He wrote this as a way to rationalize there being no white European racial superiority when it is obvious some countries lack any sort of development throughout history.
The funny part is now that the Overton window has continued to shift his rhetoric is not anti white enough so now the mob considers him a racist.

I also did a lot of fentanyl and almost died a bunch of times before I got clean. It was mostly the constipation, not the constant near death experiences that made me quit using lol. My friends narcan'd me one and once I realized what happened I got very angry because I almost made it. It was just like falling asleep, I don't even remember it, only coming to while sitting in my car parked in my friends yard while they poured water on me and rubbed my chest while looking at me with terrified expressions.

I understood the Rhetoric part of the book, but what does he mean by being truly 'Persuaded'? Is it just re-packaged Nietzscheanism?

Demonstrations can't disprove undemonstrable theory, that'd be in Popper ;).

You may ask George one question - of his books or himself - and he must answer in full and in total honesty.

It's not racist. Raspsail spent a considerable amount of time in South America with natives. He respected and was fascinated by their culture. The reason this book gets labelled as racist is because CHUDS use it to push WHITE REPLACEMENT theory. Do your own research, chuds. RASPAIL IS NOT A RACIST.

My teacher recommended Catch-22 because he thought it'd "fit my style". I later wrote an essay called "Catch-22 is the most overrated piece of shit book ever" and the essay wasn't even about the book, it was about the civil rights movement. Just a harmless joke but he didn't appreciate it.

The Moss Roberts translation is what I would consider the best and most academic translation, but I've also heard good things about the Yu Sumei translation.

Moss Roberts is the definitive translation
I've read 100 pages of the Yu Sumei translation and I thought it was good but it's lighter on notes, I can't remember if there were any notes
