And as far as I know they've never done anything to meaningfully fess up, let alone atone.

    Read King Leopold's Ghost. It is very good if you want to hate everything just a little bit more.

      Just re-read this for like the 7th time. Then listened to ‘Heart of Darkness’ performed by Sir Kenneth Branagh. And it’s a whole experience.

      7th is a low guess

      (I“Audible" read. Yes it’s the same thing. And if you don’t like your internal reading voice, thanks to Capitalism, you can pay for someone to read for you. And, it’s not a one time thing, you can re-listen as many times as you’d like!)

        I'm with you, comrade. My commute can be up to 90 minutes, so I burn through audiobooks. I also put on The Great Courses to fall asleep. If audibly stimulating my brain with literature is wrong, I don't want to be right.

        I'd pirate books, but the ease of downloading and syncing is worth for the sub, for me.

        Back to the book: people stealing hands to account for spent ammo is some bleak shit.
