MODERATORS
feeling a loss of hope for a lot of ideals I hold
Can you expand on this a little?
After finishing the book, it galvanised my hopes and vision of what the future could look like.
The book showed again and again and again, that implementing a "progressive" program while trying to look like a "moderate", or following the "rules based order" was going to get you killed (especially if you are outside the Imperial core). A very important lesson.
It was probably a poor choice of words. It just put the challenges into perspective, and kills a little more of my idealism.
The book also put a lot of righteous anger in me.
Pick up The Buru Quartet. Although the massacres in 1965-66 caused damage that's still visible even today, they fell short of eradicating the spirit of the PKI.
yeah. Its a rough one.
