the End of the World was just one of those books that hit all my sweet spots. ![]() ![]() In 1978, Zuboff was working at the Washington Post, with linotypists who were converting to cold type. ![]() People were saying ‘My work is floating in space!’” “They were expecting immediate productivity, growth, efficiency. To earn money, she became an organisational change consultant, working in offices that were “computerising” for the first time. She was a postgraduate at Harvard, writing a doctorate on the Industrial Revolution. Her work on the themes of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism began as far back as the late 1970s. She is brilliantly erudite and outlines her argument in trenchant, honed phrases, as if reading aloud. She has dark eyes behind horn-rimmed glasses abundant black curls a low, resonant voice. ![]() ![]() ![]() Later, in an unglamorous spot by some parked vans, Zuboff explains why she wrote her book. This is the “surveillance capitalism” of the title, which Zuboff defines as a “new economic order” and “an expropriation of critical human rights that is best understood as a coup from above”. It describes how global tech companies such as Google and Facebook persuaded us to give up our privacy for the sake of convenience how personal information (“data”) gathered by these companies has been used by others not only to predict our behaviour but also to influence and modify it and how this has had disastrous consequences for democracy and freedom. ![]() |
