This is what really hit me reading Mark Twain’s autobiography when he started describing the atrocities by the US government against Native Americans.

His autobiography was dictated to a stenographer which he then edited later. This way it has the feeling of a simple discussion with Twain, and because of this the discussion of tragedy as a current event, just as you and I would chat over a coffee, really hits home how little we’ve changed.

I watched the video and was shocked at how casual the conversation was. He straight up says maybe we should start killing the homeless and the other hosts just nod along.

To be fair, we’re all way worse on the banjo than that.
