2024 Selective Essay Collection

It's been interesting.

The end of 2024 for me marked two years on Substack. It’s been a great experience writing and coming across phenomenal writer essays that do a better job analyzing history and current events than most mainstream media/academia outlets. Hopefully my writing, in its own small way, has helped that endeavor.

Here is a round-up of a few select essays from the last year whose concepts and ideas still occupy my thoughts. Enjoy.

“War. War never changes.”

-Fallout

The idea of who decides what a war crime is and where the line between justice and simply brutal retribution, is a thin one.

I really like going back in time and recounting these stories. Not enough is written about the 2001-present “War on Terror” period. Planning on a few more of these types of essays this year.

This one about Nikki “NeoCon” Haley putting high school hearts on bombs in Israel still angers me. If depictions of Muhammad can incite murderous anger, this stunt she pulled is no different.

The frightening reality is that America has become essentially an open-air mental facility across the nation, with 1000s of individuals who need to be seperated from society. For their safety and ours.

I’ve been repeating the phrase “Cargo Cult” Americans to describe this endless wave upon wave of unassimilated groups that continue to arrive in the country who purely want to be here for the benefits and handouts.

In my travels to the continent of Africa, it astounded me the idea held by many is the belief that Western foreign aid will always be a given, specifically in the form of food aid. No thought or possibility entertained that this could ever change due to geopolitical circumstance. Africa is on a knife edge of helplessness in this respect.

So, these are six essays I wanted to highlight from 2024. Looking forward to writing many more.
