No, leftists are like vegans. Call a vegan a vegetarian, "I'm not a vegetarian, I'm a vegan!"
Call a leftist a democrat, "I'm not a democrat, I'm a leftist!"
(btw, I'm a leftist. Not a vegan though)

If someone refuses to admit their political affiliation in the US you can basically guarantee they're right wing.
Have you read Children of Time? It's also Tchaikovsky, it doesn't really get space-opera-y until the third book, Children of Memory but it's soooooo good. Soooooo good.
This sounds awesome. I usually put smoked ham hock in with a pot of collared greens but I'll have to try it with barley. Thanks!
True, the Aussies have been making a good show of it.
Stockton Rush is a killer and should be charged posthumously with four counts of negligent homicide. He's just as culpable, if not more, that someone who gets behind the wheel drink and kills their passengers.
Wow, I hope Paul can defeat the Harkonen, he could do some real good in the galaxy. What they really need is to put their faith in a charismatic leader.
Also, I'm sad that Duncan Idaho died. I feel like if he lived there's no chance he would become insufferable in the distant future.
I have to second The Final Architecture. Lots of action, lots of fleshed out alien species, a good solid crew to follow. It checks all the boxes.
The issue with this approach is that it further entrenches gaps that are already there. The best predictor of economic outcome is zip code. That's because schools are funded by local property tax. Live in a wealthier area, get better schools. Better schools lead to a better outcome. Schools in poorer districts stay poorer. It's a system that is self perpetuating.
Replacing affirmative action with something that is strictly income based could help but that ignores other systemic biases that are based on race rather that income.
I feel like if we're ending affirmative action we should also put in place more restrictions on legacy admissions which is just affirmative action for dumb, rich kids and represents a much bigger chunk of students than affirmative action ever did.
We're not talking about punishing anyone, we just don't want to hear or see their bigotry. They can have their space and we can choose not to interact with them.
It's definitely not lesser known, but my favorite is The Expanse.
I'm not a democrat, I'm a leftist.
