That show made me interested in reading/listening to Gulag. Looked it up on audible, and they want $100 for all 3 parts.

Fucking bouguoise.
Pure coincidence
With an Audible membership, one can have all three volumes unabridged for $36 (three credit purchase). That's 76 hours of Gulag for $36.

Ordinarily economically illiterate proletariats should donate $64 to a reputable charity when purchasing for that kind of deal.
OR... you could just go down to the public libary and get them shits for free. Proletariatie welcome.
HAIL!

Her needs America so they won't just take his shit away like in some pussy non gun totting countries can happen.

Public library? What sort of socialist dystopia are you living in over there?
You mean Fife has to pay tax so that some good for nothing parasite can read a book for free?
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Well . . . I was responding to catass' assertion that all three volumes cost $100 on Audible. Just trying to be helpful.

But . . . since you mention it, it would definitely be cheaper to just get a copy and place to read it with central heat & air purchased with money stolen from your neighbors.

Speaking of Solzhenitsyn, this week is the centenary of his birth.

Does the Unfortunate 20th Century Foretell a Worse 21st?
The prophet did not live long enough to see his words about the West come true; he didn’t have to. He knew the truth whereof he spoke, having seen it occur in Russia. But he left us with a solution, one which we seem presently disinclined to adopt: “To the ill-considered hopes of the last two centuries . . . we can propose only a determined quest for the warm hand of God, which we have so rashly and self-confidently spurned. Only in this way can our eyes be opened to the errors of this unfortunate 20th century . . . But it is during trials such as these that the highest gifts of the human spirit are manifested. If we perish and lose this world, the fault will be ours alone.”

Will the 21st century be even more unfortunate than its predecessor? With the West abandoning its centuries-old faith, just as one almost as old rises up to challenge and extinguish it, what do we propose to substitute? Secular humanism is no match for jihad. The end result of moral nihilism, as the Soviets demonstrated, is death and destruction on an industrial scale; if man is the sole measure of all things, we are in bigger trouble than we know—because, God knows, left to our own devices, we’re just not up to the task.

Even as a non-religious person, I appreciate the value of an overriding moral guidepost.

We had the Constitution for a short time, but it’s been abandoned in favor of “special interests” and expediency.

You may well be right.. we are fucked without religion. Has there ever been a successful civilization free of organized religion/totalitarianism?
SJWs are a natural consequence of corporatism.
