    The Case for Colonialism: A Review

    Aileen has some demons to work through, and one of them is people who think that colonialism has a bad rep and should make a comeback like it’s f*****g mom jeans in the late 2010s-early 2020s. Oh, and like colonialism went away, which it never did. There are no digressions this time. It is just pure, directed pettiness.

    EP: 55 Redvers Buller & The Politics of Memory

    I moved, and I’d like to talk about my new city. In particular, the Statue that greets you as you enter. And this means, talking about British imperialism, the politics of memory and the nature of commemoration.
