How is Hunter S Thompson’s book on Hells Angels Only read both of his fear and loathing books and I enjoy his eccentric writing style.

[Anonymous No.23219629]

>>23219602
It's not a large overarching narrative story like his other works, if you want something that resembles actual journalism you'll like it, but due to this its also less eccentric. If you find the culture of Hells angels interesting i'd reccomend it, if you only like Thompson i'd skip it.

, more journalistic and as a result less eccentric. It was okay but not what i was looking for when reading Thompson. If you have a interest in the cu

I've read all of Yahtzee's books. The Galaxy series was good, Mogworld was alright, but everything else sucked. Jam and Existentially Challenged were dreadfully awful, especially for someone who claims to be a master of writing.

They're good. Hobsbawm's definetly a marxist and it shows, but even If you're not you can still enjoy his works. Either for his interesting historiography, or just because his series is one of the best series on the time period even If you're explicitly anti-marxist.

it was originally known as the "american college test," a certain standardized college admissions test, but they changed to the ACT. they are the alternative to the SAT (originally the "scholastic aptitude test" then later "scholastic assessment test"). the original names are misleading to the consumer
many colleges are waiving the requirement of these standardized tests now because it would require students to pay exam fees to the duopoly and get transportation to a testing site (tests are done on saturdays, no school buses), which would exclude poorer families from going to college. basically leveling the playing field

It's funny that standardized testing was originally this massive movement in favor of social equality, because the idea was anybody can take the test and get into college. Now it's viewed as the acme of inequality.

Maybe just don't let Jews (ETS) administer your society's Confucian exams system. Seems like it works as long as it's kept meritocratic and either free or affordable. Just look at the wonders the Napoleonic schools and polytechnical institutes did for French society.

Standardized testing in isolation wouldn't be horrible, but the issue is that rich kids can pay thousands for tutors and elite highschools while poor kids go to shitty underfunded schools and have to work instead of study

Hitler fixed that

>Because the HJ aspired to bridge class barriers, many of its members were able to meet youngsters or adults from different backgrounds and thus break out of their own milieus. Ambitious HJ members could rise up through the ranks. Sometimes working-class children found themselves in authority over youngsters with a grammar-school background. Those who performed well in the HJ might well also find their social mobility enhanced outside the organisation. A good HJ record could open up opportunities for youngsters whose parents' social status would in the past have denied them much chance of advancement. For example, successful HJ members might be able to get into one of the National Socialist political academies or into a better school; they might be able to obtain an apprenticeship in a sought after occupation or gain entry into a white-collar profession. For many youngsters, the old adage from the working-class milieu of the 1920s 'them up on top, us down below', no longer seemed to fit.
