Trump And History
Fintan O'Toole writes that Donald Trump is the Unpresident -- a man who enlarges the public sphere as he tries to shrink history: This sudden enlargement of the public sphere is a response to Donald Trump’s mastery of belittlement. For all his logorrheic meanderings and florid hyperbole, Trump’s method is essentially reductionist, with mocking nicknames (“Crooked Hillary”), three-word slogans (“Lock her up!”), and an entire presidency predicated on four letters: MAGA A central feature of Trump’s practice of malign minimalism is the erasure of American history. It is not just that... more »

Is Racism and Bigotry in Our DNA?
*Tom Oliver* *Science, * Most human attitudes and behaviour have both a genetic and an environmental component. *Is bigotry in our DNA, a remnant of our fear of “the other” way back when that was necessary?

Roosevelt Library.] Tokyo needed new oil supplies to wage its war in China and the only way to get them would be to attack Washington's allies in the Pacific.

Metal Storm: The Gun That Could Fire A Million Rounds a Minute
*Peter Suciu* *Technology, Americas* [image: https://pixabay.com/photos/bullets-brass-9mm-shiny-brass-4526265/] Yes, this actually exists. Until the invention of the first repeating rifles in the middle of the 19th century, the average soldier could typically fire about three rounds per minute. The truly skilled might have been able to get off the occasional fourth round, which is why for centuries armies lined up in mass – it was essentially the only way to ensure that some of the rounds would hit their targets. Weapons such as the Gatling gun and the Maxim machine gun changed... more »

Remarkably, over the last century fear of government has been transmuted to fear of its absence, even as governments h... more »
